Help us make GNOME Calendar rock-solid by expanding the test suite!
GNOME Calendar 45 will be a groundbreaking release in terms of UX (more on that later?), performance, and to some extent, reliability (we’ve at least solved two complex crashers recently, including a submarine Cthulhu crasher heisenbug and its offspring)… and yet, I think this might be “just the beginning” of a new era. And a…

Year MMXXI in 8 minutes
Near the end of 2020, I put a lot of thought into reevaluating my business’ value proposition, strategy, and processes.

It is time to welcome a new release of the Rebuild of EvanGTGelion: 0.5, “You Can (Not) Improve Performance”! This release of GTG has been 9 months in the making after the groundbreaking 0.4 release.

Here’s a general call for testing from your favorite pythonic native Linux desktop personal productivity app, GTG. In recent months, Diego tackled the epic task of redesigning the XML file format from a new specification devised with the help of Brent Saner (proposal episodes 1, 2 and 3), and then implementing the new file format…
