Reducing our core apps' software inventory
In my free time, I try to help other open source projects get rid of accumulated weight from the years. At GUADEC 2012, I told the Epiphany devs that the 3.x series (with its new design direction/vision and the gradually improving WebKitGTK backend) would be the perfect opportunity to close massive amounts of old bug…

GUADEC talk video published
No no no, I said video, Not videos. Seems like even though I spent hours editing and rendering a single recording, I’ve still beat the GUADEC organizers when it comes to “time to publish” 😉 My “neko edit” also has good sound quality (from a dedicated USB microphone) and high resolution versions of the slides…

Staring into the Axis' Abyss: the Railgun map
This blog post will not be picked up by the usual news sites. News sites don’t care about positive things, it is much more interesting to talk about impending doom. Don’t get me wrong, it is quite healthy and necessary to talk about these things, but it is also an opportunity for haters to come…

Break the kettles and sink the boats
This is it. The “ges” branch of Pitivi has been merged to “master”. The changes that have been merged are quite significant: over four hundred commits, 175 files changed, 13943 insertions and 30341 deletions (net result: more than 16 thousand lines of code removed while at the same time adding features and solving longstanding bugs). While “master” is…

PiTiVi GES spring sitrep
Now that the Internet is back to normal, here’s a status update on what I’ve been busy doing lately. You may remember my initial donation experiment last month where I presented the new realtime trimming preview feature—I was not kidding. It’s merged in the pitivi “ges” development branch now, with some additional improvements tacked on.…

GSoC 2012 and PiTiVi
Are you a student who wants to get involved in shaping the future of open source video editing? Are you looking for a friendly project providing stimulating challenges and a well-established codebase and expertise? Then consider applying for the Summer of Code programme to work on Pitivi or GES! See this page for the list…

Switching PiTiVi's main git repository
Due to public demand, the official main repository for PiTiVi is now git.gnome.org/pitivi instead of git://git.pitivi.org/git/pitivi.git This has many advantages: It reduces confusion. It prevents potential contributors from thinking we’re a dead project or something. We’re a killer project, that’s completely different. No need to manage two “official” repositories (one for development and one for translations)…

Restoring from backups
I’m currently in Málaga for the GStreamer hackfest. Hopefully, many bugs will perish. In the meantime, here’s a quick status update of stuff I’ve been doing in recent times in Pitivi. Cleanup the code for gtk actions so that the code is more readable and robust, fixing 629208 in the process. Cleanup the menus (again). Avoid…

Spring clean-up in January
Now that we’ve gotten rid of a ton of code in Pitivi (thanks to the port to GES), Thibault has been doing an incredible job at cleaning and reorganizing the remaining source files in a way that finally makes sense. I’m very happy about this: it means that it will not only make it easier for…

Alive and kicking
I would first like to welcome Antigoni, who has been accepted as part of GWOP 2011 to work on PiTiVi. In the coming months, she will be helping Thibault fix bugs in our port to GES and, when we have a reasonably stable base to work with, implement the much awaited titling feature! She wrote an…
