+  recently in the world of the Linux distribution 'Frugalware'.</p>
+

+
+  <h2><img src="http://frugalware.org/images/newsletter/event.png"; align=
+  "left">Events etc</h2>
+
+  <p>Here's a selection of recent events and other items that you might find
+  interesting:</p>
+
+  <h3>Turkish translations are in progress</h3>
+
+  <p>Frugalware user Tutku has been very busy recently, translating many of
+  Frugalware's projects, including the installer, Fwife and Gfpm. The speed at
+  which he has been working is simply amazing. It seemed that he requested
+  access to <a href="http://pootle.frugalware.org/";>Pootle</a> one day and the
+  very next day was announcing that he had finished! This is not Tutku's first
+  translation work for Frugalware. In fact he's been providing Turkish
+  translations for about one year. Many thanks to Tutku because his work makes
+  Frugalware accessible to more people and that's good for everyone.</p>
+
+  <h3>Default wallpaper for Frugalware 1.3</h3>
+
+  <p>The default wallpaper for Frugalware 1.3 has been chosen and the winner
+  was...Webeagle! Congratulations to him because it looks simply amazing. For
+  this release we had the most number of entries ever received - 22 - so
+  thankyou to everyone who submitted an entry. We <strong>really</strong>
+  appreciate all your hard work. The frugalware-backgrounds-extra package has
+  been updated so if you install it you can see every wallpaper ever submitted
+  as an official wallpaper.</p>
+
+  <h3>Wanted! New homes for packages</h3>
+
+  <p>Every Frugalware has a maintainer, someone who is responsible for keeping
+  the package up to date and fixing any bugs which are reported. Sometimes
+  people can no longer maintain their packages, either temporarily or
+  permanently and so others need to take them on. Developer Devil505 recently
+  produced a list of packages which need new maintainers and the developers are
+  currently working through the list. I'm not sure what happens if we get near
+  the end of the list and only ugly ones are left. We might have to run a
+  lottery. Maybe we could wait for a new developer and give them a "To Do" list
+  on their first day? :P</p>
+
+  <h3>Frugalware - The Game!</h3>
+
+  <p>Computer games, whether played on consoles or PCs, are very popular in
+  modern society. What if just a small fraction of the many millions of people
+  who play games were introduced to what it's like to be a Frugalware
+  developer? The future of Frugalware would be guaranteed, and that's the
+  reason behind the development of "Frugalware - The Game!" In the style of
+  "Little Big Planet", players will progress through the game if they can
+  successfully package applications. They will have to search for and find the
+  various dependencies, then submit their FrugalBuild to the buildbot. If they
+  have been successful, they may gain points, which could allow them to advance
+  to the next level. Bugs will be represented by real bugs and players will
+  have to squash them as quickly as they can. If there are too many bugs they
+  may attack the player, harming their health or possibly killing them. Missing
+  dependencies or incorrect dependencies will also cost the player health
+  points. All packages created by a player in a level have to be maintained by
+  them until they advance to the next level. At each level the packages to be
+  maintained will become more difficult. I can't reveal what is waiting for the
+  player when they complete the game, but it's definitely a prize worth
+  winning!</p>
+

+  <h2><img src="http://frugalware.org/images/newsletter/community.png"; align=
+  "left">FLOSS developers are people too</h2>
+
+  <p>Without developers, we wouldn't have the Linux kernel and all the software
+  that we run on the platform. What motivates FLOSS developers? Why does anyone
+  choose to spend their time writing software when they don't get paid to do
+  so? What do developers do when they're not writing software? These questions
+  and more are the inspiration behind this new section of the newsletter. Many
+  thanks to all the developers who have agreed to this interview.</p>
+
+  <p>This issue, we have an interview with Daniel G. Taylor, developer of
+  Arista Transcoder (amongst many other things, as you'll read).</p>
+
+  <dl>
+    <dt><strong>What FLOSS projects are you involved in?</strong></dt>
+
+    <dd>
+      <p>I am or have been involved with Gentoo's Portage package management
+      system, the Gentoo Porthole GUI, Imendio's Gossip instant messenger and
+      BLAM! feed reader, Novell's compiz, GNOME-MUD, FFmpeg, GStreamer, Arista
+      Transcoder, the most-used Paypal integration module for Django, the
+      Braintree python library, the Common Component Architecture used in U.S.
