Zaheer found a nice python script that brings Python powered Wiimote support into Xorg via PyBluez. That’s awesome, I will now be able to drive Elisa using that smart device, just need to actually buy one and also a bluetooth dongle ;)

It’s been 4 months since the first alpha release of Elisa, the Python/GStreamer/OpenGL MediaCenter developped by Fluendo. It was time for a fresh release :)

Since GUADEC we’ve been working on separating the rendering, widget and animation frameworks in a separate project named Pigment. It’s hard …
