Hacker B-Day / Wed / Baby

On the 10th of May, Sankarshan Mukhopadhyay, one of the founder members of GNOME India and Runa Bhattacharya, one of the champion translators of the Bengali (bn) GNOME team got married. Sankarshan is also involved with the Bengali localisation effort, and is currently a member of the GNOME Foundation Membership and Elections Committee. You can send the couple congatulation messages at sankarshan-at-randomink.org and runab-at-redhat.com. Pictures of the ceremony are available here.

After the recent release of GSwitchit featured on this site there has been some talk about the need to have a complete free set of
international flags available in SVG format for many different uses, both inside and outside GNOME. We want this set of flags to be as free as possible, available in the public domain . Our friends over at Sodipodi are already of
to a great start with many flags contributed from GNOME and Sodipodu users. But we need more, so go over to the current flag gallery to see if your favourite flags still needs making. Then fire up Sodipodi and start drawing. If you are unsure about exact colours and proportions be sure to check out flagspot.net for details. When you are done send the flag(s) to sodipodi-list@lists.sourceforge.net where Bryce Harrington is sitting ready to put it up on the site. Please clearly state that you dedicating your SVG flag to the public domain.. As the collection grows we will start to put out tarballs with the complete collection. Who knows maybe we even will get featured on the Creative Commons website :)
Also please mention this article in your blogs and websites, so that as many people as possible gets to know about it, if enough people send in flags this could become a great example of the power of creative collaboration.

Update: We have now reached 158 flags and moved the flags into a new nicer looking clipart section

In less than 24 hours time, one of our favorite hackers, Mikael 'Hallski' Hallendal will get married. We would like to congratulate him, and wish him all the best for the long years of servitude ahead of him. Slainte, or as they say in little old Sweden, Skol!

The wedding took place first at the female's house and the next day at the male's house.

Hi, here are the promised pictures. it took me a week to do the page, but it was a busy week. Anyhow you can now check out the pictures from the wedding of Jirka (George) Lebl also known as _vicious_ at this place: http://www.5z.com/martin/jirkaandmarketa Happy viewing. Sincerely, Martin Lebl

Just wanted to let you know that one of the Gnome Core Developers will tie the knot this Monday around 3PM Pacific Time. You all know Jirka (George) Lebl, also known by his handle 'vicious' from many projects in the Gnome community...they are too numerous to list, but among them are Genius, GOB, work on Gnome Panel, and these days he maintains the GDM login manager. You can send him congrats at
jirka-at-5z.com if you are inclined to such things. You can blame me. (His brother for posting it here. There is just not keeping some things of the net.) I will post the pictures after, and provide linkage to them at the time.

Sincerely, Martin Lebl
