 Hello everybody, I know it's challenging after a serious party with a freak here. I'm happy that you made it anyway, regardless of what they must be. I'm Toby. Well, I'm from Gnome, and today I'm here to talk to you about Gnome. Not only Gnome 2, well, tell you things about Gnome 2, but Gnome is also one of the most interesting things about Gnome 2. It's much more interesting in a particular direction of what Gnome is, or what I'm going to say in the end. There's so many things potentially to tell about Gnome 2. So, in terms of any more specific question about Gnome 2, what I'm not necessarily going to explain, Gnome 3.12 has been the latest release, and with Gnome 3 we stirred things up a bit. So, there's new design, new ways of users interacting with computers, that's hard. And I want to talk briefly about why we think that was necessary, and what we think is a good thing. Yeah, eventually, if you happen to like or see, you may very well, in case you migrate your desktop from, say, Microsoft Office to Debra Office, you might as well migrate your desktop, and no one will be able to come up. So, you can ask the very last question, what is Gnome? Yeah, I don't know. Actually, I want to ask you, what is Gnome? Anybody have an idea? For me, it's a desktop environment. And it's Gnome, right? That is probably the most popular thing that people see in Gnome, or in Gnome, in the name of Gnome. What else? Some kind of, you know, not only desktop environment, in the sense of what you see by default, but some more sensitive applications. Right, certainly. Certainly, yes. But this still, the applications within Gnome, Gnome is the best of the line, it's also applications, I just have an application on the video table, or a web browser and all that. And these applications, hopefully, you can use these applications hopefully in a very coherent way, in the sense that, you can perform similar actions similarly, and there's a very similar mindset to these things. So there's a, we do have, well, application, design guidelines of some sort, so you're writing a Gnome application, and you're supposed to adhere to these guidelines, and try to give the whole free software that's of a coherent working team, sort of. Anything else? Any ideas as to what Gnome is? The software side. So, yeah, that's correct, the software side. So if you were to give us a moment with several applications, where it's actually a whole stack, where you can build your application on to Gnome, in the bottom, if you want to, well, frame that, or it's a set of libraries, a runtime that would make, you know, a whole stack of libraries to make life, well, your life as an application, that would be easier, hopefully. And certainly, yes. So you can use Gnome to develop your application, and you can use it as a Gnome line. And that's correct, right? I just asked what Gnome is, and now I'm asking you. No, no, no. I'm not Gnome. These are very good. Gnome is also an ADO framework, some sort, we have a foundation, that might be a sponge on Gnome project, and for other products. And here's that, well, the next few more of these days, the fourth organization is that we have no funds for. We're going to move on. So the prime time is probably the ADO-W, the ADO is probably the one, and there's others like PD, and possibly other, there's a tiny number of organizations that we have no funds for. So this is also not, all right? We have this entity in the US, a foundation, basically all the money for us. So none of these things, but certainly the Decisive Violence Deceptive Program is the most popular thing that people, well, would name, if they're going to name Gnome, if they're going to tell Gnome. And there was this major release, I've mentioned that briefly, which is a certain supplement to the initial release of 3.0. And now this reach 3.12, which is already, well, it has been a while since the initial release, so things have changed, and we have also changed our, well, view of different things. So if you just like going to be quite old, the initial thing, because, well, it's generally because I'm so impressed with my age as well, you might very well try the most recent release, 3.12, and I'll try to tell you why it is. But before I give up, I want to, well, briefly go over certain elements of Gnome, you know, as an environment, which we think has been inherent in the design of the whole thing. And what people, what I think people notice that they, well, open the Gnome 3.12 environment for the first time is an elegant design, elegant being not exclusive, enabling you, which wants to not having, well, extraneous items or witches or anything that would distract you. And in this case, this web browser is probably what most people realize, right, they fire up their machine and they open that browser. And I think there's a metric time to Facebook, which is the relevant measure of how fast the machine moves. That's not only the locking mechanism, it's not important, but it's important to mention the technology. So this is our browsing session that looked like, not so many batches or sorts of things. If you want them, here's your project and you get all of it. But the things we try to deliver to users is a playing system that I love. Another way to play is what we call the activity zone view, as what should you use when you want to start an application, but you can also, you also might be willing to find a guest of the environment, what would you define as a good one. It's certainly the way how to start an application and how to manage an application. And this is the known way of doing that. And, well, we see you're running it off, you have these the virtual desks, which many people love and many people hate. Yeah, well, again, drag it over your nose and close them and search for applications and start them. And there's also, well, back in the day we were going to find all those reasons. This was a new thing where people were thinking that it probably shouldn't be now and then. Another major thing people have is their applications rather small compared to what we used to have back in the day. And still the same scheme, all of that. People with applications already have well, not fall out of it. But it still needs to improve a lot because technically this hasn't changed at all actually. It's still the very same application mechanism we use to try to afford it. We consider this worthy of improvement. And we're working on it. So this is an application, you can interact with it. You can hit the button accidentally instead of the space button. And then what? All right, this is an application. You can interact with these applications with some of them at least. So you can hopefully do your work without being distracted all the time. This is a