I'm not sure what I'll talk about but there are various things (metamodel, documentation, theming, Eric's object merging etc.) that can be discussed. >> Otherwise I'd be interested to hear talks about: >> - CoreBase and CoreGraphics/Opal in GNUstep > > I think Stef, Gregory, and Eric are the best people to talk about this, and > I'm not sure if any of them are going to be there (Gregory and Eric aren't, > not sure about Stef - Stef, I actually have no idea which continent you're > on...). ok >> - DBusKit > > I poked DBUSKit a bit and it definitely looks like a thing that's worth > advertising and some demos.

Agreed. Having a talk about theming even if it's short sounds important, at least to show GNUstep is really motivated into supporting high-quality themes and integration in various environments. The DBusKit fits well in this perspective and the app example Niels wrote seemed pretty exciting to me. Few yours ago, I wrote some DBus code (using the basic C lib and the glib-based lib) and it wasn't a completely pleasant experience. >> - EtoileText (… I'm especially curious about the possibility to leverage >> OMeta to write the tree transform rules) >> - LanguageKit Progresses > > I could talk about either of these.

If I had to make a choice, I'd rather pick EtoileText since I know close to nothing about it. But that's my personal preference, I suppose people who attend to the talks might be more interested to hear about LanguageKit and recent progresses such as EScript. It's more trendy in a way ;-) Cheers, Quentin. _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
