Simple python calc addin example
The OpenOffice spreadsheet application, calc, can be extended through plugins to support new functions that can be as easily used in cell formulas as the built-in ones.
Being able to do this using my favourite language, Python, is possible, but not very well documented, so I’ve experimented a bit with it and have come up with [...]Cumpleaños de las traducciones de Nouveau
Nouveau es un proyecto para la creación de un driver libre para tarjetas gráficas NVidia. La tarea es ingente y la dificultad técnica grande, ya que el fabricante no proporciona ningún tipo de documentación sobre el funcionamiento de su harware y casi toda la información se ha tenido que obtener mediante métodos de ingeniería inversa.

These days, some people on the PyGTK mailing list have showed their disappointment with the apparent lack of support for GTK+ on the win32 platform.
As far as I can tell, the main problem lies in the lack of a convenient packaging due to lack of manpower, as the platform seems to build fine and win32 [...]Entrevista con Richard Stallman

la cultura en el siglo XIX era “regrabable”, ya que los autores creaban apoyándose en las ideas de otros. El siglo XX es de “sólo lectura”, porque la extensión del copyright -en la Constitución estadounidense de 1787 duraba 17 [...]Yay Planet Gnome!
This is my first post after being added to the planet.gnome.org feed, so, thanks to Jeff Waugh for it and to Alberto Ruiz for putting his hackergotchi skills to my service! :).
For those that don’t use to hang on the #pygtk IRC channel, I’ll briefly introduce myself.

A menudo es difícil mostrar las ventajas del software libre a aquellas personas que no han reflexionado sobre las cuestiones éticas y prácticas que planea. Frecuentemente el análisis se queda en las cuestiones prácticas iniciales y no se va más allá, pero en el blog de Javier Vázquez, de Igalia, se presenta hoy un claro [...]
Repository formats matter a lot in Mercurial
Keith Packard discusses why robust repository formats are important for any version control software.
