Here's the first release after GUADEC. Istanbul. It was a great place.
And some people actually had time to visit the beautiful city. Or to
take a turkish bath. Sounds like a cool program, doesn't it? Of course,
it was not only about this -- there were tons of interesting
discussions, lots of sessions around various topics, etc. But you know
what? The GNOME contributors actually managed to continue hacking on
their modules. Amazing. Those people never stop. I guess it shows how
passionate they are! So they made changes that are now visible in this
latest version of GNOME. And if you look closely, you can feel some
turkish love in the air around this release! Cool stuff.

The GNOME SlackBuild GNOME 2.22.1 Desktop is now available for users of the latest Slackware 12.1 release! There have been a lot of improvements in this latest GSB release, including the move to PulseAudio, fewer package replacements, a GNOME-integrated Compiz-Fusion setup, the latest NetworkManager, Abiword 2.6, and OpenOffice2.4, a richer Mono C# suite, as well as all the great features of GNOME 2.22.
