Just saw this news which was posted a few days ago: http://www.muktware.com/articles/3154/ubuntu-appstore-goes-onlineSeems like Ubuntu also have follow suit in the online appstore conceptFor Fedora or PackageKit-powered-distros users, AppRepo project might be of interest to you, which, coincidentally, launched a couple of weeks before the Ubuntu App Directory article above.

Local behavior support for Dexterity

Published on 2011-12-26 00:47:00

Just created this: https://github.com/inigoconsulting/collective.localbehaviorBack in MyGOSSCon, Dylan Jay of Pretaweb mentioned about his discussion on getting rid of content type concept altogether and replace it with just Deco type.It sounds to me a lot like having local behavior for Dexterity, where each content may have its own set of behaviors assigned.

gpk-install-catalog: a gem which is somewhat hidden

Published on 2011-12-21 21:45:00

Just discovered this: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/14/html/Software_Management_Guide/ch09s03.htmlApparently PackageKit have a format for describing how to install multiple packages.[PackageKit Catalog]InstallPackages(fedora)=packagename1;packagename2;This fits my usecase for AppRepo very very well. Should I discovered this earlier, I would have started coding AppRepo way back, but what made me procrastinate was the lack of easy way to tell the user's system what packages should be

I discovered about openid-selector from this blog post. However, I dislike the patching code from svn idea so I integrated it using only javascript hacks instead. Probably better to be refactored to separate collective plugin. Demo here: http://campuscamp.org/loginFork the code: https://github.com/kagesenshi/diazotheme.bootstrap - Izhar Firdaus -

Published on 2011-11-27 22:26:00

I just saw the posts by Martijn Faassen related to Obviel, I was quite busy this past month that I did not notice them, and due to my mail filters I also didn't notice I was added into the obviel googlegroup. (Sorry Martijn >.<)Anyway, a year ago until a few months back, I was working with Martijn for his client project. It was a pleasure working with him and I learnt quite a lot from him. In the project, we utilize a pattern to allow us to write dynamic site using javascript for the front
