<p>I spent the weekend in Berlin with some of the other <a href="http://www.advogato.org/proj/gtkmm/">gtkmm</a> hackers. It was worth meeting people in person - it's very difficult to guess peoples' personalities otherwise. <a href="http://www.advogato.org/person/danielk/">danielk</a> seems to be back with us, but now finds it almost impossible to understand me face to face. It's a good thing that we communicate so well online. I also met <a href="http://www.advogato.org/person/cactus/">cactus</a> again, who I'm really beginning to like because he laughs at my jokes. And Christof Pettig, who explained how <a href="http://www.advogato.org/proj/glademm/">glademm</a> is actually a good thing. He seems to use <a href="http://www.advogato.org/proj/gtkmm/">gtkmm</a> for lots of in-house stuff at work. For a settled family man, he also has a bizarre but harmless interest in those DnD-style boardgames. Andreas Holzmann, who is official maintainer of libgnomecanvasmm, has the confidence to say very little until necessary, or maybe he just has problems with my English too. He's also lucky enough to be using <a href="http://www.advogato.org/proj/gtkmm/">gtkmm</a> in a paid job. I didn't know Sebastian Rittau very well before but he seems like a nice, energetic, guy, involved in regular <a href="http://www.advogato.org/proj/GNOME/">GNOME</a> as well as just <a href="http://www.advogato.org/proj/gtkmm/">gtkmm</a>. He really saved us by suggesting the <a href="http://www.old-emerald-isle.de/">Old Emerald Isle pub</a> as a meeting place.

cactus and I were also able to announce that the separate orbitcpp C++ CORBA mapping for ORBit2 now works. thanks to markmc's efforts. And I just got libbonobouimm working with it. The C++-in-ORBit-itself idea didn't happen in the end but it's working fine as a separate module. As soon as a release of ORBit2 HEAD […]
