Neste episódio, depois de semanas de muito suor, sangue e lágrimas (todas minhas, te garanto), consegui finalmente raptar o Diego Búrigo Zacarão, desenvolvedor líder do projeto Transifex, uma ferramente que nasceu durante uma das edições do Google Summer of Code. Durante nosso bate-papo o Diego explica como que ele, um garoto que preferia brincar na rua e bater bola, veio a aprender a gostar de computadores, entrou no projeto Fedora e hoje é membro do Fedora Localization Project Steering Committee – FLSCo e do Fedora Localization Infrastructure Team.

With all the blog posts, newsfeeds and social media channels abuzz with the latest and greatest releases these past 2 days I just wanted to take the time to add one more thank you note: Thank You all developers, translators, document writers, graphic designers, bug trackers, release engineers and everyone else involved in working directly with the upstream projects and for making all of the moving pieces that compose a Linux distribution readily available for anyone to use!

Neste último episódio tive um bate-papo super divertido com o Murilo Queiroz, sobre “Em Busca dos Tesouros”, um joguinho de computador feito por um garoto Brasileiro de 16 anos há mais de 20 anos, e como que um passeio por um museo em Londres foi o catalista de uma nova amizade. Também conversamos sobre microcomputadores como o TK-85, ZX-81 e open source nos anos 80! Confira!

For a while Foresight Linux users had no graphical interface for managing their systems packages and/or updates, mainly because the development for the conary backend fell out of scope and our radar (this is a nicer way to say that we didn’t have someone to maintain it). But thanks to the work of zodman, jesse and others PackageKit is making its way back to our desktop.

My employer is currently looking for a Platform Engineer to join our team at our new office in Raleigh, NC! We have a great team working on some really cool and bleeding edge technology here, so if you have significant system administration experience, and have experience creating and maintaining RPMs as well as understanding their dependencies, then you may consider us! Check the full description for this role here and feel free to shoot me your CV.

First off, congratulations to everyone involved in the release of GNOME 3.0! In the past, my contributions were mostly related to translating applications to Brazilian Portuguese, but my role on that front was very minimal this time and consisted of a handful of translations and several commits of the awesome work done by others. Most of my contributions for 3.0 are related to the work I do for the GNOME Foundation Board of Directors, but I won’t bore you to tears!

Desta vez tive o prazer de conversar com a Luciana Fujii Pontelo, uma das brasileiras que participou do GNOME Women Outreach Program! Neste episódio conversamos um pouco sobre o programa, a “responsabilidade” em representar mulheres no mundo do software livre e fonte de inspirações. Dê uma conferida!

Now that you have downloaded and installed the latest Foresight Linux 2.5 release, here are a couple of things you may want to do: Update Your System: Since Foresight has a rolling release schedule, we already have updates for you, including and newer MPlayer with support for Blue-Ray!  Run sudo conary updateall Install Chromium web browser: Try this pretty cool web browser made by Google.

At last, after a long hiatus, I can shout out for the whole world to hear: Foresight Linux 2.5.0 is out and about! This is our first official release in almost 2 years (2.1.1 was released May 15th, 2009!!!) and it is filled to the brim with the very latest stable applications out there! A lot of work, sweat, and tears by a lot of different people went into getting this release out the door, and to all of you out there who stood by us through thick and thin, I thank you and salute you!
