After my last blog post here is a more real life explained sample of data relevancy over context and usage provided by the Zeitgeist Framework:
First some explanations:
The Cricles represent URIs such as “http://youtube.com” or “/home/tom/test.doc”. The number you see are ids for these URIs
The Arrows represent a focus switch from a URI to another …
There are 3 types of relationships between items:
Content: Lets say two documents have the same content “Hello World” thus there is a probabilty that they are about the same topic. This could be done using indexers and keywords extractors like Tracker Indexer.
Metadata: Tags, mimetypes, etc… are all data that describe the uniqueness of an URI. Data sharing …
Now that the 0.2.1 version of the engine has been released I took the liberty to rewrite the whole UI from scratch in 4 days. Because of my f*cked up pc I enhanced performance quite a bit on the account of some memory around 20 MB (Natan will be doing his magic then) for …
So to cheer myself up a bit i decided to hack on a nice application that exports events from Zeitgeist to ics files that can be imported by every calendar application!
The basic idea is to reuse current calendar applications such as Evolution or Google Calendar to view activities that belong to a certain topic! Next is …
Having so much to blog about (being unemployed and over enthusiastic), I think this specific decision is worth sharing with the world!
Today after some discussion with the rest of the team we pulled it through! Zeitgeist is using the NEPOMUK namespace to support as well as profit from more cross desktop work!
I started the …
So if everything goes according to plan Zeitgeist engine could be included as an optional module with the GNOME 2.28 release to enhance the Shell experience thanks to Siegfried Gevatter(RainCT).
If it is so then I will also rework some of the Parental Control concepts I presented during GCDS! I see it as a very …
I think the work of my GSoC student deserves a post on its own! Not only did he work it off all by himself. I barely gave him adivse maybe once or twice directions! He was responsible for the whole engine seperation and now the Shell integration. Watch this and that. And if possbile …
After a long break the team is somehow back on track! After going through Jono’s “Art of Community” (which I recommend everyone involved in open source to read), I realized i was burned out. When I wanted to start hacking again my Laptop let me down and broke on me. Thanks to the guys …
1. Laptop: My “F’ed up piece of SH*T” of a laptop (DELL XPS 1330) constantly overheated and had the nvidia malfunction. During GCDS my notebook stopped charging and was on low performance all the time + hot as hell! My brothers netbook benchmarks 2x faster than my shitty laptop! And to top it off …
