After more than 3 years at Fluendo it was time for me to change and work on new projects/technologies. Elisa, now known as Moovida, has gone a long way since 2006 and I’m sure the project will continue to evolve nicely :)

At the beginning of the week I …

I’ve recently been playing with pygobject and gobject-introspection. There’s currently a GSoC project for this, Simon Van Der Linden is working on this, and I must say, progressing fast!

Simon does the work on a pygobject branch and also wrote some patches for glib.

Here’s a little …

I gave a talk about Coherence and Telepathy at Gran Canaria Desktop Summit with Frank on tuesday. It went well, there were about 50 people. I think most of the people got the concept we tried to explain: UPnP devices and services are not bound to local network anymore, thanks …

UPnP used to be bound to local network. We’re working around this with Coherence and Telepathy tubes to bridge 2 (or more) coherence instances over Jabber chatrooms. So the 2 screenshots below are a glimpse of what we will show at GDCS on the 7th of July :)

On Frank …

Long time no blog, eh? Anyway I was today hooking up Telepathy Stream Tubes with GStreamer so that I could stream video over local-xmpp, go figure why… :)

Everything was fine:

I’ll be at FOSDEM this year, arriving Friday afternoon and leaving a bit late on sunday night. Available to talk about free software and Elisa, over beers :)

Last weekend I started playing with Telepathy and its tubes in Elisa. What I prototyped is two plugins:

• a Telepathy plugin able to:
  • join a Multi-User Chatroom (over local-xmpp or standard Jabber)
  • share a set of DBus Tubes in that room
  • connect to other Tubes shared in the room and …

Frank is at it again on his quest to make Coherence conquer the GNOME desktop. This time Nautilus is part of the game, allowing the user to easily share files over UPnP and easily select a MediaRenderer to play media files.

Checkout the video on his post, it is just …

So Flumotion, sister company of Fluendo Embedded where I work, is looking for Python hackers. Thomas will be at EuroPython, so if you are interested in the available positions, be sure to get in touch with him!

Working at Fluendo is quite nice, conditions are great, people are nice and …

Anyone going to GUADEC-ES? I can’t go to GUADEC this year for various reasons… Living in Spain, I’m wondering about GUADEC-ES ;) Might be worth the trip to Madrid, which I haven’t visited yet. Maybe the occasion to do a little lightning talk about Elisa too …
