Anyone familiar with hacking on GNOME Shell or writing Shell extensions interested in helping with a design experiment? 
The GNOME design team is interested in exploring some improvements to window/app switching, but we want to make sure we actually *use* the concepts before making too many assumptions. I may write up a longer blog post or something going into more of the thinking behind the design we’re exploring—but in the meantime: anyone interested in helping out? 
After a brief drama, the developer of Dash to Panel is stepping down, raising concerns about the future of this widely used GNOME extension.

Last week, I improved Papers' code around link previews. You'll get in Papers upcoming release. Want me to tease what to get in 49?
We were meeting, as we regularly do:
So, at the same time, @FineFindus, sitting across from me … completely rewrote the thumbnailer … of course in Rust.
All that, while @pabloyoyoista worked on improvements for the context menu for annotations. (Based on @tbernard's¹ great mock-ups for it.)

Happy gnome calculator outage day to all who celebrate.
Does anybody you know in the FOSS world is involved in some Foundation or Association for a project in Belgium or The Netherlands. I'd love to hear your experience! At @postmarketOS we are looking into starting a legal entity, and we are still pondering pros and cons of different options (https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/postmarketOS/postmarketos/-/issues/75#note_473084) We already got lots of feedback from German e.V. and a Spanish Foundation is likely a no-go.
Are you doing something cool with GTK or the GNOME application development platform? Do you want to talk about it in front of the GNOME community? Then you have until March 16 to submit a talk proposal for GUADEC 2025!
Made some progress in investigating the likely cause of slowness for some #GNOMECalendar users who have a metric shitton of events to display: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/issues/1381#note_2375819
I want to create a space in #GNOME for exchanging information and ideas about organizing workshops and other events, and onboarding new contributors to such activities.
Here are past events that could be scaled up to other regions around the world, and that could serve as a starting point to develop more ideas:

Who would be interested? I would love to have more of these activities, and I think they are really important for the project!
Next weekend we're having another edition of #BoilingTheOcean (back to the og name, by popular demand)! Topics include, as usual, GNOME, Linux Mobile, and local-first. This time we'll bring a working version of Aardvark to take notes :)
Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th, from 12:00 onwards

I may not be the coolest cat in town but mine still love to hang out with me while programming.

"More Than Code: Outreachy GNOME Experience" by @gnome's @outreachy intern Adetoye Anointing.

so yes the rumors are correct (this was leaked on reddit a few days ago, oh well)
the #FLX1 will be getting support for hooking up to external displays. the difference here compared to other approaches is that it will be running full #GNOME shell instead of #Phosh desktop mode (with some integration). as much as we love Phosh, GNOME shell simply provides a superior experience on a large display (and our community members voted for this too)