+      Department of Energy research laboratories, Simple Stats for tracking
+      video engagement statistics on the web, an IBM 650 emulator, a keyboard
+      and mouse status monitor used in many screencast tutorials, and many more
+      on my website, github, etc.</p>
+    </dd>
+
+    <dt><strong>What led to you being a FLOSS
+    developer/contributor?</strong></dt>
+
+    <dd>
+      <p>I love to tinker. I started learning Visual Basic (boo, hiss) way back
+      when a friend sent me a how-to book and a CD with Microsoft Visual
+      Studio. I started to teach myself C. In school, I started taking C++
+      classes. I started to follow Linux, GNOME, and the entire FLOSS movement
+      as a whole, and became obsessed with the idea of thousands of people
+      around the world working in their spare time doing what they love to
+      create something amazing, rivaling products created by industry-leading
+      corporations.</p>
+
+      <p>I started to hang out on IRC and mailing lists, and taught myself PHP,
+      Python, and eventually Ruby. It wasn't until much later that I was a very
+      good C coder. At the university I attended I studied theoretical computer
+      science and psychology, and most of my professors allowed me to do my
+      school work whichever language I choose. I chose Python, and started to
+      contribute to various projects I could find with artwork, documentation,
+      and eventually small snippets of code or bug reports.</p>
+
+      <p>After a while I decided to create my own first big project, and wound
+      up working with a few others to make a graphical Python application using
+      GTK+. It was my first introduction to working on a real team, code
+      revision systems, mailing lists, etc. Since then I haven't looked
+      back.</p>
+    </dd>
+
+    <dt><strong>Why did you create the Arista Transcoder?</strong></dt>
+
+    <dd>
+      <p>I was trying to create a proof-of-concept for a user-friendly desktop
+      transcoder that people would actually want to use. The goal was to remove
+      all the complexity from media conversion, provide live feedback about
+      what is going on, and to do so without really knowing many of the
+      technologies I was about to make use of. I already knew Python and had
+      done some GTK+ work, so I learned DBus+HAL, GStreamer, gettext,
+      lower-level GDK stuff, how to build custom GTK+ widgets, eventually udev,
+      desktop notifications, and more. I did my best to design a useful user
+      interface, tried to polish it as best I could, and released it into the
+      wild. The response from people was amazing, and today Arista Transcoder
+      is featured on blogs, magazines, tweets, Youtube videos, and even in the
+      Ubuntu 10.04 software center.</p>
+    </dd>
+
+    <dt><strong>What do you like about being a FLOSS
+    developer/contributor?</strong></dt>
+
+    <dd>
+      <p>I feel like I'm helping to make the world a better place, while
+      enjoying what I do and broadening my knowledge on a number of subjects
+      and technologies. I regularly get contacted by users of my software
+      thanking me for doing what I do.</p>
+
+      <p>Working with FLOSS has helped land me jobs, get me noticed, and has
+      helped me make many long-term friends in places of the world I'd never
+      imagine being. For example, last summer the GNOME Foundation sponsored me
+      to fly and stay in Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands off the coast of
+      Africa and meet the core GStreamer developers. I also met many RedHat,
+      Intel, Collabora, Nokia, and other developers there, who are surprisingly
+      a lot like you or me.</p>
+    </dd>
+
+    <dt><strong>What don't you like about being a FLOSS
+    developer/contributor?</strong></dt>
+
+    <dd>
+      <p>Honestly, you deal with a lot of assholes. People that make or
+      maintain projects tend to sometimes be ego-maniacal jerks, and I can see
+      where it comes from but it not only makes it hard for general people to
+      contribute, but also gives FLOSS a bad name (we've all heard the stories
+      of being told to RTFM n00b!)</p>
+
+      <p>Other people think that they can boss you around and tell you what you
+      need to do with your free time for them. They are delusional about what
+      this is - me working on stuff I enjoy when I have time.</p>
+    </dd>
+
+    <dt><strong>What advice would you give to others who were thinking about
+    becoming a FLOSS developer/contributor?</strong></dt>
+
+    <dd>
+      <p>Pick something you are interested in doing or learning, and do it!
