Wow, life is busy right now. Lots of things going on, and lots of preparation for some big things. Here is whats filling my waking hours these days:
– [LUGRadio Live 2006](https://www.lugradio.org/live/2006) planning is going apace. We have pretty much everything in order now, and its good to see it solidifying. Things like art, banners, printed programmes, t-shirts, exhibitors, speakers, projectors, PA systems, LAN gaming and everything is now pretty much sorted. Its going to be awesome!
– If all goes well, [Jokosher](https://www.jokosher.org/) gets its 0.1 release on the 22nd July. Most of the bugs seem fixed and other than a few bugs in GStreamer that have been introduced with some recent fixes, we are there. Our good friends in #gstreamer are fixing those as we speak though! 🙂
– I am working to build up some autonomous teams as part of the Jokosher project. Jeff Ratliff has been doing some great work getting the [Jokosher Documentation Team](https://jokosher.python-hosting.com/wiki/DocumentationTeam) started, and we should have some great docs for the first release. Andreas Nilsson has been going [icon nuts](https://ramnet.se/~nisse/blog/?p=25), and so has Oscar. We are beginning to see the [Art Team](https://jokosher.python-hosting.com/wiki/ArtTeam) forming.
– Finishing off a PHP/MySQL book.
– Thinking more and more about the contextual desktop. The [blog post I wrote](https://archivedblog.jonobacon.com/?p=710) garnered some really awesome comments and some interesting ideas. When I get a moment for my head to breathe I am going to think about it in some more detail.
Incidentally, for you Planet GNOME people, if anyone could set up `jokosher-devel-list` and add me as the listmaster (jono AT jonobacon DOT org), that would be great. I mailed the list request email address and got nothing back, and I spoke to jdub about it, but I know he is a busy guy. Our current list has gone down and doesn’t seem to be coming back (it was on one of the developers ADSL connection), so we need a solid mailing list, particularly building up to release. Thanks peeps!
