debian lists

Last months I’ve being doing some tasks in order to become a Debian Maintainer.

First, because of some requirements at work, I have being repackaging some pieces of software so I’ve learned about the Debian packages architecture. Once I was confident with what I was doing and I needed to know more about customizing a package (not just rebuilding one) I read the Debian New Maintainers’ Guide and the Debian Policy Manual, I made some new packages and subscribe myself to the Debian mailing lists I thought they would be profitable.

Some weeks after that I realized the amount of mails I was receiving was so huge that I hadn’t the time to even skim them in order to read the interesting ones so I desubscribe myself from the lists I knew I wasn’t going to read ever.

Indeed, some weeks ago, the amount of mails received from the lists I thought I could read was so big that now I’m starting to think of desubscribing myself from all the mailing lists but the mentors one.

In the end, I’ve not found the time needed to start the race to become a Debian Maintainer. I think the dedication needed is so high that I should spend a cople of hours everyday.

I hope I could find an orphaned package interesting enough to give me the energy to retry to be a Debian Maintainer ;-).

Planet Igalia

Today, I’ve wasted some time drawing a new logo for planet.igalia.com. Yeah, at Igalia, we have installed a new site to sindicate all the blogs in which our developers are writing.

Because of our name, we have been ever related to the Asterix & Obelix iconography, and, because of our place in the world, Galicia, we have deep roots in Celtic culture. That’s why I’ve drawn a «palloza», this typical house made of stone and straw.

I’ve also drawn a second version with 4 satellites surrounding our loved Igalia planet. It was inspired by alex and tries to represent the four roman campments which sourrands Asterix’ town. I’ve to say that the four different colours were taken from the MS Windows flag ;-). You could take a look at it in my Flickr page, if you want.

Finally, I’ve also created a favicon for planet.igalia.com with this picture and uploaded to our site. I’ve no asked to anybody for their agreement because I know we would start a new design tastes war as we were used to have, so, critics are welcome but not heared :-D.

Next job, drawing hackergotchies!!

Enjoy!!!

Hi all!!

I’m just unpacking my new blog. I’ve compromised to write a bit every week about me and all the stuff we’re developing at Igalia. Hightlights would be my efforts to become a Debian developer, work on Gnome, Fisterra, Mono and Thin Clients related things.

You’re quite wellcome to write any comment you want.

P.S.: Please, excuse me for my english :-p.
