Re: Question to GNOME Foundation Board candidates

You're right John, and some others have pointed out, that we should act by
offer blogs, news and any other difussion we have access too, to promote
GNOME, GTK+ apps and all its goodness; this is the right way.

I love, to see more actions from GNOME Foundation to support, by
contracting people making real interview to GNOME projects maintainers,
point out and highlight how their work will help GNOME to be better Desktop
for every one.

Question to GNOME Foundation Board candidates

2016-05-23 Thread Daniel Espinosa 
Recently has been a campaign to expose GNOME weakness, like:

* GTK+ is C and ugly
* Bugzilla is old and user unfriendly
* Developers don't here suggestions from users
* No apps for GNOME/GTK+

This is a short list of thinks I heart, no my opinions.

As Foundation Bouard Member:

** How do you address negative campaigns from *users*? There are a response
on blog.gtk.org, but developer oriented not user oriented, then there are
few diffussion about GNOME technologies goodness and use in other projects
(including KDE).

** Are you planning to produce a "User Experience Road Map" for GNOME? In
order to help users see how they will be beneficied with GNOME's
infraestructure and/or libraries. I mean, how, for example, Gtk+ changes
and roadmap, is going to help users to get the best of their favorite
Desktop Environment.

** Are you planning to involve GNOME Foundation or sign an alliance with
other non-profit organization, in order to support developers fixing users
requested bugs/wish lists/fix beheavoir of GNOME related projects? Check at

Your right Alberto.

Is very important to check out how to invite him to help not just blame.
I'd made when possible, but no pro-active actions back from him.

And yes, any action should be on get better understand about GNOME's
philosophy on community and user feedback.

May offer alternative sites, where GNOME Board and maintainers, can post or
discuss complaints and as a source of information to clarify some points or
just to help any to highlight issues on actions taken or to allow any one
to support any discussion against blames, specially if they're unsupported.

Many thanks for your response, but what about site:

http://worldofgnome.org/

This is the site it used be post news to GNOME and the way it is known as
World of GNOME, while using no reference in its logo, it is in its source
name and web page.

Now it is posting just as WOGUE on G+, but is known as World of GNOME.

What about worldofgnome.org?

Is not a matter to get it down with a demand. GNOME Foundation have better
things to invest to, but what about to work with it/he/she in order to
change ideas and the way they are exposed, making then informed and good
supported?

Having 8k followers and blaming is negative to the project. While some
issues pointed are partially true, some of them are no supported by good
sources or investigation.

Is better to act with care and work around.

GNOME trademark authorization

2016-05-16 Thread Daniel Espinosa 
How to avoid any organization or individual, could use GNOME trademark to
promote against GNOME?

Is the case of World of GNOME (WOGUE on G+). It recently has pushed
blaming, unsupported complaints (no data about his source is based on real
data from projects maintainers).

While I'm not against he can publish his complaints on GNOME, I think he
can't use GNOME trademark to push negative, or few news to try to support
its negative ideas about GNOME.

Sure, feedback is good, but while he is not part of GNOME Foundation, I
think, may he is unable to use GNOME trademark to blame and no positive
actions to help.

 I've made some patches to update the Gnome Nanny project (portage to

I think you can contact any developer with write access to the project
repository to push your changes. Talk with him/her in order to know how to
proceed.

Other option is to file bugs in bugzilla and try to contact any other to
review your code.

  Hi all,
 
  I tried to contact the Gnome Nanny developpers, but I had no answer. I
 also tried to ask on gnome-devel some news about the project, but my email
 is waiting for approval since November 8th...
  So I ask here...
 
  I've made some patches to update the Gnome Nanny project (portage to
 python 2.7 and GTK3). How can I make this project restart ?
 

 I think you can contact any developer with write access to the project
 repository to push your changes. Talk with him/her in order to know how to
 proceed.

 Other option is to file bugs in bugzilla and try to contact any other to
 review your code.

 
  Regards,

Re: GNOME now

2012-11-14 Thread Daniel Espinosa 
Lets Call all questions as:

[1] Where’s the product going?
[2] What problem are we trying to solve?
[3] How are we going to do that?

Then lets answer as my ones:

[1] Merge Mobility user interface with the desktop. Making Easy and
Productivity to your work and life style. Create a productive platform for
your creativity.
[2] Keep you getting things done, productive and in contact with your live.
Empower creativity people to produce solutions.
[3] Know our users, take care about details, deep user interface testing,
empower our user interface to getting things done through easy to use jet
productive user interface

Note. First part of all sentences points to user experience, while the last
points to creative people (developers, designers, QAers)

 Quoting Stormy Peters comment on a recent blog post concerning GNOME:
  We haven’t shared our vision or our roadmap for the future. Where’s
 the product going? What problem are we trying to solve? How are we
 going to do that?

