GNOME, Life and OOo
Long time no blogging mostly just to
lazy and not too much happening, but if I'm honest I got a little
bit addicted to playing Guild Wars ;)
I'm quite surprised to the lots of positive reactions to the upcoming GNOME 2.12-release, even on Slashdot and OSNews the flame-level seems to be really low compared to the last releases. Personally I'm really looking forward to this so let's hope some proper ebuilds make it to Gentoo asap, so here is some friendly poking at the awesome Gentoo GNOME Herd, even if I know how much additional work pre-releases can result in, lot's of bugzilla-noise...
OpenOffice.org 2.0 is coming along really nicely, upstream development still going fast. Some of the higlights of the last weeks: Michael Meeks of Novell fame has been poking at improving the startup time, cairo integration coming along, Red Hat working at integrating OOo with the GNOME printing dialog. One of the more visible new additions to OOo is an UI to switch between different icon sets. So if you want to have KDE icons under GNOME or vice versa: No problem anymore.
