Fontastic!

Want to see a deluxe, modern, quality font? Don't hesitate and watch how Titillium applies to your workflow! This is really an amazing font under an amazing licence - the OFL. I'm looking forward to find more fonts like this on the new openfontlibrary project page.

Oh, and don't forget to check once in a while - Titillium will soon have an extra-black version...

The trough of disillusionment for Ubuntu?

Reading this blog entry on Linux Magazine, the thought occurred to me that Ubuntu is making its way nicely along the path that new projects have travelled for many years. It is around the same place that Red Hat used to be around the time of Red Hat 7.

The Hype Cycle describes the way that new technologies and projects are perceived over time, if they do a good job of handling themselves, going from a technology trigger, inflated expectations, disillusionment, enlightenment, before arriving at “the plateau of productivity” – a state where there is no more hype and the new technology is simply a normal part of our lives.

Ubuntu arrived with a bang, and certainly has had inflated expectations over the past couple of years. And yet due to quality issues, it has recently been failing to meet those expectations, especially around upgrading from previous versions (by no means an easy problem to get right, don’t get me wrong).

But then, you don’t get upset about things you don’t care about.

This disillusionment, if it doesn’t turn into resignation, could be a sign of health in the Ubuntu project and community – on condition that the lessons of quality are learned and put into practice. Certainly this is a drum that Mark Shuttleworth has been beating for some time now – but unfortunately it’s not as easy as asking upstream to get their act together in a Tom Sawyer community model. It seems like an ideal opportunity for collaboration between distributions and upstream projects, as well as being the core activity of each individual distribution. Supplying quality is, after all, the market opportunity which Linux distributions base their business models on.

In any case, I for one am looking forward to the deflated expectations being met and exceeded in future releases, allowing us Ubuntu users to make it to the Plateau of Productivity as soon as possible.

The Open Clip Art Library

Nicu Buculei: This is a small world

This morning when going to work I somehow noticed (I usually don't look for such things) this small poster glued on the wall of a building close to my office (less than 50 meters away):

poster

Noting out of the extraordinary, some small firm advertising for pet services, but what drew my attention was the drawing in the top-right corner with a dog head. It was looking familiar, as it is one of my drawings published at the Open Clip Art Library and it made my day!

I made it years ago, exercising original drawing made with the mouse, so the result is not great, but I submitted it to the library anyway, as I do with all my drawings which are not made for a specific project. And I found awesome how a little graphic contributed to an international project found its way back to a few meters away of me. Either the world is very small or what we are doing is really useful for the people.

Now to be honest, I can't say for sure if the image is taken from openclipart.org, from my own website, where the images are also available, or from one of the many other websites redistributing, grace to the PD dedication, the openclipart.org content. But this is irrelevant, the goal was achieved.

PS: is not wise to base your company logo on Public Domain clipart, but for very small companies this is not a real problem, they don't have real branding.

StatusNet FollowUp Press

What a hyperactive last few weeks! Life keeps accelerating it seems. If you missed this press, a couple of great posts about community advising I’m doing with Status.Net. ReadWriteWeb wrote:

The news is significant as it reflects the interest in open-source alternatives to the proprietary microblogging services that currently dominate the market in the consumer and enterprise communities.

Also, please read the big news about Status.Net closing another round of investment which allows for myself, Brion, Evan and more all work on such a great project.

Worldlabel: Clip Art of the Month: Holiday images

November 2009 Clip Art of the Month salutes the Holiday Season!

Businesses shut down. Productivity slows to a halt. Shopping malls are so full of people they’re bursting at the seems. These are just some of the ideas brought to mind as the end of the year approaches and a new Holiday Season is upon us.

A source of stress, at times, the Holidays can also be a time of togetherness and unity for people. Clip art images by liftarn (above) and bloodsong (below) beautifully demonstrate how simple and effective imagery can articulate these same feelings.

Vector graphics have also been stylistically implemented by mcol’s Christmas tree in the spirit of the Holiday Season.

The Open Clip Art Library is always evolving and welcomes contributions from everyone around the world.

Clip Art of the month is sponsored by Worldlabel.com, a multifunctional label manufacturer.

