- Arvin Schnell: Graph of Storage Devices
"With openSUSE 11.1 on the road we developers can use some time for new ideas. One idea on my mind for month was to show the dependencies of storage devices in a graph. Using graphviz and QGraphicsScene a first version was running within few days."
- Andrew Wafaa: The big belgian meetup
"Yes people I'm going to FOSDEM (again) :-) I've booked my ferry crossing from Blighty to France and hope to have a pleasant drive over to Brussels. As I mentioned previously I am planning on doing a bit more "Marketing" type pieces; mainly getting my camcorder out for "Face 2 Face @ FOSDEM", this will basically entail me shoving my camcorder in people's faces, asking a few questions etc."
- Andreas Schneider: Geocaching, Garmin and Linux
"I’m a Geocacher and I’ve bought a new toy, the Garmin Vista HCx. This device has a special function for Geocaching. You have to upload these files directly to the device. It isn’t possible to store them on the microSD."
- Klaus Kämpf: About memory ownership in SWIG and Python
"Today, a long-standing bug in libyui-bindings was finally fixed. libyui-bindings provides SWIG based bindings for Ruby, Python and Perl to access libyui functionality. libyui is the YaST user interface library, allowing to write dialogs in a generic way so they can be displayed in text (ncurses) or graphical (Qt) environments."
- Jeff Jaffe: Novell’s 2009 Technical Strategy and Process
"In my last blog, I began to outline four aspects of how we achieve our strategy and long-term roadmap. The four areas were: 1.) Leadership. Why our products lead the industry. 2.) Delivery. In the “engine room”—how we build those products, what processes result in leadership, and our commitment to interoperability as a design point in every product. 3.) Incubation. How we take breakout ideas and make them into businesses. 4.) Strategy and Vision. Fossa, our overarching technical strategy. Novell is an industry leader in next generation technologies and standards."
