BetaPizza Hackaton Results
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
![](https://news.opensuse.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/P1270681-300x225.jpg)
|
||||
|
||||
Friday a week ago a [Beta Pizza Hackaton][1] took place at the SUSE offices and online. 121 people went over more than 580 bugs, screening 440 and fixing 140 of them. The contest was won by Stephan ‘coolo’ Kulow and Dominique ‘DimStar‘ Leuenberger, with top gold fixers Josef Reidinger and Michael Chang and a honorable mention for Antoine Saroufim.
|
||||
|
||||
## The BetaPizza Party Concept Turned Hackaton ##
|
||||
|
||||
Usually, the BetaPizza is as much about testing as about party. This time we added in the fixing of bugs as well! The SUSE engineers joined on Friday the 27th to catch and kill as many of these pesky little creatures as possible.
|
||||
|
||||
We set up some facilities:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
- a [bug list prepared][2] in bugzilla, labeled as [GOLD][3], [SILVER][4] and [BRONZE][5] as part of a contest)
|
||||
- [a Google hangout][6]
|
||||
- a [#openSUSE-pizza-hackaton IRC channel on Freenode][7]
|
||||
|
||||
In the various offices, a local BetaPizzaMaster made sure a common room was reserved and pizza was available at the appropriate time.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Results and winners of the bug fixing contest ##
|
||||
|
||||
Let’s start our results section with some great statistics:
|
||||
|
||||
- **140** fixed (19 GOLD, 4 SILVER, 0 BRONZE, 117 OTHER)
|
||||
- **440** screened (46 GOLD, 19 SILVER, 0 BRONZE, 375 OTHER)
|
||||
- **121** participants (76 employees, 45 volunteer)
|
||||
|
||||
As we said in the initial article announcing the event, we have some SUSE provided prizes for top contributors. An evaluation committee was established with Richard Brown (openSUSE Board member), Frederic Crozat (SLE department, openSUSE contributor) and Michal Hrusecky (openSUSE Team) as members.
|
||||
|
||||
It was a tough decision, but in the end, the committee selected two hackers, well known to Factory contributors, as overall winners: Stephan ‘coolo’ Kulow and Dominique ‘DimStar’ Leuenberger. The committee furthermore awarded the top contributors working on the preselected golden bugs: Josef Reidinger and Michael Chang. The committee finally decided on a Honorable mention. This one goes to Antoine Saroufim, who was helping the GNOME team a lot with testing and providing feedback regarding various bugs and crashes over IRC.
|
||||
|
||||
So in the end, we have three awards with following winners:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Winners**: Stephan ‘coolo’ Kulow and Dominique ‘DimStar’ Leuenberger
|
||||
- **Top gold fixers**: Josef Reidinger and Michael Chang
|
||||
- **Honorable mention**: Antoine Saroufim

Local experiences at the SUSE Offices
|
||||
|
||||
Taipei kicked off the long day, opening the hangout and working from a single room. Beijing had the biggest showing with 40 participants and 18 pizza’s eliminated though part of the Pizza eaters were kicking off [hackweek][8] and didn’t participate in the hackaton. The Pizza Master David Liang reports that the team enjoyed the IRC bot which reported the results of their work and other teams echo-ed this.
|
||||
|
||||
The Provo team noted that being in the last timezone meant being pretty lonely. Pizza Master Scott suggested we need to set up a teleportation unit and get everybody physically in one place next time. The openSUSE team is evaluating this option and suggestions for reasonably priced teleportation devices are welcome.
|
||||
|
||||
More testing?
|
||||
|
||||
All in all, we fixed lots of bugs, rid the world of some pizza (don’t worry, the world isn’t running out, and it’s [easy to make][9]) and had fun. But there’s more work to do – [openSUSE 13.1 RC1 is out][10] and we’re looking forward to more bug reports and fixes!

Development version of GIMP presented with top-bottom-left-right configurable tabs
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
[GIMP][1] is a powerful, advanced and complex image-editing application, permitting to both regular and professional skilled users to in-depth edit images via a massive amount of features, tools and functionalities.
|
||||
|
||||
It seems that the unstable development-only versions of **GIMP** are targeting interesting potential additions, including a more friendly and configurable manner of enjoying tabs in **GIMP**.
|
||||
|
||||
The official Google+ webpage of GIMP [shared][2] an interesting image with a **development** version of GIMP featuring adjustable tabs, essentially, allowing the user to set the tabs in GIMP on top, bottom, left and right areas, therefore, permitting an easy rearranging of tabs per-one's likeness.
|
||||
|
||||
The mentioned tweakable tabs are to be housed under the `Windows` menu, where the user is to be probably able to 1-click away select desired locations for tabs.
|
||||
|
||||
![](http://iloveubuntu.net/pictures_me/gimp%20development%20tabs.png)
|
||||
|
||||
The exciting support has been created due to "**in some cases it's desirable to have tabs position configurable**, so Jehan Pagès did just that: the unstable branch now lets you choose where you want your tabs: top, bottom, left, or right sides".

GNOME Software 3.10.1 Fixes Bugs and Adds New Features
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
**The GNOME Project has announced last evening, October 14, that the first maintenance release for the recently introduced GNOME Software application for the GNOME 3.10 desktop environment is available for download/upgrade.**
|
||||
|
||||
![](http://i1-news.softpedia-static.com/images/news2/GNOME-Software-3-10-1-Fixes-Bugs-and-Adds-New-Features-391284-2.jpg)
|
||||
|
||||
GNOME Software 3.10.1 is a maintenance release that mostly fixes bugs reported by users who had the chance to test this new application, which was originally introduced with the release of the GNOME 3.10 desktop environment.
|
||||
|
||||
However, the new release of GNOME Software also introduces some new features, among which we can mention a loading icon for empty tiles, support for the new 16:9 screenshots format, support for per-repo icon directories, support the 'X-AppInstall-Package' extension in desktop files, and the IBus frameworks installed by default are marked as system apps.
|
||||
|
||||
The hardcoded ratings and screenshot plugins were removed from this version of GNOME Software, with the mention that they will not be available until the release of the GNOME 3.12 desktop environment, next year.
|
||||
|
||||
Among the bugs fixed in GNOME Software 3.10.1, we can mention re-implementation of the hover state to feature tile, strings in the AppData file are now translatable, memory corruption is now prevented when doing dedupe() more than once, notify::state is no longer transmitted from a thread, and the "Remove" option is now displayed for installed apps that are updatable.
|
||||
|
||||
Moreover, a critical error has been fixed in gs_string_replace(), some small memory leaks were fixed, a refcounting error, which could cause a crash, has been fixed, the application widget will no longer be removed twice when it changes state, and local applications have names, icons and comments.
|
||||

GNOME To Work On Wayland Accessibility Support
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
Now that GNOME 3.10 has shipped and with it comes initial native Wayland support, GNOME developers are beginning to focus on the GNOME 3.12 release cycle and working on some of the open work items in Wayland enablement.
|
||||
|
||||
Matthias Clasen of Red Hat has written to the Wayland developers about improving the accessibility support. In the GNOME Wayland porting, among the accessibility items that will likely need to be implemented within the GNOME Shell Mutter Wayland compositor are input tweaks (slow keys / bounce keys), zoom and color adjustments, text protocol support for on-screen keyboards and the like, and other improvements for properly handling the on-screen keyboard.
|
||||
|
||||
In terms of why Clasen is bringing this GNOME work up with Wayland developers, "All of these features violate the careful separation between clients that Wayland maintains, so that probably calls for some privileged interface for ATs. I would appreciate feedback and discussion on this. Has anybody else thought about these problems already?"
|
||||
|
||||
The new mailing list thread can be found on [Wayland-devel][1].