general theme that goes through the whole staff that tries to help you to do your work without so much distraction. And there's a document device that you can do here at the LibraWords program. There's a document preview that you can publish part of the whole LibraWords program to try to date and just select pretty much any file that will be in the LibraWords because it's very small and you can clean it. And you can now get a jm. Actually you can do a full pane in this for sure. And then another well, major thing is the search. We have a powerful search mechanism and it is in science schools and you can not only search your programs, your files, your media, you can search contacts, and kind of like creating moments just a button away, just the super key to get to the activities overview and then you can get out of there. And this is our main page, right? Just to mention that you should just know what people would notice when they open it. But you know, we're trying to provide a very useful part and back in the day it used to be linear, you would read from top to bottom, from front to back and we're trying to reorganize, re-structure the main page and actually make use of it. So this is all what you see if you want to well, do more things you know, you want to develop your vision and you have to have a powerful set of libraries on offer for those things if you already thought about it. We have quite good show libraries, some of the most popular, many of these libraries from pretty much any language in Latin. Now the technology, the logic of abstraction, and it gives us to deliver well, high quality bindings to pretty much any language that's quite good. And it's also, people say what people tend to say now is that we're all wrong but we keep saying, and there's some truth to it it's a very powerful stack and they're doing a great work. As far as I'm concerned I'm a Python, or I like to develop a Python, and if you're Python I think you've all seen it for a short while. And with the technology of the respective libraries you can use them like library and it's great. Now we have introduced JavaScript to the mess-up and here's this steaming hoping that it will attract more people because apparently it's a popular thing to do now JavaScript and CSS and CC and now we kind of have we hope that it will attract people. And what people are concerned with is the example of all that because this is all too human and too shiny people don't like change, so I want to have the old experience and they don't want to re-adapt the ideas of how to integrate it into the world with that computer. So there's a lot for these people. It used to be called follow-up which was basically old libraries shipped together in a new team and now we have the four new technologies but laid out in a way that it looks and behaves just like the old desktop. So we're in all parts and we like these the way things have worked for the last 20 years or so and we might try the follow-up, which is now called flashback I think. It's also about fancy and made. It must be good for you. If you want to try it, there is a motion machine, sensitive images for download on the new website or the FTP server. There's there's a lot to do about all the FTP servers and all. There's several motion machines. I think even 3DSC with the fancy one looks exotic or more exotic already. Then if you even try it, it's really on if you don't like what you see, what you see and it just might be the case then you might want to change things, you might want to well, I don't know make it to behave differently from what it would be for then you can still well still change it all. It's not that anything would be hard for it or that you would not be able to change it but you don't necessarily have an official bot on all of that like the font size. We don't offer a bot for changing the font size and that's the reason why my father when I installed him, he liked what he does. He takes everything just to check what will happen and then some said he found that font setting bot in the number 2 days and he set his font size to 0 and then everything was gone and there was no way of going back and these things happen it's kind of stupid and sensitive but it does happen so you don't get a lot of trouble but the trick tool you can go on there's a tool with a whole set of tabs that you can change pretty much anything and if that doesn't pull your boat then there's extension there's over 1,000 extensions people have voted to do no show and there's a website, extension.node.org and it integrates with your browser extension to the tick of a button it's really cool and you haven't tried it out but people are trying it out it's great technology I mentioned that briefly as the release of the 3.4 was in 2011 I think it was in 2018 we had also a we had our annual content see why it's in various places so we wrote and that's the quality but it's a very long event and then it's time to come so it's my point shall be that it's not the it's not just a fact that should be my point people have thought about this for quite a while and I think it only extends if you start getting into a scope I'll think it's our thought that they should be the release is not a fine sensory experience we're fine and low-paying constantly and we're discussing ideas and we're discussing how things you think should work for example, modification store needs to change how you make that last you might be interested in the release schedule because you're integrating things well delivering to other people that you might want to know when to take updates and you can tell you pretty exactly when that will be this is our release history and you see over the last 10 plus years we have released pretty much every half year I think this is quite impressive especially over the last long run it's quite safe right it's a very safe fact and you say oh well and you release that that means that 6 months have passed this shall not be or this is not the most exciting news and we actually don't want to release just because in 6 months it would be even too boring what we do have is a sort of play release plan a feature plan features that we want to release we try hard to get these features done in time for the release you might actually extend the release if the features are not as matured as we want them to be so it's a kind of a mixed bag of release it's certainly time based but it also has elements of feature based because we all have a review of blocker bugs that we block the release and then we're trying to very hard to address these bugs which is totally important is what we make so guys I've realized I can't do my jobs in March so this is a lot like a couple of months it has been a couple of months and because