Coder's Log

Jeff explained to me on IRC how the mention of Mono in my last blog entry the way I put it, gives people the impression that I implied mono has anything to do with the issue. I really didn't mean to imply that so I am very sorry for causing this confusion. Now that I am writing this , I will make it very clear for the record that I do not have anything against the mono project. Quite on the contrary, I am extremely impressed by this great project and the service it has done for the Free Software world. Microsoft supporting the development of a Free Software project , never thought we'll ever achieve this but Miguel and his great team of hackers have made that possible.

Time flies and it's already been a few days that I am back from Istanbul. It was a lot of fun. Great presentations, discussions and hacks in the mornings and Shisha and beer in the evenings. Had lots of discussion with a lot of people about GUPnP, how it can be used for UPnP integration in GNOME and what features they would like to see in gupnp-media-server. My talk went pretty well and this time the demo really did work on the wireless network available at that time. :) The only issue was that it was scheduled at the same time as the Lightning talks and because of that only a few (~10) people could attend. Talking of talks, my favorite was Michael's talk about Moonlight. There were many other nice talks as well like Quim's BoF , where he nicely explained Nokia's relationship with Open Source world in general and GNOME in specific, and OH people 's talk on Clutter and the cool new features in Clutter 0.8. There was a big debate going around on git vs bazaar. Alth
