Glimmer DSL for LibUI Custom Shapes

by
Glimmer DSL for LibUI 0.10.1 & 0.10.0 ship with support for building and scaffolding Area Canvas Graphics Custom Shapes (with optional Gemification). Custom shapes represent higher-order graphical concepts, like cube, cylinder, and uml_class, that could be formed out of more rudimentary shapes like rectangle, circle, bezier, and text, to aggregate and simplify interaction with them as coarse-grained components in a desktop application. Custom Shapes improve productivity significantly through code reuse in graphical desktop applications that rely on Area Canvas Graphics, like UML Diagramming tools, Traffic Control Signalling apps, and games… https://andymaleh.blogspot.com/2023/10/glimmer-dsl-for-libui-custom-shapes.html

“An important aspect of Perses strategy is the foundational open source path. Perses is already a project under the Linux Foundation, which means it does not belong to Amadeus or any of the other contributing companies, but to the vendor-neutral foundation, and under its governance. Furthermore, Perses’s end goal is to join the Cloud Native Computing […]

A new accessibility architecture for modern free desktops

by
My name is Matt Campbell, and I’m delighted to announce that I’m joining the GNOME accessibility team to develop a new accessibility architecture. After providing some brief background information on myself, I’ll describe what’s wrong with the current Linux desktop accessibility architecture, including a design flaw that has plagued assistive technology developers and users on multiple platforms, including GNOME, for decades. Then I’ll describe how two of the three current browser engines have solved this problem in their internal accessibility implementations, and discuss my proposal to extend this solution to a next-generation accessibility architecture for GNOME and other free desktops. No clever quips or snarky nonsense – just read the proposal, and contribute if you can.
