		<title>What our Trainees Learn</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After our successful year of training at Openismus, I thought I&#8217;d publish the rough bullet-point list that we used. Whoever we choose for the following year will repeat much the same process, with in-depth critique and a dose of reality.
These were our overall aims:

Familiarity with the programming languages, toolkits, and tools, beyond the average.
Good quality [...]]]></description>

		<title>Openismus Wants More Trainees</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A little over a year ago, we hired our first batch of Openismus trainees. After an intensive year gaining knowledge and experience, I&#8217;m proud to say that David King and Michael Hasselmann have now graduated to regular work on customer projects. They&#8217;ve become solid developers in whom we have confidence, thanks to mentoring from all [...]]]></description>

		<title>Glom 1.13/14 using boost::python</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Finally Figured Out boost::python
After lots of experimentation and two previous failed attempts, Glom now uses boost::python, with very little use of the nasty Python C API remaining. This should make it easier to add Python API to easily access and set field/record/table/database details from the Python that&#8217;s used in calculated fields or button scripts.
Useful Things [...]]]></description>

		<title>Openismus Website Now More Shiny</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Daniel Borgmann has prettied up our Openismus website a little. The small touches make it easier on the eye. It&#8217;s no longer so adaptable to every screen size or font size, but it&#8217;s still relatively simple. It wasn&#8217;t us who broke the web, though we tried not to break it more.
Daniel would have liked to [...]]]></description>

		<title>In Helsinki at the weekend, Monday and Tuesday</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Liam says &#8220;broombroom soon Stinky Mama Papa mit&#8221;.
That means that we will be flying in an airplane on Friday to Helsinki. I&#8217;ll be around for work stuff on Monday and Tuesday too. Most afternoons are planned out already, and evenings are generally difficult with a child, but I hope to see random Nokia/Maemo people, maybe [...]]]></description>

		<title>GtkToolPalette in GTK+ 2.20</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We (Openismus) recently got our GtkToolPalette widget into GTK+&#8217;s git master, to be seen in recent GTK+ 2.19 (unstable) tarballs. We haven&#8217;t had much extra time for this kind of thing, so I&#8217;m glad it&#8217;s finally done after being worked on now and then by Mathias Hasselmann, Jan Arne Petersen and Johannes Schmid. Thanks to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Peter Penz Joining Openismus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m pleased to say that Peter Penz will become an Openismus employee at the start of February. I&#8217;ve known and liked Peter since I worked with him six years ago in Linz, Austria on a proprietary C++ mobile phone platform. Back then I was impressed with his skill and temperament so I&#8217;ve watched with interest [...]]]></description>

		<title>Liam at Two</title>
		<description><![CDATA[December&#8217;s long season of presents is over and Liam is now two years old.

He&#8217;s recently started the famous language explosion, learning several new words each day. He&#8217;s obviously aware that he speaks two languages, now learning to say both words instead of preferring the first one he&#8217;d learned. He still prefers hand gestures where he [...]]]></description>

		<title>Trying to use gnuplot in massif_grapher</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been trying to use gnuplot instead of Gd::Chart in my massif_grapher script, mostly just so it can generate zoomable postscript or SVG output.
I first tried using the Chart::Gnuplot perl API, but after a very helpful email conversation with its maintainer Ka-Wai Mak, we found that it cannot yet be used to create gnuplot&#8217;s &#8220;rowstacked&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<title>LDTP in jhbuild: A Cry For Help</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Glom has lots of code, lots of functionality and lots of UI. It&#8217;s easy to break things when making changes to the code. So Armin set up some initial Glom LDTP python scripts to check for regressions. These scripts try to actually use the UI and then check that the application worked as expected.
I&#8217;m sure [...]]]></description>