+      Remember that the people that are rude to you don't represent us all, so
+      if you run into some of them just continue on.</p>
+    </dd>
+
+    <dt><strong>What do you do outside the FLOSS world?</strong></dt>
+
+    <dd>
+      <p>My day job is working as a transcoding engineer for an Internet media
+      content management, conversion, deployment, and advertising company in
+      New York City. In my free time I travel all over the world, play electric
+      guitar, grow a garden, cook, read, and go out partying it up with
+      friends.</p>
+    </dd>
+
+    <dt><strong>What operating system(s) do you use and why?</strong></dt>
+
+    <dd>
+      <p>I have been using only Linux since 2003 (and used it alongside Windows
+      before then). I started with Gentoo, then RedHat, and have used Ubuntu
+      since 2004. I currently use Ubuntu 10.04. It is fast, simple, popular,
+      easy to use, and just generally works so that I can work on the things I
+      like rather than fighting with my operating system.</p>
+
+      <p>I also own a Macbook and it has Mac OS X on it, though I mainly run
+      Ubuntu on there as well. Mac OS X has influenced me to focus on simple,
+      usable desktop apps which was the main idea behind Arista Transcoder.</p>
+    </dd>
+
+    <dt><strong>If people are interested in helping your project(s), how might
+    they do this?</strong></dt>
+
+    <dd>
+      <p>Projects always need artwork/media presence, websites, translations,
+      help / documentation, and users seem to have a never-ending ability to
+      find even the smallest bugs that need to be fixed. Depending on where
+      your skills lie, pick something you like and get in touch with me!</p>
+
+      <p>Don't worry if you don't know how to do much. We all have to start
+      somewhere, and I can promise to be understanding and will try to teach
+      anyone willing to learn what I know.</p>
+    </dd>
+
+    <dt><strong>Your web site features your photography as well as your FLOSS
+    development. Do you think of yourself as an artist who is also a FLOSS
+    developer, or a FLOSS developer who is also an artist? Is there a link for
+    you between these two activities, or is it by chance that you do
+    both?</strong></dt>
+
+    <dd>
+      <p>I consider myself a computer guy that dabbles in art. I have made icon
+      themes, window manager themes, 3d rendered animations, digital paintings,
+      and am into photography and digital editing / panorama creation. My love
+      of tinkering has made me want to try all sorts of things, so I do think
+      there is a link between the two. Art is after all building something,
+      just like creating a computer program from an idea in your head.</p>

+
+  <p><b>Disclaimer</b> - Be aware that the hints &amp; tips provided here have
+  NOT been tested and so come with no warranty.</p>
+
+  <h3>"What are a package's compile-time options?" Just ask git!</h3>
+
+  <p>If want to find out what configuration options were chosen for a specific
+  package, the gitweb interface provides easy access to this information. On
+  the Frugalware home page, select Download &gt; Packages from the menu, and
+  search for the package by name. When the results of your search have been
+  returned, you can click on "View entry" beside the "git" label. This shows
+  you a list of all the files which are used to create the package. To check
+  compile-time configuration settings, you can simply click on the
+  <em>Frugalbuild</em> file which shows you all the settings for that specific
+  package.</p>
+
+  <h3>Get a better-looking you in less than 10 minutes!</h3>
+
+  <p><strong>Don't send any money!</strong> You might not believe it, but it's
+  true! You really <em>can</em> look more handsome or beautiful in just 10
+  minutes. jKiwi is an application which allows you to change the way your head
+  looks by applying virtual hairstyles and makeup. Perhaps you don't see how
+  this can help in the real world? Follow these simple steps to a new you!</p>
+
+  <ol>
+    <li>Take a photo of your head;</li>
+
+    <li>Copy this to your PC and start jKiwi;</li>
+
+    <li>Apply new hairstyles and maybe a little makeup until the image looks as
+    you want to look;</li>
+
+    <li>Save the image and print it out on a colour printer;</li>
+
+    <li>Stick this to a piece of light cardboard;</li>
+
+    <li>Cut around the edge of the image, being careful not to cut off your
+    hair or any other important feature;</li>
+
+    <li>Poke small holes where your pupils are on the mask;</li>
+
+    <li>Poke two small holes in the mask near the edge of your ears;</li>
+
+    <li>Tie some elastic through one hole, put the mask on, measuring just
+    where the other hole needs to be tied, and tie it.</li>
+  </ol>
+
+  <p>Wear the mask any time you want to look better. So go on...get out there
+  and enjoy the new you!</p>
+
+  <p>This section relies on your contributions! If you have some tips and
+  tricks that you would like to be shown in the newsletter, <em>please</em>

+
+  <h3>yad</h3>
+
+  <p><a href="http://code.google.com/p/yad/";>yad</a> is a fork of Zenity, the
+  utility which allows you to use GUI controls in scripts, either for input or
+  output. According to its home page Zenity was forked because development had
+  stopped, but people wanted more features, also to remove dependencies on
+  deprecated libraries. If you currently use Zenity in scripts, consider using
+  yad instead, because it now offers more features.</p>
+
+  <h3>jKiwi</h3>
+
+  <p><a href="http://jkiwi.com";>jKiwi</a> is an application which allows you to
+  change the appearance of your head by applying virtual makeup and a new
+  hairstyle. It's a great idea, because if you're thinking of changing your
+  appearance, at least you can try it out first before going ahead with it in
+  real life. If there's one thing the world needs, it's definitely better
+  looking geeks!</p>
