[Trisquel-users] Gnome Flashback (gnome-flashback-session gnome-panel) aka Trisquel's DE
Hello All, we are pleased to announce the release of Gnome Panel 3.8.0. This is what the Gnome Flashback team has been working on in the last months. We are glad to achieve compatibility with the Gnome 3.8 stack just hours before the final Gnome 3.10 release. ;-) This is the first release that ships a session descriptor and wrapper script for the Gnome Flashback session. This is similar to the standalone fallback session previously shipped in Debian / Ubuntu. As integration with the rest of the Gnome stack has suffered somewhat, this is mainly aimed at distributions that still want to support a metacity / gnome-panel based desktop (e.g. for LTSP installations). Some integration work may be necessary - for example, nautilus 3.8 no longer draws the X root window background. The Gnome Flashback team was born in December 2012 out of a shared desire to continue work on the discontinued Gnome Fallback mode based on metacity and gnome-panel. We have invited people from downstream and derived desktops that have shared interests, e.g. the MATE team, to collaborate or join the Gnome Flashback team, and would like to explicitly renew this invitation. Gnome-Panel 3.8 is a mature port of the classical Gnome-Panel to Gnome 3 technologies, like GTK+ 3 and DConf/GSettings. (A metacity port to GTK+ 3 would also well be within the scope of Gnome Flashback.) We usually meet on the gnome-flashback-list gnome org . With kind regards, Philipp Kaluza (for the Gnome Flashback Team) ~ https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-announce-list/2013-September/msg00093.html PS: As for Trisquel Mini I hope for LXDE Razor-qt merger into LXDE-Qt.

My understandment of project health is as following: 1.| The creator - Rubén - has his very own life difficulties in Galicia region of Spain.

Ruined, check. Skype? Ruined, check. Nokia? Ruined, check. Dell? Ruined, check. Hewlett-Packard? Ruined, check. And of course Novell/SuSE.. Double-check.) I was talking about introduction of Mir. In this case I am on par with devs employed by Digia, Intel, Samsung and others who strongly advocate and support Wayland / temporary XWayland. 6.| Focus on light-weight DE / WM-s is not worth it. If necessary, then I would go for Razor-qt or Openbox dwm. Forget the LXDE, Xfce, MATE, Cinnamon, forking issue altogether. GNOME and KDE is for the mass being introduced in here, switching from Windows and Macintosh. 7.| FSF and Debian Project Leader should finish off the remaining philosophical incompatibility asap, because there is no chance about Red Hat giving up non-free firmware and tainted kernel in comminity led Fedora (Speaking of this, note that many of their employees use Windows on their boxes daily and just from inside of virtual machines they test, develop and maintain range of products - this was told to me by a guy who worked in their network lab for a longer period before - actually he was mine idol before swapping his honourable aims for easier to get greed). 8.| I am saddened by lengthy legal review processes inside AMD/ATI management and need for binary files in order to make use of acceleration and playback decoders. This can be triumphed only by unfair practices pushed against adoption of salvation standards like WebRTC, SPDY, WebGL, HTML5 and libre codecs e.g. Opus, Daala, VP9/WebM. 9.| There needs to be a social movement against these f**kers and establishment support by creating multiple political-activism groups in similar manner to Pirate Parties. Also, consumers should pressure the manufacturers to release specs and get rid of global-scale trade secrets as enforced by treaties like TPP agressively exported from U.S. elsewhere. 10.| Dear Trisquel community, I appeal on you, stop trolling and pushing camp dividing agenda.
