Well, things went a bit quiet in the election over reading week, but they’re going to hot up today as I, and the other three candidates, are introduced to students at the Midlands Centre for Youth Ministry and some of the students from Partner Churches. (We’ll then do the same with a different group of …

On the factory floor
Well, I like AJ’s response to my query about the partitioner in Beta5, so I think I’m dropping 10.0 (and with it support for it within usr-local-bin). Thing is that I’ve run out of CDs to burn, so I need to pick up a fresh spool before doing the install. (Chuckle!)

SUSE 10.0 with supplementary GNOME is b0rked – switch to Factory?
Thinking about switching my laptop to Factory, and while this potentially screws up my package building (certainly means no more usr local bin packages for 10.0) I’ve been getting really frustrated with using 10.0 with the supplementary GNOME packages. My big problem is bug #152399. At the moment whenever I want to upgrade, I’m having …

Xgl
Well, I installed Xgl this morning, using the instructions found here (also updated it to have the correct versions of packages it links to) and I have to say it simply rocks my socks. Might have to add a note to that page about having to manually edit gdm.conf but otherwise, went very smoothly. One …

Banshee
Banshee 0.10.6 is out, and you can get packages for SUSE from the usual place (updated ipod-sharp packages too). College reading week this week, and I have a 1,500 word reflection to write by Thursday – shouldn’t be a prob. Also on my TODO list for this week: Finally update the full GStreamer 0.10 stack …

Nominated
Today I was nominated for Student President, and so the campaign really began this afternoon. Posters have gone up, and manifestos made available. Have spent a fair amount of time pressing the flesh as well. Tomorrow’s my mother’s birthday, and since I know she reads my blog, Happy Birthday Mum!

Elections
It’s time again for college elections, and hopefully by the end of this week I will have my nomination in for student president, along with Jenny and Chris who are already nominated. I’ve launched my campaign website, and my literature is ready for deployment at college.

Saturday
Uploaded new banshee (0.10.5) and gimp-unstable (2.3.7) packages. Note the change in package name from gimp-beta – this is to match the SUSE nomenclature for this package. Tonight is the College Revue, with myself and Marc as comperes. Reckon it should be a good night, and will hopefully have photos available after the event.
