| I'll do as you proposed and send out the application from last year. Before I do so I ask here if there are any objections. This is what I want to send out: ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- - devroom name: World of GNUstep - a collaboration of open Objective-C based projects - devroom description: participating projects: - GNUstep GNUstep is a free, object-oriented, cross-platform framework and development environment which aims at Cocoa (formerly OpenStep) API compatibility and is written in Objective-C. GNUstep provides a robust implementation of the AppKit and Foundation libraries as well as the development tools available on Cocoa, including Gorm (the InterfaceBuilder) and ProjectCenter (ProjectBuilder/Xcode). GNUstep currently supports Unix (GNU/Linux and GNU/HURD, Solaris, NetBSD, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, Darwin) and Windows. - Étoilé Étoilé is an innovative GNUstep based user environment designed from the ground up around the things people do with computers: create, collaborate, and learn. Without implementation details like files and operating-system processes polluting the computer's UI, Étoilé users will be able to: * have revision history for all objects in the system * collaborate with other people on any type of document (text, drawing, code, etc.) * shape their own workflow by combining the provided Services * use a system that is closer to their mental model of how computers should work - GAP - the GNUstep Application Project The GNUstep Application Project provides a comprehensive set of administration and user level tools to make using GNUstep based environments a very pleasant experience. Part of the charter of this project is not only to write new tools, but also to port existing NeXTSTEP/OPENSTEP/Cocoa applications to GNUstep as well. - QuantumSTEP / mySTEP QuantumSTEP is a Mac-like Application Platform that can be installed on existing mobile Linux devices (several Openmoko devices, Zaurus, Letux, ...) aiming at highest level of useage, data and application source code compatibility (to the Macintosh platform) prepared for perfect data exchange and sync. goals: - teach interested developers how to write cross platform applications or port Cocoa applications to Linux BSD and Windows using GNUstep - share news about the latest development and plans on GNUstep - improve collaboration between the several GNUstep related projects - using GNUstep to write applications for mobile devices ((e.g. the new Openmoko GTA04, older Openmoko devices, Beagleboard) - code sprints, hacking, discussing - devroom related URLs: - name of the responsible: Lars Sonchocky-Helldorf - email: - relation to the topic: Lars Sonchocky-Helldorf is a community manager for GNUstep - preferred day: [x] Saturday from 12:00 to 18:00 - comments/remarks: With the ongoing success of Apple's iOS devices interest in programming for those has grown huge. To a part this is reflected by how Objective-C, the principal language of GNUstep, has become one of the fastest growing programming languages according to http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/content/paperinfo/tpci/index.html What currently still is missing is an free and open source implementation of all of iOS' APIs. Here GNUstep comes into the game. GNUstep here has the pivotal role of offering a free implementation of the Objective-C de-facto standard frameworks "Foundation" (part of Apple's Cocoa and iOS' APIs) and "AppKit" (part of Apple's Cocoa). It enables thereby free and open source application and framework development while maintaining compatibility to recognized industrial solutions. GNUstep continues to support modern Cocoa features, including Objective-C 2.0 with the aid of the GNUstep Objective-C runtime, which supports a number of features not found in the Apple implementation. GNUstep is a good match for FOSDEM since the target audience of GNUstep is developers who want to develop cross platform (Unix, Windows, Mac) GUI or server side applications or command line tools using state of the art object oriented Frameworks. ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- did you read until here? Is the above o.k. with you? cheers, Lars Am 15.09.2012 um 12:38 schrieb Dr. H. Nikolaus Schaller:
