Dude, did you try sweep? Works on PPC. conrad used to be the SLUG El Presidente, and is an All Round Cool Dude.

GNOME

Got the 2.0.x
schedule and 2.1.x branching summary
done. Two rapid maintenance releases, and we’ll be most of the way to full-on 2.1.x development. The planets are aligning for some really cool stuff in GNOME 2.2, and I want to make sure that the release process works well for everyone.

Rome / Boston

Found my credit card in the mail, so the Rome/Boston trip is looking realistic - and it’s only seven days away! Have to get a bunch of stuff done for work first to satisfy both my employers and my self-directed frustrations. Stupid arthritic GAR is making it hard to concentrate and motivate. Not sure how well I’m going to be for the trip, but it would be insane to miss out on. Grr.

Normally I’d try and catch up with people overseas, but Pia will be there in Rome, and I really need to take a relaxing break. The GNOME Summit will be slightly more work-oriented (in a fun way) than farting around Italy with Pia anyway. ;-)

SLUG

People back from busy-ness, various things happening. I’m writing up a plan for the next six months or so, what I want to achieve with SLUG, and the motivational sparks required to get it going. We’re in a
comfort zone of sorts, not realising what we’ve got, nor what we can achieve. All very laid-back at the moment, hoping to light a bonfire under that inertia.

Life

Bit sore inside and out, really.
