I’m pleased to release a new version of dietsplash.  This is the first announcement for dietsplash, though it has always been open source software. Here it is, dietsplash 0.3.

dietsplash is a small boot splash screen for Linux. Its aim is to do the minimal work possible so you can see your system booting without getting bored about the messages going on (or better, your client doesn’t complain to you that it’s ugly to see all those messages). Its main target is embedded systems, where running a full/big splash like plymouth is an overkill. Special …

As some of you know, I’m working on some open source projects at ProFUSION. Among them there are two projects started by Intel that are now part of Meego. If you look at Meego Architecture you’ll see these components are a great part of the Communications domain.

This post is just forward of an amazing documentary I saw today. It’s Arduino The Documentary. How open source hardware became cheap and fun. It’s worth watching all its 27min.

This is the first of a series of posts that I’m planning to do using basic examples in EFL, the Enlightenment Foundation Libraries. You may have heard that EFL is reaching its 1.0 release. Instead of starting from the very beginning with the basic functions of these libraries, I decided to go the opposite way, showing the fun stuff that is possible to do. Since I’m also an WebKit developer, let’s put the best of both softwares together and have a basic window rendering a webpage.

Before starting off, just some remarks:
