      Jack of All Trades: Embracing Versatility in a World of Specialization

      I will share my experience as a professional who has ventured into multiple fields, from iconography and sound design to cinematography and 3D animation. While some might perceive being a jack of all trades as a disadvantage, I believe that versatility can bring unique advantages in today's fast-paced and ever-evolving technology landscape.

      A Discourse on a Minority Group: GNOME Africa Community

      At the start of the global pandemic, the GNOME African community was set up with the goal of introducing Africans to the GNOME projects, onboarding newcomers, and helping them make their first contributions to open-source software, with the hope that they will stay involved in our community. As a maintainer and contributor to the GNOME Africa community, the goal of this talk is to share news about what's going on in the GNOME Africa community. Minority communities in large open source projects all have the same goal: to reach out to groups that aren't well-represented and help them become contributors and maybe even ambassadors for the projects. Has this journey been easy for us? Are there Africans who work on the GNOME project? So far, what have we learned? How can we help groups that are underrepresented in our community?

      Accessibility update: the Python stack, Rust, and DBus

      This talk continues upon the work from last year's, on the state of the accessibility infrastructure for GNOME and free systems in general. While the base C libraries continue to get cleaned up, I have started exploring the Python part of the stack.

      In terms of technology, the Python stack is in a similar state to how the C stack was: no CI, few tests that don't get run automatically, and loads of little hacks to keep it working.

      As part of all of this, I have found the perfect excuse to start replacing the DBus marshaling code in C with Rust. Come along for an exciting ride!

      Oxidizing GTK

      GTK is an old toolkit, based on an old type system written in an old language. This doesn't mean it's a lost cause, or that it cannot be updated to include more recent improvements in type systems and programming languages. In this presentation I am going to talk about how we could integrate Rust in the GTK code base, as an experiment, and what that teaches us when it comes to improving the core application development platform of the GNOME project.

      The New Printing GUIs: GNOME Control Center and Common Print Dialog Backends

      With the background of all modern printers being driverless IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) printers we are switching to an all-IPP printing architecture without classic printer drivers.

      This changes also the needs of the GUI for setting up printers and for printing itself.

      The GNOME Control Center will be able to list IPP services as available printers and not only CUPS queues and in the "Add Printer" part for setting up non-driverless printers it will also search for Printer Applications, which replace the classic CUPS drivers.

      The print dialogs will not talk directly with CUPS (and other print technologies, like cloud print services) any more, but they will use backends of the print system developers.

      In this talk we want to show the state of the art of the development of the GUIs and also demo them and in the end we will have a discussion with the audience.

      Community building and best DEI practices in Free and Open Source Communities

      As an active contributor of FLOSS projects in different countries and in the last few years specifically in Italy I have gained the experience of different communities and countries at scale; as a consequence also very different perspectives.
      In this presentation I am going to share the experience I have gained in community building in the small and newborn communities and the experience during my work for some of the same projects in Italy.
      In the Free Software environment, active communities are the key factor in bringing forward the project. Exchanging knowledge and experience among different projects is important in order to learn from one another new ways to engage the community and understand what are some factors that might influence positively within each community. I will also bring my experience on how to work with the Diversity Equity and Inclusion, as an important key for a healthy environment.

      Maintaining healthy upstream relationships as a small team

      For over a decade, the Endless OS Foundation has balanced creating new products with open source software while maintaining healthy relationships with upstream projects. Forks are inevitable, but those sustainable, long-term partnerships are immensely valuable. This presentation will explore techniques for effectively communicating upstream, fostering a culture of collaboration, and managing disagreements. Using real-world examples from our own experiences with projects like GNOME, we will highlight the benefits and challenges of thinking upstream first while building for a unique vision.

      Sending and capturing input in Wayland - a rather long journey

      In the days of yore, we had the X TEST extension which enabled any X client to pretend to be an input device. Together with the X server being happy that every client can also be a keylogger, emulating and capturing input was trivial.

      Now we have Wayland and sandboxed applications, so things are ... more tricky. But we don't want things to be tricky, so we have a library for Emulated Input (libei). Took us a while to get there, but here we are.

      This talk explains what libei is, the various layers it needs to integrate in, how this ties in with Flatpak and the compositor. And of course how it can be used from applications, so that you too can run xdotool again and pretend X has never left us.

      GNOME desktop for creativity

      While taking upon myself task of reviving and porting multitrack audio editor Jokosher to Gtk4 and libadwaita, I have started to think more and more about user experience in GNOME environment from point of view of creativity and how to make it more unified and recognizable. I want to talk about current experiences driven by existing applications (we have lot of audio and video editors, both new and old), what could be done better and how to extend defined GNOME user experience to make easier to work on creative projects.

      Reducing power and bandwidth use in apps to keep users happy

      Users who are on battery power, or using a mobile connection, can sometimes have a frustrating experience with apps which use lots of power, or keep downloading things. In some cases, this can lead to large bandwidth usage bills before the user realises.

      The GNOME platform provides ways to change app behaviour to save power and bandwidth when appropriate. This talk will go through some examples of them. The talk is aimed at app authors.

      Communication matters: a talk about how to talk online

      Online communication is hard, and it's something that everyone who participates in open source faces challenges with. Yet, communication is also important, and there is evidence that communication in open source projects has significant consequences, particularly when it comes to attracting and retaining contributors.

      The first part of this talk looks at the evidence around communication issues in open source projects, as well as what the impacts are.

      The second part addresses how we as GNOME contributors can improve our communications. It draws on communications literature and training resources to provide a summary of recommended communications practice. In doing so, it addresses how to make newcomers welcome, how to avoid discrimination, how to disagree constructively, and how to handle disputes when they happen.

      How to make a delightful app listing

      Over the years I’ve helped build an app ecosystem built on open standards, and today I work with organizations deploying computers that run Linux to dozens, hundreds, or thousands of people at a time.

      One of the recurring places I notice app developers struggling is their app’s metainfo—the structured data that forms an app’s listing across app stores including GNOME Software, Flathub on the web, KDE Discover, and more.

      Let’s fix that! In this talk, I dig into:

      • Who this talk is for
      • Why “marketing” is not a bad word
      • Where and how this metainfo actually shows up
      • Neat things you can do with metainfo
      • Examples

      You don't need to be an app developer to attend this talk, but my hope is that any app developers who do will have actionable advice for immediately making their apps more attractive in every app store on Linux.

      How to add 16.67% more users and contributors: A guide to creating accessible applications.

      The lack of accessibility to digital products and services has become a significant issue for individuals with visual impairment, limiting their access to everyday applications such as maps, online marketplaces, and mobile banking apps. Prioritizing accessibility in the development process can help break down these barriers and provide equal access to information and digital services. Ensuring accessibility to digital products can create a more equitable digital landscape and a more inclusive future for everyone. Every designer and developer can make this difference by following recommended accessibility guidelines. The role of designers and developers will be explored in this talk, along with practical tips and actionable steps to prioritize accessibility and inclusivity in the development process.

      VanillaOS - not just another distro

      Vanilla OS is an immutable and atomic Ubuntu based point release distribution.

      In the last months we announced that we are changing base, switching to Debian Sid, released as OCI image making it easier to release a desktopless version allowing the community to create non-GNOME flavors and OEMs to customize the distro with additional drivers.

      In this talk we're going to talk about the user experience idea that drives the full development of VanillaOS and the entire concept that is born from the experience on other distributions (like Fedora Silverblue with OSTree) and systems (like ChromeOS on Chromebooks).
      We're going to talk about how we aim to simplify the migration to Linux thanks the custom guided first setup and the optimized installer.

      We're going to talk about reliability, security and working modes both for office users and developers thanks to the Sub Systems.

      Building Student Communities to Foster OSS

      Establishing a culture that promotes success within student communities can be difficult, especially when you're just starting. Developing a culture that fosters growth and inclusivity while retaining diversity and fostering an environment that supports open communication and criticism while providing a platform for knowledge sharing and collaboration.

      In this talk, you'll learn what goes on behind the scenes when creating a thriving student-led community in this lecture, including how to define specific aims and objectives by concentrating on a common struggle to support students' development and how it supports their entry into OSS.

      By the end, you'll learn about how our community developed and assisted contributors from various backgrounds while maintaining respect and a healthy environment for new and existing contributors, eventually leading them to be a part of the bigger OSS community.

      Using Cloud VMs as your Personal Computer ft. GNOME

      In this talk, we will explore the use of cloud VMs as a personal computer and how cloud VMs can provide improved performance and accessibility, making them an ideal choice for remote work and collaborations.

      The talk will also highlight how cloud VMs can be particularly beneficial for new contributors looking to get started with open-source development. With a cloud VM, they can easily set up and configure their development environment without worrying about hardware limitations or compatibility issues.

      Lastly, we will discuss how using a GUI like GNOME on a cloud VM can help users access GUI applications and make their work more efficient. By leveraging GNOME's built-in tools, users can seamlessly switch between local and remote workspaces, making cloud-based development a seamless experience.

      Overall, this talk will showcase the advantages of using cloud VMs with GNOME and how they can enhance the user experience and developer onboarding.

      Toolbx: developing GNOME on OSTree based OSes

      People are rethinking how Linux distributions for client and edge devices work. There's a rough consensus around shipping the operating system as hard-to-modify OSTree images and the applications as Flatpaks. This promises painless upgrades, separation between the OS and applications, and secure cross-distribution applications. Many of these distributions are heavily reliant on GNOME and vice versa.

      GNOME OS, Fedora Silverblue and Endless OS are prominent examples, arranged in increasing order of modifications to vanilla GNOME.

      However, these OSTree-based OSes present some problems when setting up development environments. The OSTree OS images are intentionally minimal and hard to change. They don't even come with traditional package managers like APT or DNF. Hence, it's difficult to install any development tools, editors or SDKs.

      How do we use these OSes to hack on GNOME and the applications that we want people to use on them? Come to this talk to find out.

      Codename "Emergence": A RDF data synchronization framework

      With the rise of the "local first" initiative from the foundation, it is clear there is a rising interest on generic solutions that have privacy as a first goal.

      While it seems clear what this initiative entails in some domains, the elephant in the room is at the data layer, typically lent to other (perhaps decentralized) services.

      Nautilus: Sailing into new seas

      Eazel has created the Nautilus project at the turn of the millennium. The nautilus is a marine shell mollusk which has survived relatively unchanged for hundreds of millions of years, for which it's considered living fossils.

      Over 2 decades later, the GNOME Files core application still carries on the nautilus name. However, far from a living fossil, it's evolved so much that it's almost unrecognizable! Thanks to many contributors, it keeps evolving and adapting into new seas (GTK 4, flatpak, portals, mobile,...).

      Your app everywhere, just in a Snap! - Interactive Workshop

      Have you already thought about how the GNOME applications you develop get distributed to end users?

      Often developers only provide the source code. So for not so tech-savvy users the major distributions need to pick up the project and package it, and maintain it for new releases.

      This is why there is a need for distribution-independent, secure, and easy-to-use packaging, like on smartphones. This exists also for Linux ... Among the options, there is Snap! Applications are easy to find in the Snap Store and they are installable on most Linux distributions.

      We are here to introduce you to the Snap packaging format and guide you on how to create your first Snap. Hands-on exercises will be done on your laptop. We will start with simple GNOME applications and in the end we will help you snap your own application.

      For some years already CUPS is capable to print to IPP print destinations in the network (physical printers, shared CUPS queues, Printer Applications) without the need of creating a local CUPS queue with a printer driver. From CUPS 3.x on (release next year) this will even be the only way to print with CUPS, classic CUPS printer drivers will not be supported anymore.

      This requires changes in the "Printers" module of G-C-C, once listing the IPP print destination in the main view, with appropriate property and status display, config option and button to open web admin interface, ...and second, supporting Printer Applications (new format for printer drivers, emulating an IPP printer and communicating with printer hardware) in the "Add printer" dialog.

      GSoC contributor Mohit Verma has already done most of the coding for it. We will discuss on the BoF the optimization and finalization of the user interface. Up to then we will have already suggestions by Mohit, by Canonical's UI designers and done some discussion with Jakub.

      1. Separation of GTK printing API into its own project

      Matthias Clasen suggests moving the printing API of GTK (or at least most of it) into a separate library or even a separate project. Here we will discuss the advantages and shortcomings, what exactly will stay in GTK what moved out, CUPS.CPDB support, print dialog, ...
