It’s alive!
I couldn’t be happier with such a nice release. Both GNOME 3.0 and the new GNOME website. It couldn’t be in better time. That’s all amazing. “Promotion of GNOME” was one third of the GNOME 3.0 plan. Relaunch a website even got an entire paragraph in The Plan® (which now can be called history). I’m [...]
Breaking the GNOME website
It has been a long time since a plan to do a new website for the GNOME Project is being rolling out (most of history around this can be found here). In 2009 I started implementing the website layout. We even had a plan to launch a beta together with GNOME 2.28. But without enough [...]
New kid on the planet
Together with a couple of other persons, I just got added to Planet GNOME. So I need to introduce myself. Hi there! I’m Vinicius Depizzol, I’m 21 years old living in Vitória — an island by the southeast coast of Brazil. Right now I’m finishing my bachelors in Design and working as an interface designer [...]
Truckloads of awesomeness
After spending 36 hours between planes and airports, I had the pleasure to participate GUADEC this year, that happened a couple of days ago in The Hague (luckily I arrived 2 days before the conference to recover myself of jet lag). This time GUADEC was located in Den Haag University, and we had a big [...]
Fórum GNOME at Foz do Iguaçu
Thanks to the GNOME Foundation, for the second consecutive year I went to Fórum GNOME, in rainy Foz do Iguaçu. (also, for the second year I had problems landing there due to the rain!). The event was together with Latinoware, the (biggest?) Latin American free software conference. Latinoware itself went a bit strange this year. [...]
Recent files Vs. Relevant files
This post could be called “Ideas for GNOME Activity Journal during Zeitgeist Hackfest” too. Every time I see a list of recent documents in some application, I never see what I am looking for. Checking the recent files on the Places menu of gnome-panel gives me nothing more than some links to pictures or text [...]

A tale about website
During the first days of July, I participated my very first GNOME European Conference, this year in Gran Canaria. It was just awesome meet the people I only knew before trough emails and IRC, and see all the Latin American Complot again! Besides the talks and discussions (and the tripping around the island!), most of [...]
Gran Canaria
I’ll be attending to my first GUADEC/GCDS in Gran Canaria during this next awesome week! This is only possible due to the financial help I got from the Travel Committee and the GNOME Foundation. Thank you! I’ll leave Vitória in about 4 hours (at 3:00 PM) and get to Las Palmas tomorrow morning. In the [...]
Hello World
I finally got a try on my new blog. The one I used to post was on wordpress.com. All the English and Portuguese posts were mixed, and I don’t write there since last January. Since I got some time ago my own domain, I decided to start a new blog from scratch. This (luckily) means [...]