Install Or Upgrade VMware Tools In Ubuntu
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
Few days ago, VMware Workstation 10 was released. VMware Workstation is a virtualization software that lets you run multiple operating systems using a single host machine. With this software, you can run guest machines such as Windows XP, Vista 7 and 8 though 8.1. You can also run Linux operating systems, including Ubuntu.
|
||||
|
||||
Because we use VMware Workstation to run some guest machines, we had to upgrade VMware tools on all of them. It is very important that you install VMware Tools in the guest operating system. That’s because the tool provides required support for shared folders, drag and drop operations, better graphic and improved performance.
|
||||
|
||||
This brief tutorial is going to show you what we did to install and upgrade all our guest machines that run under VMware Workstation. Other benefits that the tool provides is synchronization of time between the guest machine and the host, grabbing and releasing of the mouse, coping and pasting between the guest and hose machines and more.
|
||||
|
||||
To get started, open VMware Workstation and select the Ubuntu guest machine and start it or turn it on. Next, click **VM –> Install VMware Tools…** from the host menu.
|
||||
|
||||
For you information, I am running Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) but this method may work with previous versions.
|
||||
|
||||
![](http://www.liberiangeek.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/ubuntu-vmware-tools.png)
|
||||
|
||||
A virtual CD/DVD Rom should be mounted with VMware Tools archive. Next, run the commands below to extract the package to the temp directory.
|
||||
|
||||
tar -xvf /media/$USER/"VMware Tools"/VMwareTools*.gz -C /tmp
|
||||
|
||||
Next, run the below commands to begin the installation.
|
||||
|
||||
sudo /tmp/vmware-tools-distrib/vmware-install.pl
|
||||
|
||||
During the installation, just press the Enter key to accept the defaults when prompted. The tool will install itself along with any required packages.
|
||||
|
||||
When it’s done, restart your computer and begin enjoying your machine.

Linux Won't Get Aura UI Stack Until Google Chrome 33
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
While Google's Chrome 32 web-browser will feature the Aura UI stack from Chrome OS, the Chrome desktop web-browser on Linux won't get the GPU-accelerated interface until one version later.
|
||||
|
||||
Aura is the UI stack used by Google Chrome OS that can fully take advantage of graphics processors where supported. The only native element/widget is the top-level window while everything else is handled by Chrome and composited by the program itself. Google's goal is to use the same UI stack across Windows, Linux, and Chrome OS (albeit not on OS X or other platforms). While Aura is designed to take advantage of modern GPUs, there is a pure software fallback mode too.
|
||||
|
||||
With Chrome 32, Aura will now be used as the UI stack. Windows 7 and Windows 8 systems will support the GPU acceleration code-path while Windows XP and Vista users will be limited to software-accelerated support. The Aura code-path also determines whether WebGL and Pepper-based Flash is using GPU support too.
|
||||
|
||||
As shared via the [Chromium Google Group][1] last week, the Linux version of Chromium now won't see Aura with GPU acceleration until version 33. In other words, the UI stack should arrive on Linux right around the end of the calendar year.

Modern terminal Final Term adds multiple-terminals per-window support
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
[Final Term][1] is a modern terminal application that centers exciting capabilities and handy features into a beautiful interface, Final Term presenting itself as a significant advancement for the terminal metaphor.
|
||||
|
||||
Smart command completion with drop-down menu and case sensitive/insensitive ability, semantic text menus recognizing web URLs, IP addresses, PIDs, option to collapse commands, 8 / 16 / 256 colors support, drop-down look, accurate and proper window resizing with precise text repositioning come to present Final Term as an advanced, versatile terminal application.
|
||||
|
||||
Along with the already-existent pack of solid and exciting features, it seems that Final Term's development is targeting new features for inclusion, as in the case of the newly-announced **multiple terminals per window** support.
|
||||
|
||||
Essentially, the multiple-terminals-per-window allows the user to split the Final Term's window into multiple splits, splits then having the capacity to contain numerous tabs.
|
||||
|
||||
As seen in the below GIF, the modern terminal application features now a clickable menu containing *New Tab, Split Horizontally* and *Split Vertically*, clicking on *Split Horizontally*, splits the window horizontally, behavior followed by *Split Vertically*, too.
|
||||
|
||||
Yet, hitting the *New Tab* entry, continues to add new and new tabs into a portion/split of the Final Term's main window, therefore, permitting an advanced usage of the terminal application suitable for both regular and complex demands.
|
||||
|
||||
![](http://iloveubuntu.net/pictures_me/multiple%20terminal%20per%20window%20final%20term.gif)
|
||||
|
||||
A definitely interesting aspect of the mentioned feature is its drag & drop support, dragging a tab from one split and dropping it on another split, moves the tab on the other split and, thus, moves all commands and details from one side of the terminal to another preferred area of the terminal.
|
||||
|
||||
The full article, including the programming-specific manner of implementing the handy features, is available on [http://blog.finalterm.org/2013/10/multiple-terminals-final-term-style.html][2]
|
||||
|
||||
Final Term's code is available on [https://github.com/p-e-w/finalterm][3]
|
||||
|
||||
**Worth mentioning**
|
||||
|
||||
At the moment, Final Term is work in progress.

A definitely interesting aspect of Rapid Photo Downloader is its nature, namely, being created by a photographer and, therefore, presenting itself as a photographer-centric utility with accordingly-exposed features and support.
|
||||
|
||||
Essentially, Rapid Photo Downloader allows the user to copy/move items from (for example) storage media used by photography machines, in order to remove the manual confuse manner of browsing through the photography machine' media and manually picking items.
|
||||
|
||||
Among its **features**, Rapid Photo Downloader comes with:
|
||||
|
||||
- auto-detection of camera-specific media via the Auto Detect button and exposing of contained items
|
||||
- ability to specify automatic file renaming with tweakable text (editable), date and time, filename, metadata, job code, sequences and real-time previews of to-be-generated item names
|
||||
- support to simultaneously download photos and images from multiple devices
|
||||
- optimized manner of rapidly downloading items
|
||||
- in-depth configuration options
|
||||
|
||||
Launching Rapid Photo Downloader, the user is to notice its elegant look centering clarity and user-friendliness, main window divided in three main areas: the top area housing `From` and `To`, middle area with items populating it and bottom-area featuring details and the actual `Download` button.
|
||||
|
||||
![](http://iloveubuntu.net/pictures_me/rapid-photo-downloader%20main%20view.jpg)
|
||||
|
||||
Copying (for example) items from a location to the `Pictures` and `Videos` folders is as simple as:
|
||||
|
||||
- under `From`, select the preferred source-like location (containing the about-to-be-copied items)
|
||||
- action that exposes the automatically-detected items on the dark middle-area
|
||||
- retaining the `Copy` button checked and hitting the bottom-bar's Download, downloads images to the `Pictures` folder and video-clips to `Videos`
|
||||
|
||||
![](http://iloveubuntu.net/pictures_me/Rapid%20Photo%20Downloader%20main%20view%202.png)
|
||||
|
||||
The result: by hitting the `Download` button, Rapid Photo Downloader automatically divides the photos from videos and copies images to a specific location and video-clips to a different location.
|
||||
|
||||
The about-to-be-copied items are checkable, allowing the user to uncheck certain files, files then fully ignored by the copying process.
|
||||
|
||||
Similarly, the `Move` button is to be utilized for moving items from one location to another, action that removes the items from the source location and copies them to the new location (therefore, there is only one instance of the copied files).
|
||||
|
||||
Rapid Photo Downloader is a solid robust application, being able to successfully manage thousands of items, items properly exposed on its view, from where the user is able to act on them.
|
||||
|
||||
Rapid Photo Downloader has been updated to version **0.4.7**, introducing several fixes, including enhancements related to its usability under Ubuntu 13.10, as well as removed crashes and ability to download audio files associated with photos generated by specific cameras (such as Canon 1D series).
|
||||
|
||||
How do we **install** Rapid Photo Downloader 0.4.7?
