Listen to Ken Vandine talk about Foresight Linux's upcoming 2.0 version, new KDE and XFCE “flavors”, Conary, GNOME, Ubuntu, translations and more at The Linux Link Tech Show. (Episode #218)

That is what the new version of Foresight Linux will offer with its new forthcoming version 2! I heard the news from Ken (Foresight’s leader and co-worker) last night and it has been confirmed by Elliot, our Anaconda tamer. Obviously your installation time may vary depending on your system, but I’m fairly sure they’ve used a standard PC for this. Another worthy mention is the addition of PackageKit as the graphical interface for our Conary package management system and we will definitely make a big splash with the addition of the Splashy boot splash!

Isso é o que você pode esperar da nova versão do Foresight Linux que está por vir nos próximos dias! Eu escutei a noticia do Ken (lider do Foresight e meu companheiro de trabalho) ontem a noite e confirmado mais tarde pelo Elliot, nosso domador do Anaconda. Obviamente seu tempo de instalação vai variar dependendo do seu sistema, mas estou bem seguro que eles usaram um sistema padrão nestes testes. Outra novidade importante é a adição do gerente de iniciação Splashy e o PackageKit, nossa interface gráfica para o sistema de gerenciamento de pacotes Conary.

Ken has just announced the very first Conary BOF to be held at rPath this upcoming Oct. 23! If you want to learn all there is to know about the hottest technology out there, come over and talk to us!

Quick post to mention a couple of personal milestones and events: Today is my 1-year anniversary at rPath. It also marks 1 year since I stopped doing work with VB.NET/C# and PL/SQL and embarked in a brand new world of Python, and web-by programming… There is not a day that I don’t learn something new! Sept. 29th marked 1 year since I left New Jersey for North Carolina! Besides the advantages of working with such a smart bunch (see above), I now get to spend quality time with my wife and two daughters.

Um post rapidinho para anunciar alguns milestones e eventos pessoais: Hoje completo um ano trabalhando na rPath. Também completa um ano que parei de trabalhar com VB.NET/C# e PL/SQL e embarquei em um mundo novinho de Python, e pragramação com web… Não tem um dia que passa que não aprendo algo novo! Setembro 29 marcou 1 ano desde que saí de New Jersey e me mudei para North Carolina! Além das vantagens de trabalhar com uma galera super esperta (mencionado acima), eu agora posso passar mais tempo com minha esposa e duas filhas.

Tonight during our TriLUG meeting, Ken packaged Vinagre for the first time using Conary, the distributed software management system for Linux distributions. It took him literally no more than 5 minutes to write up the recipe, cook (package) it, and send it to the repository. Vinagre is a VNC client well integrated with GNOME , current being developed by Jonh Wendell. For those curious as to what the recipe for packaging it was, take a look:
