Also, my workshop proposal for #GUADEC 2026 was already accepted!

We'll build an app together using the modern GNOME platform. I'll show how the pieces fit together, and that it can be approachable, easy, & fun. And of course we'll be using #peel, my C++/GObject bindings project.

If you've been using GNOME for a while, but never got into developing apps for it, this workshop is for you 😀

(Hat tip to @deobald and @YaLTeR for suggesting this!)
