Hey,
The next 7 days will be java-gnome week!
{Mumbles in the background . What's he smoking?}
There are lots and lots of people who lurk in the java-gnome community.
There are hackers old and new who have made contributions through the
years, and many more who have watched our progress with enthusiasm and
support. But we don't have any full time hackers devoted to the bindings
nor do we have a compelling set of projects which drive us to meat
release deadlines. It's easy to forget the thing we have in common and
certainly there are always other calls on our time.
But not next week!
Starting tomorrow we're going to shake the tree and beat the bushes and
see what we can scare up! That's right. Anything you've been thinking of
working on, NEXT WEEK IS YOUR WEEK. Patches, feature requests, helping
out new developers. Come one, come all, now's the time to get it in! For
the next 7 days we're all going to be rabidly enthusiastic and see what
we can achieve.
And at the end of the week we will release libgtk-java 2.8.3 (and any
other of our libraries that get some love)!
So drop by #java-gnome and say hello. Ask questions. Discuss on our
mailing lists. Update the wiki! Fix bugs. Clean up the example code.
Better yet, fire up your box, update your sources, and fix that little
thing that you've been meaning to do. Or if you're working on an
application that uses java-gnome, why don't you push out a release next
week and tell the world!
Me? I'm going to see if I can get a binding around gnome-applets going.
Anyone want to help?
...I'll see you 'round the net! And anyone who's going to be at
linux.conf.au in Dunedin, NZ next week, be sure to say hi...
