I was asking since I'm spending some months in Prague, and I'd love to have a beer with a gnome hacker

Go Kaleo, go!

@Saviq: Thanks! I should be able to visit you soon now that we are not that far apart

@Daniel: Thank you! I will certainly see you in Brussels!

@Carlos: No, we should look into that In fact I believe I am the first one in the country.

@Daeng: Thank you very much for the praise. I do hope to apply myself as much as I did for Moovida and that it yields results that benefits the entire community. To answer your question, yes, that move is very much linked to the changes at Fluendo.

Congratulations. Does this move have anything to do with the upcoming rewrite of Moovida (and its semi-open nature)?

It's a great piece of software: I hope you bring the same quality to Ubuntu for OEMs.

About synchronisation: Evolution and a Nokia E61 - topyli

FWIW, Synchronization works perfectly over the Internet using a SyncML server such as ScheduleWorld[1] and SyncEvolution[2]. As a bonus, you get a backup of your data in the cloud. This of course is this system's weakness as well: a third party has a copy of your data, unless you're willing to run your own server[3].

About synchronisation: Evolution and a Nokia E61 - Lukas

Might not be of a lot of help to you, but with debian sid, multisync0.90 (which is actually 0.92) I can happily synchronise contacts and calendar (!) between my new E71 and evolution - back and forth, regardless of where I changed something. I found that quite impressive, as my last syncing experiences were a few years ago and not so impressive.

Next time, pick a better distribution.

I have no personal experience with Ubuntu, but from the pleas for help and so forth I've seen on IRC and mailing lists, Ubuntu's opensync packaging experience seems to be...not good.

I maintain the Mandriva synchronization stuff, and I wrote the Wiki page too. The instructions on there are tested to work correctly, using a Nokia 6300 as a test device.

Elisa 0.5 ramping up! - tretle

Pigment + GTK == Live effects on HD videos - Zaheer Merali

The screencast is awesome! Pigment seems to be going far, hope to be doing some dvb demos with it soon!

Elisa Media Center 0.3.3 released! - Dylan McCall

Dylan McCall — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 18:01:08 +0100

Looks really good. A tad Apple-esque, but I'll let that pass... Someone needs to invent a cover-flow killer, then we will be safe :P
Possibly if the blue glows in the default theme were replaced with a different colour (white?), it would look less like Front Row.

UI is definitely not slow for me. In fact, I find it way faster than before! Finding a Shoutcast station seems to have improved drastically.

I noticed that it is really difficult (nay: Impossible?!) to get back to the controls for music that is playing if I start viewing pictures. I think there should be a Now Playing UI somewhere, possibly with an extra item in the main menu.

Looks very good. Congratulations to the team.

The new screenshots look a lot nicer than the last interface (which was terribly cumbersome to navigate when you have more than a few files) - I hope my 'humble' P4 2.4ghz/GF5200 media box can keep up with it now

OMG, UI is slower than ever. And ugly.

I like more the old, simplicity-focused UI.

Hmmm... I hope LIRC works like it worked in 0.3.2...

Elisa Media Center 0.3.3 released! - Jon

This is a great improvement, support for the apple remote would be great but this is a great release. I can now play my theora video files and flac music files. The UI is also much improved.

One suggestion with the key bindings - perhaps tab could be used to navugate through the different options. I used it and expected it to work - this is the default behaviour in most applications. Also perhaps the escpace key could be used to go back, and finally quit when its pressed at the mian screen?

Awesome! As soon as this gets PVR capabilities, I'm switching my MythTV box to be an Elisa box.
