A quick (and late!) recollection of what happened in Berlin during the GObject Introspection hackfest:
Travel and lodging has been sponsored by the GNOME Foundation:
Openismus hosted us at their office when the Summit was over:
Nemein invited us to a delicious fondue dinner:
And Collabora treated us to tasty Ethiopian food and flooded us in beer afterwards:
Big thanks to those companies that sent their hackers, to the volunteers that devoted their time and talent, and to the sponsors for their support.
To close, I think this was a hackfest filled with fun and that we made good progress on the stated goals, most importantly having expanded the set of people that hack on gobject-introspection.
There were constant signs of appreciation towards Berlin, its food, beer, people and bike infrastructure. Looking forward for the next one!
- Red Hat's John (J5) Palmieri worked on new releases of PyGObject and on the documentation generators.
- Prezi's Laszlo Pandy worked mainly in resurrecting Zach Goldberg's DocBook generator, merging it into master and adding important stuff to it such as description parsing and class hierarchy rendering.
- Red Hat's Colin Walters reviewed code, gave input on people's direction and answered thousands of questions.
- Syllogist's Shaun McCance added features to Mallard to match gtk-doc and worked on the DocBook and mallard generators.
- Volunteer Torsten Schönfeld worked on improvements in gobject-introspection that are needed by his Perl bindings but that will benefit other bindings as well.
- Canonical's Martin Pitt worked on server-side GDBus support in PyGObject and some improvements trickled to gobject-introspection.
- Igalia's Guillaume Emont worked on adding default values to typelibs, #558620.
- Codethink's Richard Dale worked on GObject-Consume, making it much easier to consume GObject-based APIs from Qt.
- KDE volunteer Arno Rehn worked along with Richard on GObject-Consume.
- Volunteer Johan Dahlin, as one of the maintainers, also supported all others, added missing information to the .gir files and hacked on the DocBook generator.
- OLPC's Simon Schampijer worked on porting Sugar to use introspection instead of the static bindings.
- Volunteer Pavel Holejsovsky couldn't be with us in Berlin but hacked along in #introspection adding stuff to gobject-introspection that his advanced Lua bindings were already needing.
- Collabora's Tomeu Vizoso worked on the documentation generators and on the train back home rebased them to use Mako templates.
