Hi,
I am happy about the encouraging response from all of you. I am going to apply
for a Devroom in 2012.
Here is my draft for the application for the Devroom (until now a copy from
what I filed last year):
World of GNUstep - a collaboration of open Objective-C based projects
participating projects:
- GNUstep
GNUstep is a free, object-oriented, cross-platform, OpenStep/Cocoa API
compatible framework and development environment written in Objective-C
- Ãtoilé
Ãtoilé is an innovative GNUstep based user environment designed from
the ground up around the things people do with computers: create, collaborate,
and learn.
- GAP - the GNUstep Application Project
The GNUstep Application Project provides a comprehensive set of
administration and user level tools to make using GNUstep based environments a
very pleasant experience. Part of the charter of this project is not only to
write new tools, but also to port existing NeXTSTEP/OPENSTEP/Cocoa applications
to GNUstep as well.
- QuantumSTEP / mySTEP
QuantumSTEP is a Mac-like Application Platform that can be installed on
existing mobile Linux devices (Openmoko, Zaurus, Letux, ...) aiming at highest
level of useage, data and application source code compatibility (to the
Macintosh platform) prepared for perfect data exchange and sync.
goals:
- teach interested developers how to write cross platform applications or port
Cocoa applications to Linux BSD and Windows using GNUstep
- share news about the latest development and plans on GNUstep
- improve collaboration between the several GNUstep related projects
- using GNUstep to write applications for mobile devices ((e.g. Openmoko,
Beagleboard)
- code sprints, hacking, discussing

Objective-C, the principal language of GNUstep, is currently the fastest
growing programming language according to
http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/content/paperinfo/tpci/index.html
GNUstep has the pivotal role of offering a free implementation of the
Objective-C de-facto standard framework "OpenStep" (now Cocoa). It enables
thereby free and open source application and framework development while
maintaining compatibility to recognized industrial solutions.
GNUstep continues to support modern Cocoa features, including Objective-C 2.0
with the aid of the GNUstep Objective-C runtime, which supports a number of
features not found in the Apple implementation.
GNUstep is a good match for FOSDEM since the target audience of GNUstep is
developers who want to develop cross platform (Unix, Windows, Mac) GUI or
server side applications or command line tools using state of the art object
oriented Frameworks.
Since I considering it lame to submit the same filing again I am looking for
fresh input from you. Especially for the last part where I try to substantiate
the reasons for a GNUstep Devroom. I am currently somewhat out of new ideas
what to write.
Also I'd need an update about what is new in the respective projects (GNUstep,
Étoilé, GAP, QuantumSTEP / mySTEP), for instance for QuantumSTEP / mySTEP
whether Openmoko, Zaurus, Letux, Beagleboard are still in the focus and so on.
Please drop me some lines!
cheers,
Lars_______________________________________________
