Busy days

by | Mon 10 Jul 2006

Wow, life is busy right now. Lots of things going on, and lots of preparation for some big things. Here is whats filling my waking hours these days:

– [LUGRadio Live 2006](https://www.lugradio.org/live/2006) planning is going apace. We have pretty much everything in order now, and its good to see it solidifying. Things like art, banners, printed programmes, t-shirts, exhibitors, speakers, projectors, PA systems, LAN gaming and everything is now pretty much sorted. Its going to be awesome!
– If all goes well, [Jokosher](https://www.jokosher.org/) gets its 0.1 release on the 22nd July. Most of the bugs seem fixed and other than a few bugs in GStreamer that have been introduced with some recent fixes, we are there. Our good friends in #gstreamer are fixing those as we speak though! 🙂
– I am working to build up some autonomous teams as part of the Jokosher project. Jeff Ratliff has been doing some great work getting the [Jokosher Documentation Team](https://jokosher.python-hosting.com/wiki/DocumentationTeam) started, and we should have some great docs for the first release. Andreas Nilsson has been going [icon nuts](https://ramnet.se/~nisse/blog/?p=25), and so has Oscar. We are beginning to see the [Art Team](https://jokosher.python-hosting.com/wiki/ArtTeam) forming.
– Finishing off a PHP/MySQL book.
– Thinking more and more about the contextual desktop. The [blog post I wrote](https://archivedblog.jonobacon.com/?p=710) garnered some really awesome comments and some interesting ideas. When I get a moment for my head to breathe I am going to think about it in some more detail.

Incidentally, for you Planet GNOME people, if anyone could set up `jokosher-devel-list` and add me as the listmaster (jono AT jonobacon DOT org), that would be great. I mailed the list request email address and got nothing back, and I spoke to jdub about it, but I know he is a busy guy. Our current list has gone down and doesn’t seem to be coming back (it was on one of the developers ADSL connection), so we need a solid mailing list, particularly building up to release. Thanks peeps!

The Impact of One Person

The Impact of One Person

I am 35 years old and *people* never cease to surprise me. My trip home from Los Angeles today was a good example of this. It was a tortuous affair that should have been a quick hop from LA to Oakland, popping on BArt, and then getting home for a cup of tea and an...

Ubuntu Governance Reboot: Five Proposals

Ubuntu Governance: Reboot?

For many years Ubuntu has had a comprehensive governance structure. At the top of the tree are the Community Council (community policy) and the Technical Board (technical policy). Below those boards are sub-councils such as the IRC, Forum, and LoCo councils, and...
