Tasque at Novell BrainShare '08

For anyone who missed seeing Tasque in person at Novell BrainShare '08, you can now see the video demo where Calvin and I showed it off. Click here to see it on Google Video or here for the Real Video.

For a complete listing of videos from BrainShare, go to the General Sessions page and click on the videos tab. Tasque was part of the OPS (Friday) keynote session.

Tasky is now Tasque

Many of you probably know, but just in case you didn't, "Tasky" has been renamed to "Tasque." We're still waiting for a proper Bugzilla and mailing list hosted by GNOME. Until then, you can get more information about the project at http://live.gnome.org/Tasque and join us in #tasque on GimpNet.

Yesterday, Calvin and I showed Tasque to the Brainshare '08 crowd at Friday's General Session. Tasque performed flawlessly. Calvin wrote up an excellent summary of how it went.

Earlier this week, we created a "cache" branch in SVN where we've started work to have the UI work directly against data stored locally in an SQLite DB. This will allow tasks to be accessed and modified without a network connection. The interface that backends (like RTM, Evolution, or Novell T+C) will implement should be much easier since they'll no longer have to manage a TreeModel.

Tomboy 0.9.8 Released

Just wanted to post a quick blurb about Tomboy 0.9.8...it's available and we're now in Hard Code Freeze. It seems to be pretty stable, which should line up nicely for next week. Only documentation and translation updates are allowed now in SVN Trunk until next Monday (March 10, 2008).

If you have time to help out with updating the screenshots and/or writing some documentation about the new Notebooks feature, please contact me. We've got to get something done ASAP!

Complete release notes can be found in the announcement I made in the mailing list.
