Bugslashed Tomboy 0.9.7 released

I just rolled a new Tomboy 0.9.7 tarball which includes a LOT of bugfixes.

Kudos to everyone who participated in our Bugslashing Day (which kind of extended over the weekend). We reviewed/closed 40+ bugs and committed 20+ fixes!

Thanks, btw, for the good laughs along the way. This summed it up pretty well, I thought:

"I've never written a kernel before, but I'm working on replacing Linux. I'm using Visual Basic, and so far I've got a window on the screen. Can anyone help me out?" -Ian

For openSUSE 10.3-ers (a 1click install):

Tomboy Bugslashing Tomorrow (Friday)

If you hadn't noticed already, the list of Tomboy bugs have been piling up like mad! Unfortunately, we haven't had a lot of time lately to keep on top of them. With the GNOME 2.22 deadlines (hard code freeze on March 3rd), we need to get our act together.

TOMORROW (Friday, 22 Feb 2008) we're gonna attempt to knock away as many as we can. If you have a spare moment to help out with the effort, please join us in #tomboy on gimpnet tomorrow. Submit as many fixes, test out patches, comment on bugs, whatever you can do to help!

Tasky cracks the whip!

Novell's HackWeek #2 (Feb. 11 - 15, 2008) provided me with many late and sleep-deprived nights. The end result? Tasky!

Tasky is a simple task management application for the Linux Desktop, written in what's becoming my favorite language C#. By default, Tasky hooks up with your Remember the Milk account and allows you to quickly add/edit/complete your tasks right from your desktop in a much more intuitive way than the browser.

Tarballs, source code, screenshots, and additional information about Tasky can be found here:

Another little goodie some of you might like, is a proof-of-concept Tomboy Add-in for Tasky. You'll find it in the root directory of Tasky's source code. It will apply to Tomboy's latest SVN (trunk). To apply the patch, `cd` into Tomboy's root project directory and type:

patch -p0 < tomboy-tasky-addin.patch

Recompile Tomboy, `make install` and you should be good to go. You may have to kill a running tomboy process if you're running as a panel applet. Additionally, you may need to `rm -rf ~/.tomboy/addin*` to clear out any old Mono.Addin stuff so Tomboy will pick up the new add-in.

Last but not least, a 1-click install for those of you running openSUSE 10.3:
