   Pycon-Fr se tenait du 21 au 24 septembre à Toulouse, et comme chaque année l'événement était riche en rencontres, discussions, et en écriture de code.

   Avec Matthieu Gautier nous y menions un sprint sur Ideascube, le logiciel libre de gestion de médiathèques sur lequel nous travaillons avec Bibliothèques Sans Frontières …

2. Building applications for other architectures with Flatpak

   Published on Wed 09 August 2017

   When I added Blender to Flathub, the build failed on ARM and Aarch64.

   Not having access to a machine in any of these architectures, I was wondering how I could try and reproduce the build failure, in order to fix it.

   Fortunately, Flatpak comes with fantastic tools.

   I quickly found …

3. Install Play it Slowly with Flatpak

   Published on Sun 16 July 2017

   Play it Slowly is a cool app which lets you play any audio file at any speed or pitch.

   Some time ago Alexandre Franke told me about how he uses this app, and lamented the fact he couldn't easily install it on Fedora. At the time, I made a Copr …

4. Blender is on Flathub

   Published on Mon 26 June 2017

   I have been maintaining Flatpak builds of Blender for some time, now. In fact at the time I started Flatpak was still called XDG-App. :)

   As of today, my Blender builds are now on Flathub, and I will stop updating my personal repository.

   One of the benefits of moving it to …

5. Rebuilding a Debian package for another release

   Published on Thu 15 June 2017

   Over at Ideascube we want to start using Cockpit for various appliance maintenance tasks.

   Warning

6. Install Musicbrainz's Picard with Flatpak

   Published on Tue 16 May 2017

   Picard is an amazing music tagging application, which I use regularly.

   I originally installed the Fedora package, but that didn't work very well. So I made a Flatpak build of it and used that, but I never actually shared it.

   Some time ago, I added it to Flathub, so that …

7. Aggregate Blogs with Pelican

   Published on Mon 15 May 2017

   I use Pelican for my website, including this blog, and I love it. So when the time came to start working on our professional website, it was the obvious choice.

   One thing we wanted was a page that aggregates our blogs. A view on what the individual members of the …

8. Blender nightly in Flatpak

   Published on Fri 23 September 2016

   Over the past week I started on an experiment: building the git master branch of Blender in Flatpak.

   And I decided to go crazy on it, and also build all its dependencies from their respective git master branch.

   I've just pushed the result to my flatpak repo, and it seems …

   Edit on 2017-06-26: Blender is now on Flathub and this article is now obsolete.

   $ flatpak --user make-current org.blender.app stable …

10. GUADEC 2016

    Published on Wed 24 August 2016

    I came back from Karlsruhe last week, where GUADEC 2016 took place.

    It was a wonderful event. Even though it was only my second GUADEC, I felt at home in this community, meeting with old and new friends.

    The talks were excellent, but a few really resonated with me:
