<strong>The</strong> <strong>GNOME</strong> <strong>Conference</strong><br />
After Hours Workshops<br />
Opening <strong>GNOME</strong> to New Contributors<br />
<strong>The</strong> goal of this debate is to try to face one of our big<br />
problems: the apparent difficulty for new people to join the<br />
<strong>GNOME</strong> projet. We'll talk about all the problems seen from<br />
outside, and about the ideas to solve this.<br />
Elijah Elijah Newren<br />
Elijah Newren is a doctoral student in mathematics (studying<br />
computational biofluid dynamics) with an unhealthy addiction to Gnome.<br />
He got sucked in by one of Luis Villa's Bug Days many years ago, and<br />
has been trying to draw others into this amazing Gnome community<br />
with him ever since. He serves as a bugmaster, a co-maintainer for<br />
libwnck and metacity, and as a release team member; he has also<br />
dabbled in a bunch of other Gnome projects.<br />
Beagle BOF/Hackfest<br />
<strong>The</strong> purpose of this session is an informal get together for<br />
people interested in developing Beagle or integrating<br />
Beagle search in their applications. Joe will provide a quick<br />
tutorial of how to write a Beagle-enabled application and<br />
answer any questions about the project, code, or its<br />
direction.<br />
Joe Shaw<br />
Joe Shaw has been hacking on <strong>GNOME</strong> and <strong>GNOME</strong>-related program<br />
activities since 1998. In 2000, he joined Ximian and today works in the<br />
Linux Desktop Group at Novell. Joe has hacked on dozens of different<br />
<strong>GNOME</strong> modules and was an early contributor to freedesktop.org<br />
projects like D-BUS and HAL. Directly related to his work on HAL, with<br />
Robert Love he created <strong>Project</strong> Utopia: an initiative to make hardware<br />
integration with <strong>GNOME</strong> seamless, the fruits of which can be seen today<br />
with <strong>GNOME</strong>'s excellent handling of removable media, autodetection of<br />
printers, and integration with power management. Joe was one of the<br />
developers of Dashboard, and today he is the maintainer of Beagle, a<br />
Linux desktop search infrastructure that will change your life. Joe enjoys<br />
writing about himself in the third person.<br />