|
||||
|
||||
Add the following **official** PPA (Ubuntu 12.04, Ubuntu 12.10, Ubuntu 13.04, Ubuntu 13.10, Ubuntu 14.04)
|
||||
|
||||
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:dlynch3/ppa
|
||||
sudo apt-get update
|
||||
sudo apt-get install rapid-photo-downloader
|
||||
|
||||
In-depth **step-by-step** features, abilities and support are fully presented on [http://www.damonlynch.net/rapid/documentation/][2]
|
||||
|
||||
### Worth mentioning ###
|
||||
|
||||
While Rapid Photo Downloader 0.4.7 removes a bug affecting Ubuntu 13.10 and Ubuntu 12.10, there still may be likely for users to encounter freezes using Rapid Photo Downloader 0.4.7 under Ubuntu 13.10, situation in which the user is advised to use Rapid Photo Downloader under Ubuntu 12.04 (version unaffected by the mentioned bug).

Ubuntu 13.10: It just works
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
**Find out why Jack Wallen thinks that Ubuntu 13.10 is a solid, reliable platform that just works. Do you agree? **
|
||||
|
||||
![](http://tr1.cbsistatic.com/hub/i/r/2013/10/15/c0a67c0e-828d-4efb-80b2-0490dc61e325/resize/620x485/ubuntu-13-10-saucy-salamander.jpg)
|
||||
|
||||
I've been using Ubuntu for a very long time. I was one of the few in the media who adopted Unity as my primary desktop interface. In fact, I've grown so used to Unity that I have trouble finding any form of efficiency in other desktops. So, naturally, when a new Ubuntu release is about to be unleashed upon the world, I grab a beta and install it.
|
||||
|
||||
The hype surrounding the upcoming 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) was fairly significant. Leading this charge was the much-anticipated switch to Xmir. Well, thanks to a few show-stopping issues (such as dual-monitor support), Xmir has been pushed back to 14.04. Is this a big deal? Yes and no. Yes, because Xmir will be a major change to the sub-systems of Ubuntu. No, because Xmir must be faultless when released -- otherwise, the backlash will knock Canonical back so far in the past that they'll have a hard time recovering in the eyes of the Linux community.
|
||||
|
||||
Beyond Xmir, the biggest change from .04 to .10 is the much-maligned inclusion of Smart Scopes. What are Smart Scopes? Let me explain it in the simplest terms as possible.
|
||||
|
||||
When you open your browser and begin typing a string of characters, you know how that browser will make suggestions for you based on search terms, location, and history? Smart Scopes brings that same functionality to the desktop. I've run some tests on it, and it's pretty incredible. Search for nearly anything, and it will return results based on a number of criteria. Want to know the location of a restaurant in your area? I conducted a search for my favorite Mexican restaurant, Bazos, and an entry appeared in Smart Scopes (**Figure A**). Click the entry to get the address or open that entry in a web browser to get more information (and even reviews).
|
||||
|
||||
**Figure A**
|
||||
|
||||
![](http://tr2.cbsistatic.com/hub/i/r/2013/10/15/2973959a-1e3e-454d-af1f-b8ed01236a87/resize/620x485/smart_scopes_1.101513.png)
|
||||
|
||||
**My favorite place to eat listed in Smart Scopes.**
|
||||
|
||||
I get it, there are people out there suffering from apoplectic fits of terror because Smart Scopes is an invasion of privacy. This is no different than what your web browser is doing. So, unless you constantly run your web browser in Incognito mode, all those search strings are saved and compared anyway. And the truth is, why wouldn't you want your search results based on your preferences and behavior instead of some generic algorithm? Personally, I don't mind my search results being quantified and qualified, so long as it constantly refines the search results based on my needs.
|
||||
|
||||
Smart Scopes isn't limited to seeking out search results from the network. You'll be happily searching for anything and everything on your local (or locally attached) drives as well. With this inclusion, Smart Scopes becomes one of the single most powerful search tools available.
