PHP and GObject Introspection

GObject Introspection is one of the hidden jewels of the GNOME stack : you write a library in C or Vala , and it becomes automatically available to a wide variety of languages and runtimes, including Python , JavaScript , Java and Qt . Now I would like to bring GObject Introspection to PHP. Why?

The Web comes to GNOME, ready or not

Last week, together with GNOME 3.0 , we released Epiphany 3.0. This is the result of many months of work (our last stable release was Epiphany 2.30 in May 2010), so I think a few lines about our present and our future are in order.

WebKitGTK+ hackfest 2010

After  the daily reports written by Diego in  his blog , few more things can be told about the  WebKitGTK+ hackfest hosted at the  Igalia offices last week, but I’d like to comment anyway some impressions from my personal point of view, if you don’t mind reading them. First of all, this was the second time I attended to this hackfest (I “kind of” attended  last year hackfest as well) but now things were pretty different for me, basically because one year ago I was not part of the Igalia WebKit team yet, hence my contributions in the hackfest were pretty small (see my post back then for more details)
