End of the hackfest

The IM, Contacts & Social hackfest is over and people are variously heading back to their respective corners of the world. A lot of good discussion was had, and I think everyone's got a clearer vision of where we need to be with IMs and contacts and what needs to be done to get there.

Travis, Raúl and I clarified a lot of the changes needed to libfolks for this shiny new future, and while I didn't get as much hacking done as I would've liked, there's plenty of time for that later.

Thanks to Collabora for providing space for the hackfest and sponsoring plenty of food, the GNOME Foundation for enabling the hackfest to happen, and Nyan cat for entertaining Bastien.

IM, Contacts & Social hackfest

I'll be heading along to the IM, Contacts & Social hackfest next week at Collabora's offices. There, a plan for world domination by libfolks will be forged, along with plotting around GNOME's new SSO overlord system and work on the much-awaited GNOME Contacts.

Should be fun!

Relatedly, I've just released libgdata 0.9.0, which has sprouted support for OAuth 1.0 — so hopefully some GNOME Online Accounts goodness will soon make it into Evolution's Google Contacts and Calendar backends.
