ubuntu booth and conferences at jdll 2016 The "Journée Du Logiciel Libre" are a very nice event in Lyon (France) over a full week-end where the public is invited to come, talk and assist conferences around free software. Of course, the Ubuntu-fr team is present and have a nice booth here. I'm also present and give a talk about snappy Ubuntu Core against a full attendance room! Followed by an hour workshop more focused on developers. 02 April 2016
Quickly reboot: Q&A sessions! The previous Quickly reboot session about templates was really instructive! It started a lot of really interesting and opened discussions, particularly on the Quickly talks mailing list where the activity is getting higher and higher. Do not hesitate to join the fun here. :) As usual, if you missed the on-air session, it's available here: I've also summarized the session note on the Quickly Reboot wiki page. Next session: Q&A! 14 August 2012
Quickly reboot: developer feedback wrap up and templates content Previous sessions The first two hangouts on Quickly reboot about developer feedback were really a blast! I’m really pleased about how much good ideas and questions emerged from those. If you missed them, the hangouts on air are available now on youtube. Go and watch them if you are interested: I’ve also taken some notes during the sessions, here are what I think was important and came from them: hangouts notes. 06 August 2012
Unity Radios lens for quantal After having worked on the local radio scope for the music lens, I spent some time with pure python3 code, which made me experiencing a bug in Dee with pygi and python3 (now all fixed in both precise and quantal) In addition to that, it was the good timing to experiment more seriously some mocking tool for testing the online part of the lens, and so I played with python3-mock, which is a really awesome library dedicated to that purpose[1]. 24 July 2012
Android ICS on wetab (exopc slate)! Spend few hours installing Android ICS (Cyanogenmod built for x86) on my exopc tablet and playing with it. I've never been impressed by Meego installed on it as a developer preview, performance and feature-wise. I've found yesterday evening those instructions and links about a corvusmod rebuild of cynagenmod and I gave it a try! Of course, as this is not an arm device but x86 one, not a lot of applications are working out of the box, but overall, the UI is totally functional and browsing the web is a delightful experience. 30 June 2012
Nautilus precise unity quicklist gets bookmarks! Flying back from Budapest, I hacked on a long-time awaited design whishlist: "Nautilus quicklist does not contain the locations previously found under the 'Places' menu.". This is about getting the Unity quicklist for the nautilus launcher icon to display the list of the user's bookmark. It was unexpecdictly more "fun" that what I thought it would be. Indeed, there is already one dynamic quicklist, appearing when you are making a copy operation which can take some time (when the copy dialog appears), giving the possibility to " 17 January 2012
UDS Oneiric : c'est demain ! Demain débutera l'UDS Oneiric. Pour rappel l'UDS[1] est le lieu de rendez-vous de toute la communauté afin de discuter, planifier, décider quelles nouvelles fonctionnalités et quelles décisions seront prises pour le prochain cycle de développement d'ubuntu. Dans ce cas, Ubuntu Oneirc Ocelot (qui sera la 11.10). Pour cette édition, nous sommes tous à Budapest, Hongrie afin de travailler dur, discuter, mais évidemment ne pas délaisser la partie festive de l'évènement (oui, la bière coule à flot tous les soirs). 08 May 2011
Media server sur ubuntu - srt et youtube: Freebox V6 - 0, PS3: 1 Étant l'heureux possesseur d'une freebox V6, et étant comme tout le monde en incapacité de lire les fichiers de sous-titre (srt), j'ai décidé ce week-end d'essayer de régler le problème (principalement pour la tranquilité du ménage ;)). Lire les fichiers srt Résumons, le protocole UPnP, utilisé entre la freebox server et le freebox player, ne permet pas de lire les fichiers srt (ce n'est tout simplement par suppporté par le protocole). 27 February 2011
