On August 15, 1997, @Migueldeicaza announced the start of GNOME on the GTK mailing list¹. Twenty-eight years later a lot has changed, but we continue to develop and iterate on “a free and complete set of user friendly applications and desktop tools… based entirely on free software.”

To help us continue this work far into the future, we hope you join us in celebrating our birthday by becoming a Friend of GNOME today! 🎂

First day back at work since GUADEC. Now where did I put that shovel for my email….
I was in Warsaw this week for the 3rd time. When traveling, one of the things I obsess over is stickers in public spaces like transport infra, traffic signs..I've noticed lots of underground communities choosing "call to action" rather than logos/brand. We do lots of logo stickers in foss but not a lot of call to action. I see the value of showing love to your upstream project but we should also have stickers that start convos and spark curiosity about what we're building. Any examples of that?

At a cozy osteria for dinner
Me: I never thought I'd be listening to Billy Joel in Italy.
@blandford : what if they play Scenes From an Italian Restaurant?
Me: …

While we had both ordered wine (one white and one red), it was just a glass each and not full bottles. And we are nothing like Brenda or Eddie 😜

Waitress: any decisions on dessert?
Me: how big is the tiramisu
(Waitress gestures with her hands about six inch square)
Me: oh! That's too much. I can't possib-
Waitress: No. It's not too much. There's no such thing as too much tiramisu.

Reader: it was too much. But definitely a light-hearted moment that made my day.

After spending multiple hours being a tourist looking at church frescoes
Me: I could use a break. Time for a gelato or coffee break?
@blandford : why not both?

Cheers to whoever invented the affogato! #MustRememberToLookThatUp