|
||||
|
||||
Of course, if you don't like Smart Scopes, you can turn them off. Here's how:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Click the Settings launcher
|
||||
1. Select Security & Privacy
|
||||
1. In the Search tab, turn Include online search results to Off (**Figure B**)
|
||||
|
||||
**Figure B**
|
||||
|
||||
![](http://tr2.cbsistatic.com/hub/i/r/2013/10/15/5059f807-0498-460c-a5d8-7ad3f0ccbae3/resize/620x485/smart_scopes_2.101513.png)
|
||||
|
||||
**It's easy to turn off the Smart Scopes feature.**
|
||||
|
||||
With all of that said, let's step away from the arguments for or against search privacy and let me explain exactly why Ubuntu 13.10 is the perfect desktop for nearly any user.
|
||||
|
||||
The install was fresh from the latest daily build. During the installation, I included third-party software, updates, and was even able to authenticated to my UbuntuOne account. The install was incredibly simple (as most modern Linux distributions are), and at first login, everything was smooth.
|
||||
|
||||
What initially struck me about Ubuntu 13.10 is how everything worked out of the box. There was no need to install codecs to listen or view various multi-media files, flash worked, and everything was ready for average, daily computer use. You could work on office documents, set up your email account... you name it. But that has become the standard operating procedure for Ubuntu.
|
||||
|
||||
So, what's different? Honestly, not much. However, what little difference there is should go a long way with the average user. Probably the single most important thing I've found is that a lot of the little quirks and oddities are gone. There are no longer any strange errors that randomly pop up to cause confusion and disdain among new users. Windows don't artifact or stall, the Dash is very responsive (as is Smart Scopes), and the compositing is smooth and effortless against your CPU. Also, the bug is resolved that plagued the Dash when trying to use the arrow keys to navigate through search results.
|
||||
|
||||
## Ubuntu 13.10 just works ##
|
||||
|
||||
I would go as far to say that Ubuntu has done to the desktop what Apple did with hardware/software -- it developed a clean, solid convergence of pieces to create a cohesive whole. Although that whole has ruffled some feathers, Ubuntu 13.10 should go a long way to smooth them out. How is that possible, considering how many users have turned their back (thanks to [the Wayland kerfuffle][1])?
|
||||
|
||||
Outside of Smart Scopes, there are no major changes. There's little excitement on the desktop -- it's still the same old look and feel. Oh sure, there are tiny tweaks here and there, but overall, 13.10 and 13.04 look the same at first blush. Under the hood? Same thing. You'll find a new kernel (3.11) and a few other tweaks, but nothing to cause the cheerleaders of the world to frustratingly toss their pompoms in the air.
|
||||
|
||||
Instead, Ubuntu 13.10 is a refinement of something that was already there and polished. There are no show stopping or curtain call worthy new features -- just countless tweaks here and there that make the whole system run smooth and fast.
|
||||
|
||||
The final release of Saucy Salamander is set for October 17, 2013. You can get a copy of the [daily build][2] or wait for the release date. Either way, you're going to get a solid, reliable platform that just works.

|
||||
- **New devices and management utilities**: A new virtual USB webcam device enables video conferencing applications such as Skype or Google Hangouts to run in virtual machines. New recording session capabilities allow users to record part, or all, of a virtual machine session using a new video-capture facility. For easy playback, movies are created in WebM format by a range of movie-players.
|
||||
- **Networking improvements**: A new Network Address Translation (NAT) option allows virtual machines to talk to each other on the same host, and communicate with the outside world. IPv6 is now offered across Bridged, Host-only, Internal and the new NAT networking modes. In addition, the remote display server built-in to Oracle VM VirtualBox can accommodate RDP connections over IPv4 and IPv6 networks.
|
||||

‘Polari’ – An Awesome New IRC App for GNOME
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
You have to hand it to the GNOME designers and developers: their work in creating a coherent, integrated set of apps for the desktop is showing true promise.
|
||||
|
||||
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/gnome3_polari.jpg)
|
||||
|
||||
*The latest build of Polari in action.*
|
||||
|
||||
In fact, they’ve barely sat still over the last couple of years, creating app after app.
|
||||
|
||||
There are now dedicated apps for Music, Video and Photos; a virtual machine manager in the shape of Boxes; the Maps, Weather & Notes tools are all looking fantastic. And the new GNOME Software Store? Design wise it knocks Ubuntu’s aged offering out of the park!
|
||||
|
||||
But it seems that the GNOME app gurus aren’t done yet. Work has recently begun on a new GNOME 3 IRC app called ‘Polari’.
|
||||
|
||||
(As an aside, it’s a testament to the focus within the GNOME development community on putting users first that the one tool they likely use most often to communicate is one of the last to get the GNOME app treatment.)
|
||||
|
||||
## Polari – Planned Features ##
|
||||
|
||||
It’s not fixed in a dusty coding tome that all IRC clients have to resemble something from an 80s sci-fi movie, or be intimidating to the general user. Even in today’s world of instant communications via social networks, IRC remains a great way for people to chat.
|
||||
|
||||
To this end, if [Polari][1] (expect a name change further down the line) had a slogan it would be “*An IRC client for dummies*.”
|
||||
|
||||
On the features n’ functionality front Polari aims to offer:
|
||||
|
||||
- Easy connection to IRC servers & rooms
|
||||
- Clearly see mentions & notifications
|
||||
- Support GNOME 3 notifications
|
||||
- Integration with Contacts, the GNOME contacts app
|
||||
- History & transcript features
|
||||
- Link previews
|
||||
- File transfers
|
||||
|
||||
Developer-orientated features have also been mooted, including integrated support for Pastebin & Bugzilla.
|
||||
|
||||
So when can you try it? Not quite yet. Development of Polari is still in its early stages, but, if you’re willing to build it from Git (requires GNOME 3.10) you’ll find that it’s already capable of handling the basics, including delivering notifications for mentions.
|
||||
|
||||
For code-compiling-phobes Polari is expected to feature (most likely as an app preview) in GNOME 3.12, due next year.

"Performance, refinement, maintainability, technical debt, improving quality" and "we’re going to keep racing forward" to characterize Ubuntu 14.04's development cycle
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
Ubuntu 13.10 was released yesterday, Ubuntu 13.10 allowing users to utilize an up-to-date optimized Ubuntu release with gains in agility, fluidity and an overall solid look & feel.
|
||||
|
||||
Starting of today, the natural flow of the developers is Ubuntu 14.04-centric, version being an LTS and, therefore, receiving a special treatment following Ubuntu's values and strategies.
|
||||
|
||||
**Mark Shuttleworth** [announced][1] hours ago the new name of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Trusty Tahr, interesting article presenting the focus on the 14.04 LTS version, too.
|
||||
|
||||
Among the to-be-followed directions, Mark Shuttleworth talked about and listed performance, refinement, maintainability and technical debt, while adopting a more conservative approach in creating, shaping and delivering Trusty, "it would be entirely appropriate for us to make **conservative choices**".
|
||||
|
||||
The conservative nature of Ubuntu 14.04's development is natural, the next LTS will feature five years of support, while pleasing both users and companies interested in the most stable Ubuntu experience.
|
||||
|
||||
Moreover, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS is to witness:
|
||||
|
||||
- "we will be providing OpenStack I, J and K on 14.04 for LTS deployments"
|
||||
- "on the desktop, 13.10 has benefited greatly from the fact that it has a team just focused on improving quality. We’ll do the same again and more for 14.04"
|
||||
- "on the mobile front, we’re going to keep racing forward, the platform is too new for an LTS"
|
||||
|
||||
![](http://iloveubuntu.net/pictures_me/trusty%20tahr%20development%20goals.jpg)
|
||||
|
||||
The in-depth decisions about what, where, how, when related to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS are to be planned, discussed and refined in the upcoming [virtual Ubuntu Developer][2] Summit, video-session based event happening during **November 19th - November 21st **2013, event fully open for participation and completely open to interested users, third-party developers and teams seeking to learn about all Ubuntu layers and areas directly as presented by Ubuntu developers, designers, leaders, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS will not feature convergence capabilities, yet, the work continues with vigorous plans and according features in the 14.04 cycle, too, "we won’t get there in one cycle but given the pace of improvement of the phone and tablet in the last month I think **it’s going to be a fantastic cycle there"**.
