Congratulations to our member Yu Liansu for joining GNOME Outreach Program for Women Internships

Ms. Yu Liansu (blog, personal website) of the Beijing GNOME User Group has been selected by the GNOME Foundation to join the 2011 Outreach Program for Women Internships.

The GNOME Foundation has been offering annual global internships through its Outreach Program since 2006. In past years, student interns have made various contributions to the GNOME Project, including documentation, graphical design and software development.

The Outreach Program runs parallel to “Google Summer of Code” project, which has been the world’s most significant IT internship student program since its launch in 2005. The GNOME Outreach Program offers a similar stipend of 5,000USD as “Google Summer of Code”, although it focuses more on encouraging the participation of women.

In 2011,eight female interns were accepted by the Outreach Program, in addition to seven female student interns at Google Summer Summer of Code program who will work on the GNOME project. Yu Liansu is the only intern from Asia.

Beijing GNOME User Group has been actively organizing events, presentations and doing advocacy of GNOME Project. Beijing GNOME User Group have a special focus on International co-operation and thus we are especially happy about the news of our member being selected as Outreach Program intern.

Yu Liansu has previously worked for the Beijing GNOME User group event organization and has contributed to several open source projects such as building a website for “News RSS Ticker”. During her upcoming internship she will work on GNOME visual identity and web pages.

Along with her fellow interns,Yu Liansu has been invited to give a speech at the upcoming 2011 GNOME Summit in Germany, the most significant annual event of the GNOME Project. The GNOME Foundation kindly offered subsidy for her to travel to Germany.

GNOME 3 install-fest, Beijing

GNOME3在北京的install-fest于昨日(15 Jun )在Novell办公室举办。此次活动由bjgug的白清杰主持,并由Novell的李彬为大家介绍在OpenSuse11.4上运行GNOME3的新特 性及操作方法,由孙妍提供现场的技术支持。

我们期待GNOME3已经很久了,而GNOME3也以很fashion的面孔展示在我们面前。包括它的Activities, Search, Workspaces, Switching, Maximizing and tiling, Dash. (我因为不懂技术,只知道这些:)

以下是我根据在场人员的提问记录的几个问题:

1.关机键。当介绍到按了alt键会有关机按钮时,大家都笑了:)
2. 桌面上空间利用问题。左侧和上方的留白,让人总想把它利用起来,尤其是在显示屏越小的时候。

另外,听Amily说这次GNOME3的光盘在过中国安检时遇到很麻烦的问题,幸好有Novell的人帮忙。还有,这次发到中国的光盘共是2千张,可见中国 很多地区都在用GNOME呢。

最后感谢Novell提供场地和人员的支持,其中有几位Novell的工作师同时也是GNOME的开发者。感谢所有在场的参与者,他们包括:徐亮 Aron.xu,刚刚高中毕业的他目前在做GNOME的汉化,也是Debian的开发人员。负责Ubuntu中文化的陈悦,英语系的她从大一就开 始为社区做贡献。还有一个政府部门的开源爱好者,会上提了很多问题,对GNOME很热心。

[友邻社区活动] BLUG May meeting: GNOME 3.0 demo and openSUSE 11.4

Last meeting, Cheng Dalong was quite unlucky with his hardware failing him right before his talk preventing him from showing us all the fancy new Gnome concepts he was planning to. He will be back this month challenging Murphy’s law by illustrating a step by step “hello-world” tutorial about GNOME 3.0. For those who missed last month announcement Cheng Dalong is currently Software Engineer at Oracle’s Research and Development Centre in Beijing and his presentation is titled “Head First to GNOME Shell 3.0”. Apart from

covering the new features of GNOME 3.0 he will also introduce the philosophy behind the design. In 2010 Dalong received his bachelor in Computer Science from Beihang University and also successfully completed a project for Google Summer of Code. Cheng Dalong’s presentation is available here.

Bin Li In the second part of the meeting, Bin Li from Novell China will present one of the current distributions offering GNOME 3 by default, OpenSUSE, and all the goodies that come with it. Bin Li has been working in Novell China RD since April 2007 and maintains a couple of VPN-related packages for the distribution, as well as co-maintains the NetworkManager and avahi packages in openSUSE. Bin Li is also translator of http://cn.opensuse.org/ in Simplified Chinese.

Also note that Novell is giving away DVDs for the occasion, though as they are still at the customs right now we might use USB sticks to help people install OpenSUSE if necessary.