PlayDeb.net beta

What a nice surprise! Along with the new release of Ubuntu I discovered the game project PlayDeb.net that aims to extend the official repositories with recent versions of great games. Not only does it provide really good games with nice meta information in a well structured and clean website, but also eases the process of installing them: just install their package and get any game with a simple click on their homepage. Any? - not really, some don't seem to work yet. (I guess that's why they still call it beta 2 :P) Look for availability of 9.10 - unfortunately not all games have support for the latest Ubuntu.

Anyway a great project!

Ubuntu 9.10 is here

As you have probably heard already, the new Ubuntu (Karmic Koala) is now available. I use this operating system not only because it is the most usable GNU/Linux distribution out there, but because it is a really good operating system in general. If you don't know it - try it! Because it has more to offer than just a few features or a nice price: freedom.

Maybe one day I'll finally switch to some OS that offers even more freedom than Ubuntu does today, but until then I certainly recommend Ubuntu to anyone.

(For all you windows people out there: you can even install this complete operating system inside Windows just like you install/uninstall other applications - try that if you're too cautious!)

Quelques agréables nouveautés de GNOME 2.28 et Ubuntu 9.10

Y’a un dossier de captures d’écran qui me supplie d’être publié depuis des semaines, alors voici un petit tour rapide d’améliorations «visibles» dans la nouvelle release d’Ubuntu. Le «comment installer Ubuntu 9.10 en version LPIA en souffrant atrocement» sera pour un autre billet (j’hésite à le faire en français ou en anglais). Ici, je me concentre sur des petits détails qui sont généralement peu mentionnés dans les release notes.

Tout d’abord, la calculatrice affiche maintenant les symboles des opérations de division et multiplication comme elles sont courramment utilisées dans le monde réel et les salles de classe:

calculatrice

Ensuite, les avertissements d’espace disque faible sont (enfin!) de retour. Je suis content, parce que je remplis mon /home de manière récurrente. Cette fenêtre de dialogue est d’autant plus intéressante pour les utilisateurs lambda, parce qu’elle apporte deux solutions concrètes au problème:

Espace disque faible

J’ai également constaté que le dialogue de déconnexion de session a légèrement changé. Il me dit maintenant que «oh, en passant, t’as encore des mises à jour qui nécessiteront plus qu’un logout, pourquoi pas redémarrer?»:

Fermer la session

Evolution 2.28 apporte un tas de petites améliorations subtiles, mais dévoile aussi un bug assez affreux dans GTK+. Si la vue en icônes est activée, attacher un fichier à un message va rapidement remplir votre mémoire vive. J’ai brièvement fouillé sur launchpad pour trouver un rapport de bug qui ressemble assez à ma description, pour signaler aux devs d’Ubuntu qu’il faudrait appliquer le patch qui a été ajouté à GTK+.

En plus de divers correctifs, de peaufinements dans l’interface (à mort Bonobo!), je viens de constater qu’Evolution affiche enfin correctement les images de nos contacts (ça n’avait jamais fonctionné pour moi avant):

mugshots dans evolution - pixellisé

La fenêtre de statistiques de GNOME Power Manager est franchement mieux. Plus flexible, utile, professionnelle, etc. Faut dire que jusqu’à hier, mon netbook roulait encore sous Ubuntu 8.10 + GNOME 2.24.

stats gpm 1

stats gpm 2

Je me réjouis également d’avoir enfin le nouveau contrôleur de volume de GNOME, qui est conçu pour s’intégrer à Pulseaudio. Maintenant, paramétrer le son en surround n’est que deux clics de souris (avec une carte son bien supportée comme mon chip intégré Intel ICH9), les thèmes sonores sont bien pris en charge, et les (dé)branchements de périphériques à chaud (ex: micro USB, webcam, casque micro USB, cartes son USB, etc.) deviennent enfin possibles:

Préférences du son

Un nouvel utilitaire a également fait son apparition («Palimpset»). Il permet de gérer ses périphériques de stockage (disques durs, disques optiques, lecteurs de cartes, etc.) et leurs partitions, intègre la surveillance SMART, et permet même… de se fabriquer un RAID facilement!

Utilitaire de disque Palimpsest

Oh ouais. J’ai oublié de mentionner le plus traumatisant. Totem lit maintenant les DVDs correctement (avec les menus et tout)! Eh ouais. Ça fait seulement cinq ans que j’attendais ça pour que mes amis fans de VLC/mplayer arrêtent de se moquer de moi :)

Ce n’est pas tout. Ça, c’était la liste des petits trucs sympa que je peux montrer avec des captures d’écran. Il y a aussi, dans ma liste de «petits problèmes chiants réglés avec 9.10»:

  • tearing lorsque composite est activé sur GPUs intel (LP #278318)
  • couleurs tordues:  [i945] totem overrides XV_CONSTRAST/XV_SATURATION to wrong default value (Xv movies on i810/i945 have horrible colour/gamma/contrast) (LP #32963)
  • instabilité générale des drivers intel (LP #359392)
  • conversations audio/vidéo dans empathy
  • evolution qui respecte les proxy socks (du moins en théorie… pas encore pu tester, pour une raison que j’ignore, les proxy socks ne sont plus aucunement pris en compte sous gnome on dirait)
  • liferea webkit, série 1.6, qui est bien plus performant que la série 1.4
  • webcam du mini 9 qui ne flicker plus
  • openoffice ne foire plus l’affichage des caractères lorsque le lissage sous-pixel est activé dans GNOME
  • …firefox non plus
  • gedit peut être mis en mode plein écran, plus besoin d’un greffon pour ça
  • surround qui ne fonctionne pas dans totem si les visualisations sont activées (LP #323298)
  • [Bug 350007] evolution busy-waits on GPG signing operations
  • Bug 334806 – Nautilus should inhibit gnome-power-manager when copying files
  • [Bug 340212] Using Ctrl+Backspace copies to clipboard (dans evolution)
  • problèmes avec les dégradés dans les PDFs avec Evince (http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22985), mais pas confondre avec http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=553880 ; le problème n’est pas complètement réglé, ouvert http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24447 à ce sujet
  • Bug 583851 – accents / unicode stuff not recognize (dans hamster)
  • [Bug 478239] attachment icon is shown for messages that contain no attachment (dans evolution)
  • [Bug 565309] Srt subtitle badly detected
  • [OpenOffice.org Issue 28526] Allow anti-aliasing of drawing objects
  • [LP #354620] Recording from microphone stutters when pulseaudio is running
  • le curseur qui clignote et le texte inutile lors de la mise en veille/reprise de mon Mini 9 (thanks, Kernel Mode Setting!)
  • [LP #323859] Speakers do not mute when starting an audio program with headsets jack inserted
  • Les vidéos Flash qui n’étaient pas fluides et avaient du tearing (ex: Youtube en SD) sur mon Mini 9

Prochain billet (si j’en ai le courage et qu’il y a un intérêt pour la chose): un guide tiré de mon expérience pour installer la version LPIA d’Ubuntu 9.10 sur mon Mini 9. C’était tout sauf user-friendly, mais je suppose que ça valait la peine (mon processeur reste autour de 39-43°C au lieu de 48-51°C au repos!).

Open Source Painting

State of MyPaint

Intrest around the MyPaint project seems to have increased lately, both from end users and contributors. I suspect this is both due to the software maturing and getting more publicity (especially thanks to David Revoy of the Durian project).  We hope to see this trend continue!

In and before version 0.7 practially all development was done by project lead Martin Renold alone. However, for the upcoming release I suspect that over half of the commits/code changes comes from others. And this is not due to Martin slacking off! Especially Ilya Portnov has done a lot of good work, but we also have significant contributions from 4-5 others. Needless to say, this is awesome.

MyPaint v0.8?

Here are some of the larger features/improvements that will be in the next release.

MyPaint in german

MyPaint in german

We are aiming to get this out in November/December, but…

We want your help

Besides coders we want translators and people to write documentation. Don’t worry if you don’t have a lot of experience, we will help you get started. We also want packagers so we can get into official package repositories. And someone to help get a Mac OSX version up and running (should not take much) would be great.

Interested? See the Resources page for how to get in touch.

Users often tweak photos for different purposes and using different tools: they adjust white balance, sharpen, desaturate, "heal" skin defects, stitch panoramas etc. While some adjustment tasks can be fulfilled in cataloging software, other can't. It means that users needs to make these adjustments in some standalone graphics editor and make both project file (PSD, XCF etc.) and the processed image be available from cataloging software, possibly as version of the original file. Managing a photo library of both originals, project files and processed images becomes major pain.
