祝贺我们的成员俞莲苏加入GNOME女性拓展实习项目

北京GONME用户组的俞莲苏女士在全球众多竞争者中脱颖而出, 被选为2011年的GNOME女性拓展计划的实习生。

自2006年起,GONME基金会每年都会通过它的拓展计划提供给全球的实习生。在过去的几年里,实习生已经对GONME做出许多贡献。这些贡献包括文档编写,图形设计,还有软件开发等。

拓展计划有些类似”Google Summer of code”,它自2005年开始已经成为世界上最重要的IT实习生的计划方案。GONME拓展计划提供了类似于”Google Summer of code”的5000美元。不过不同与GSoc, 它更多地关注与鼓励女性的参与。

2011年,有8个女实习生被这个拓展计划所接受,除在”Google Summer of code”的7个女实习生将继续参与GONME工作外,俞莲苏是唯一的一个来自亚洲的实习生。

北京GONME用户组已经积极地组织了许多活动,介绍和推广GONME。北京GONME用户组特别注重国际合作.。对我们的成员俞莲苏女士被选为拓展计划方案的实习生的消息而感到高兴。

俞莲苏先前为北京GONME用户组做过组织项目,对7个公开的资源计划方案例如建立一个网站”News RSS Ticker”做出贡献。在她即将来临的实习生活期间,她将继续为GONME 做视觉识别体系和网站设计方面的工作。

和她的实习同伴们一起,俞莲苏已被邀请在即将到来的Desktop Summit – GNOME与KDE携手举办的桌面峰会上作演讲, 该会议也是GNOME每年中最重要的盛会。GNOME基金会为她此次德国之行提供了补助金。

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.

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。
