The fourth development release of upcoming Gnome 2.10 is now available.

The latest issue of The GNOME Journal has just been published. This second issue covers some technical articles, including CD/DVD creation, connecting to remote resources, and how to get help from the GNOME community. Also, will GNOME pass the Liberal Arts major test? Developer topic s are also covered, as Seth Nickell takes a look at the "Experimental Culture" surrounding GNOME development and Christian Hammond sheds light on the concept of desktop presence.

GnomeMeeting, the VoIP and IP telephony application for Linux systems, just released version 1.2. It will be the last release to support only H.323, as next release will also support SIP. The new version sports integration with Novell Evolution 2.00, PC-To-Phone calls with no additional hardware and free codecs, and Rendez-Vous support. See http://www.gnomemeeting.org for more info.

The GNOME Desktop and Developer platform 2.8.2 is now released. Announcement, changelog.

Karl Fischer takes a walk through the latest version of Gnome, version 2.8 (screenshots), to illustrate a few of the best new features of this very popular desktop environment.

This is an analysis comparing Java-Gnome and GTK#, in the source code level. Update: Screenshots from "Free Swing".

The first test version of the upcoming Gnome 2.10 is now available. In the meantime, discussion about proposed modules to join 2.10 is under way.

When on Unix/Linux I mostly use Gnome, and so here are some of the best third party GTK+ applications around I have found.

With GNOME 2.8 out the door, work on the next version, 2.10, is progressing nicely. There is some new and exciting software, and it's looking to be pretty sweet. There are still many things to be done, though, and if you want to help, there's a pretty good list with things just waiting to be done by you. Maybe even more important are the Nautilus bugs (over 1300 of them) and so its project leader is asking the community to get to work and fix as many as they can.

Gnome Desktop Environment 2.8 was released today, on schedule. Including a slew of new features and the much anticipated Evolution 2.0, Gnome 2.8 achieves several milestones. Release notes can be found here, and a number of screenshots here. In other Gnome news, a new Gnome news site, gnomejournal.org, was announced today.

Release Candidate 1 marks the start of the Hard Code Freeze, on the way towards the final GNOME 2.8 release in a couple of weeks.

This review started because I was curious about GNOME as a desktop. I wanted a live cd with GNOME so I went over to Distrowatch and found Gnoppix. ELQ's note: I have sent the Gnoppix author a proposal on how to enrich the live CD experience with more relevant, third party desktop gnome apps, but don't expect any changes before November, as the author will be busy until that time.

One and a half months after its original beta launch, GnomeFiles, our GTK+ software repository, is now proclaimed v1.0. There are a few things still to do on the Developer's section (e.g. let devs upload application icons directly to our server), but the user's front-end is now feature complete.

Gnome-Summary brings you an interview with Alex Larsson, the maintainer of gnome-vfs & Nautilus, on what's currently going on with gnome-vfs and what we could expect in the future.