I've talked for so long now I will be happy to be here welcome to the release 312 brings speed for starters, no shell loads faster than these security resources which is great because it allows your computer to focus on what is most important application this release also brings improvements to many applications as well as a new way to organize your apps the custom application folder which will be going easily with many new exciting features many applications are now shooting screenshots and star rates which gave you a good overview of the variety of your search results it's now also possible to change software sources update manually and search the increased performance along with many other improvements 312 also brings a new G edit with an overhaul user interface the new minimalistic user interface helps you focus on the target and error with all the features you need in the text editor video is a similar looking new face along with new features through videos it is now possible to browse your local library and watch videos when you play that video also, browsing through streaming videos from a number of web services is now possible directly from the new slick user interface with web, browsing content on the internet is now also possible much more elementally finding a website you visited before finding content to your computer has aesthetically improved to enhance your experience without getting in the way of your work in this release, there are also a few totally new applications sound recorder is now here to be your audio recording me while logs helps you monitor the state of your computer via the system d-journal all this and many more updates have happened to applications all part of the 312 release the end of the good effort of making no shell run natively at waylon continues for the present, primary functionality display configuration and color management are implemented and included in the waylon preview ship with phenomena for future releases, work is currently being done to better support different types of input with work support and starting notifications for developers we have quite a lot of updates as well the no 312 includes many improvements that will make it easier to integrate your app with phenomena other desktop environments improvements have been made to various APIs primarily the g sub cross which has become a lot more powerful and genification which has received a whole new API for desktop notification support gtk 3 has also received new components such as the gtk flow box gtk action bar and gtk popover these will give you new possibilities for creating a great user experience and make your app not much more awesome alongside the new internal changes the documentation that you rely on has also received an overhaul in look as well as in content these changes aim at increasing your productivity just like a new search provider for your favorite terminal commands overall no 312 brings a lot of exciting features to the table once again improving our favorite desktop environment and everything that comes with it if you want to be a part of our efforts for its known, join us here we look forward to helping you get started my name is Karen Salin and thanks for watching my title is contribution from a rather new platform in the community I think it's really cool so I was going to talk about the next release this is the some stats the browser the browser community is also very big this might not be yet the browser team as I mentioned it would be probably the best release trial if you haven't liked the 3.0 release and it's not only me saying that because I'm biased it's also other people and the media who are responding positively to other releases it's also not very common to say that we have so many well, news sites if you want to show that responses positively so 3.12 certainly is a very good release and it's very polished and it's probably best memories so so what have we found in the future and there are several things among them using system data in sessions that we can get rid of more cold on the outside and well burdened but burdened is done only by the lower side the front part there is some role to try to be on the leading side when it comes to accessibility who wasn't able or wants to create free computing just as many people as possible including those who are not necessarily able to see or interact with the computer in the way we really use students we're probably thinking probably the first anywhere which again or further leading in the area of accessibility because as far as I'm aware there's not a subtle solution that allows you to colour tint it helps people with the red green and how to colour insufficiency changing the whole screen in some colour colours thanks for the area as far as I'm aware normally than further in the area in the area of accessibility and for all the other people there is some what about the Simra application right yeah I'm sorry I'm skipping through things but let's go I said something like please engage me in this question I was just roughing because of the time the one I was most curious that's a lot of noise so the idea is to have more can be needed or children have a good story and more a group of people at least the folks yeah I think they're a really good job it's just an asset to the three people now that's why not so many but I think they want to change great Simra into the next brilliant let's hope it will get out to the great people good people and as I said we have this lovely conference every year and next year we'll be in Gothenburg Sweden in summer I hope it will be very good and as I said I've only invited you to come to that conference if you want to see more talk more about it I have more many more slides I know that I was going to talk about it but I'll just skip right to the end and I'll say thank you very much this is the list of this is a couple of years ago this is a couple of years ago in case you're interested in engaging more in the global community I thank you very much and I love the conference I'm going to ask you the question did you have a question that was not very possible we'll start with the the question is your question concerned with running a G2K2 application and a G2K3 application in North Korea should what just like that obviously you don't have the new APIs from the new G2K so if you look at the features for example there's a G application now for G2K so you can make it much more easy to define your application to integrate that on the desktop in the sense that you could define actions it doesn't make sense right now because it's a long story and you don't get these features that's the pity but it's still wrong but flawlessly say it again I thank you very much again thank you
