FAD PUNE 2010
So this weekend we had FAD Pune 2010. Being organizer the main issue was to get inside the office before everyone else :)
- Packaged accessx ( with help from Sayamindu to patch it for Fedora)
- Updated code in Pony so that it works with new flickrapi API (committed but not pushed yet)
- Now we have cover images in Pathagar , the digital library system.
- Helped people with packaging
OLPC Pune meet and photo management
This Sunday I went to OLPC Pune meet to give a talk on activity development. The students seem be very enthusiastic. The talk lasted for around 2 hours. Photos can be found here.
On the other side, I was looking for a photo catalogue software which can catalogue my photos on DVD or any other removable media, it should also allow me to search them based on EXIF data and tags and should show thumbnail(s) in the result.
I generally use digikam and gthumb too manage and view the photos. In digikam I never being properly able to catalogue photos on DVD (never tried on the last few updates) and gthumb is too slow in showing the thumbnail or full screen views for the large size photos I take. I prefer gthumb over over digikam to view the photos due to the simpler UI.
Finally decided to write my own app for this, which will *not* have any editing features, Gimp is the tool I use for editing. Watch this video (3.2MB) and please comment if the thumbnail creation / viewing is fast or not ?