 Good question.
 As a member of the board of directors I can't really answer this
 question at the moment either, without having to organize my thoughts.
 So many different point of views and ideas in the community that are
 not well discussed. The first thing that pops up in my head is GNOME
 OS. But then I am kinda lost. Maybe this is something we need to
 discuss here on the mailing list.
 Lets try to answer those 3 questions. What about one sentence per
 question for a start?
 I am avoiding a blog post since I am not sure its the best way to
 reach most of our contributors.

 Cheers
 Seif

Fwd: GNOME Foundation Membership - Accepted

2012-02-24 Thread Daniel Espinosa 
Find attached an introduction for my self to GNOME Foundation Membership.

I found my welcome at:

http://www.gnome.org/news/2012/02/welcome-to-more-new-gnome-foundation-members/

But please consider to clarify my description as LIBGDA's maintainer. The
formal maintainer is Vivien Malerba. I'm the maintainer of GObject
Introspection and Vala support for GDA; most of my contributions goes to
add bindings (GI) friendly API and some bugfixing on GDA to make it works
great! to be used in other languages through GI. Now I'm developing some
extensions to GDA written in Vala, expecting to be useful for any one using
C and any other languages with GI support.

I really thanks for this distinction. I've been a GNOME enthusiasts from
its early 1.x versions, but a real user since 2.x era. I've joined GNOME
fan due to its philosophy and the way it is conducted by all its early and
new developers.

In 1998 a took the adventure to use just GNOME as my full time desktop,
trying to use StarOffice since to do my work dominated by Microsoft
technologies; thanks to projects like Wine and CodeWeavers, I had been able
to use MS Office to work on, that was the great step forward to use GNOME
full time. At that time the killer feature of GNOME, some other
free-desktops, the ability to have more than one desktop empower my
productivity, allowing me to work with my work in different tasks and
develop software, by quickly switching to related applications I have to
use. I missed that productivity in GNOME 3 though, I hope 3.4 comes with
good news - filed bug
651022https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=651022and helping
on
*648994* https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=648994 .

I've developed some PHP/PostgreSQL/Apache document management system to
help me at work. Here was when I joined GNOME Data Access library and start
to help them with improvements like port from custom generic data handler
GdaValue to GValue with the objective to get access to C#/Mono technology
and improve my database/web software, but that never happends and now
Mono/Gtk+ bridge seems to be broken for me because they have unable to sync
with Gtk+ improvements.

GDA and GNOME way to get thinks done, has inspired me to get more
improvements in the way I conduct my innovations at work, by
changing/adapting my self and co-workers (when they are ready to change) to
new horizons and new technologies, like adopting IEC 61850 as the base
technology for Substation Automation Systems. Then I took the oportunity to
be the CEO like of new open source software, unique in an industry
dominated by propietary solutions, called OpenSCLConfigurator and my own
development OpenSASConfigurator to edit XML documents based on IEC 61850-6
Substation Configuration Language[1]. I started to help GXml to support
Autotools and see if I can add GObject serialization to XML and use it in
OpenSCL library to read/write SCL files to drop C#/Mono dependency and
bring Gtk+ 3.x to my applications.

In all my efforts for innovations at my work, I've tried to help GNOME in
translations; some time ago a group of enthusiasts founded www.lenmex.org,
a dead effort to get GNOME to Mexican endemic languages like Nahuatl - if
you found some translations on it I made them, just using a Spanish/Nahuatl
dictionary-, but never get support for native speekers. At the same time I
fire some suggestions on Pootle to get support to show two languages in its
translation interface, in this case because most of potential translators
can use Spanish but not English.

Today I'm trying to help GDA to support GObject Introspection (GI) and
create the best platform to develop Database Access software, by improving
API and make it bindings friendly; I love if GDA gets easy and feature rich
a la Django framework, but for any language.

I'm adding new ways to access databases using Vala, by GDA's
vala-extensions and implementing Gee interfaces collections. In the middle
I found lots of opportunities to improve GDA's API to make it bindings
friendly, by adding GI annotations and patching VAPI bindings generation.

At my work, I'm pushing to use Open Source Software as the investment
protection technology for critical applications and the base for new
developments for international standards. When possible and when other are
ready to hear, I made elitism to choose open source solutions and
distribute news about governments adopting them to ask: Can we do it too?

I used to help GnuCash to improve it and port to GObject, but found my self
not productive, then I've desided to start a new library called libcash at
SourceForge, but I want to re-write it using Vala to speed up its
development. May be in the feature it can be used as a GNOME 3 application
to manage your money.
