100 days until FOSDEM
and only 25 days until the deadline for dev-room applications: 2009-11-22. As I already mentioned, the FOSDEM greatly favors joint applications of cooperating projects. Here's a quote from their website: "Our goal is to stimulate developer collaboration and cross- pollination between projects, and as such we strongly favor projects with similar goals and domains to host a devroom together." So we were right on track with our joint application of GNUstep, Étoilé and OpenGroupware.org last year. But currently we have just two projects which committed to come GNUstep and Étoilé. Helge (of OpenGroupware.org) is currently not sure if he will make it (and it seems to depend a little bit on the fact if the scalable OGo folks will be there). So to increase our chances to get a dev-room I am asking: does somebody know other projects we could invite for a collaboration? Is somebody in contact with those people?

Helge, because I asume you know the Inverse/SOGo people personally, could you ask them if they're interested in a joint dev-room application for FOSDEM? CC me on that mail please.

New Windows System Installer
I have a new system installer for Windows: http://ftpmain.gnustep.org/pub/gnustep/binaries/windows/gnustep-system-0.24.0-setup.exe This includes all new MingW libraries, GCC 4.4, and the pthreads library. If your interested in trying out the latest GNUstep SVN code on Windows, your can use this. I don't have a new core installer though - I'll probably wait for the next release of the GNUstep libraries for that. ___ Discuss-gnustep mailing list Discuss-gnustep@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
deprecation of ColorSchemes preference module
Hi all, with the development of Themes, ColorSchemes are a bit obsolete: A theme contains all the color specifications a COlorScheme can do and much more. Of course color schemes continue to work and be available. Currently ColorSchemes can be managed with the ColorSchemes module in SystemPreferences (or by the equivalent module of the Preferences app in Backbone). I am creating right these days a new Module for SystemPreferences which allows the managment of installed Themes. It works like the current theme selection scheme which is per-application in the Info Panel, but in this case the module writes in the global domain. Essentially it is a user-friendly way to set "NSGlobalDomain GSTheme myTheme". I think this is truly needed for user-friendlyness in a GNustep workspace. Now I think that the color schemes module is obsolete and superseded and that having both causes confusion. I propose do deprecate it, that is, leave it there, but just don't build it and install it by default when building SystemPreferences and build+install the Themes one instead. What do you think of that? Riccardo ___ Discuss-gnustep mailing list Discuss-gnustep@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
