A few weeks ago, I published a small webcam viewer script written in python using GTK+ and Gstreamer. Rich submitted in a comment some nice enhancements to the code while keeping it under 200 lines: the ability to record videos from your webcam, in high and low quality, and with sound! Good job!
That may be […]
… when you are beginning to see that many spontaneous user fanwork! (don’t worry, just invented this word) Here are the latest I encountered:
And a pretty cool promotion website here.
because I believe a summer-of-code-like event is the next logical step after Ubuntu Brainstorm.
because I think a good developer documentation center would help much for new and “foreign”(others OS) developers.
We are now two days before the final release of Ubuntu 8.04, and the candidate CD images are already here and need testing! Help us make sure they are critical-bug-free by following these instructions.
… I stumble across this strip:
Man I love the Xkcd webcomic!
(Original strip location: http://xkcd.com/149/)
As you may know, we are getting close to the release of the next LTS version of Ubuntu, Hardy Heron 8.04! The release candidate is due thursday, and the final release the next week.
And in these last development days, you can help to polish it! Testers are needed to test the daily images builds, either […]
Just a quick link to a nice weekly pick of Brainstorm ideas.
Since I started hacking with python a few months ago, I never stopped being amazed by its power.
Wanna display you webcam video on a very simple GTK+ app? Less than one hundred lines, thanks to pygst (gstreamer) and pygtk!
#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys, os
import pygtk, gtk, gobject
import pygst
pygst.require(”0.10″)
import gst
class GTK_Main:
def __init__(self):
window = gtk.Window(gtk.WINDOW_TOPLEVEL)
window.set_title(”Webcam-Viewer”)
window.set_default_size(500, 400)
window.connect(”destroy”, gtk.main_quit, “WM […]
Facts:
Brainstorm is full of ideas
There are not enough contributors for all these ideas.
There are lots of potential and interested contributors that does not know how to start (that’s the hardest step, remember when you started!). We can see that for example in this idea.
Question: How to take advantage of Brainstorm popularity and idea pool to […]
Apple claimed the new Gnome Cheese is infringing a Apple patent concerning image editing, acquisition, and viewing. ?!. The author was asked to remove the code within 5 days. !!. Apple, WTF??

Will this crazy and dumb all-patenting system ever end??
[Edit: of course, there is a chance of an April fools joke. Pretty tasteless if this […]
