Free software and the wish to be good

By Johan Thelin | Published: 2019-09-28

The free software movement has recently been going through a lot. From the introduction of Commons Clause, to the resignation of Stallman. It seems like the mood in the air is that now is the time for a redefinition of what free and open source software actually is. My view on this is that free […]

foss-north 2019: Community Day

By Johan Thelin | Published: 2019-03-21

I don’t dare to count the days until foss-north 2019, but it is very soon. One of the changes to this year is that we expand the conference with an additional community day. The idea with the community day here is that we arrange for conference rooms all across town and invite open source projects […]

TableView and Qt 5.12 / Qt Creator 4.8

By Johan Thelin | Published: 2018-12-28

I finally got around to doing the final merge for QmlBook this year. I just merged the chapter on the brand new TableView. This let’s you show 2D data tables in an efficient way. I also merged the version upgrade, so the text should now reflect what is available from Qt 5.12 and be based […]

Merging QmlBook Contents

By Johan Thelin | Published: 2018-12-25

What better way to spend a lazy Christmas day than to merge some of the new chapters to the QmlBook? Since having updated the CI system, there is a bit of manual merging forth and back to get each new piece of contents on-line. Specifically, rebase my fork’s master to upstream/master, then rebase my working […]

By Johan Thelin | Published: 2018-12-19

Christmas is coming and a long and exciting fall is coming to and end. One of my projects during this fall has been to update the QmlBook. This was made possible by The Qt Company who generously stepped in and sponsored my work on this – thank you all! I’ve worked away during the fall […]

Video Editing for foss-gbg

By Johan Thelin | Published: 2018-11-18

Editing videos for foss-gbg and foss-north has turned into something that I do on almost a montly basis. I’ve tried a few workflows, but landed in using kdenlive and, when needed, Audacity. I’m not a very advanced audio person, so if kdenlive would incorporate basic noise reduction and a compressor, I stay within one tool. […]

Working on QML Book

By Johan Thelin | Published: 2018-10-19

Do you remember QML Book? It started as a project between me and Jürgen Bocklage-Ryannel where we tried to fix the problem that there is no QML book out there. Back in the Qt 5.2 days, we spent wrote about a year. Unfortunately, the project has mainly been sitting idle since then. I’ve poked at […]

QML Weather

By Johan Thelin | Published: 2018-10-08

I recently took some time to develop a photo frame style home automation control panel. The idea is to control some common tasks of my home assistant setup from a panel instead of having to rely on the phone. To hide the panel, it currently act as a photo frame until touched. The build is […]

Five days left

By Johan Thelin | Published: 2018-04-18

I use to joke that the last week before foss-north is the worst – everything is done, all that is left is the stress. This year, we have the broadest program yet. 25 speakers talking about everything from community policies, GPU isolation, blockchain, historical KDE software, retro computers, IoT, Android, SailfishOS, bug triaging, crowd funding, […]
