Another step for Audio/Video chat on the Linux Desktop
Audio/Video chat is the “next” big thing and a lot of people use Skype already to get that functionality on Linux without much hazzle (certainly a few use Ekiga aswell).
Just recently the popular instant messenger Pidgin joined the ranks with their 2.6 release which introduced A/V chat for Jabber (XMPP) users.
However, finally it looks like there will be a decent way on Linux to have A/V chat with the very popular MSN protocol!

Put Evolution into the tray/notification area using evolution-statusicon 1.0.0
Played around with some unmaintainable Evolution plugin called evolution-statusicon I wrote once.
Since upgrading to the latest openSUSE 11.1 release I felt it was missing badly on my desktop.
It had to be compiled within the Evolution source due to non-public header usage (e-shell stuff) which led to some problems packaging it or even distributing it outside of the main Evolution release.
Today tough, I managed to fix the requirements to compile it as a standalone EPlugin quite easily and thus pumped out a release plus corresponding packages for openSUSE.
The plugin provides a small notification area icon to show/hide/quit Evolution’s windows and comes handy if you have your favourite PIM open all the time.

iPhone Dev, OS11 repository changes and hope for OGG
So today I joined the official iPhone Developer folks. First thing you do is to download the heavy iPhone SDK which comes in a “.dmg” file as many other bundles on Mac OS X.
What do you do though when you download it in Linux and want to look into it?
