This video where Georges was explaining the value of product managers in FLOSS projects is finally auto-dubbed, so it can be listened to in English, around the 2 minutes mark: youtu.be/aj4jxPZWky8?t=122

I'm really enjoying the now accurate dates announcements in GNOME Calendar's minicalendar widget (in the sidebar and the event editing dialog's date picker) for screen reader apps for vision-impaired users, as detailed in gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-c.

Here's a video showing how the current nightly version works with Orca as I navigate the widget with the keyboard… there's more to it than the eye can see!

Achievement Unlocked: it turns out that the GNOME Calendar app is actually more accurate (i.e. not actively misleading) than Google Calendar when it comes to displaying the correct timezone offset when scheduling meetings in the event editor dialog!

Behold these screenshots. When creating the event in Google Calendar today, it claims Berlin is GMT+2 on Oct 26th (the day after Germany's DST ends), while GNOME Calendar correctly says "UTC+1"!

Tonight, on Georges' coding livestream (starting momentarily), he will attempt to port GNOME Calendar's "GcalCalendarMonitor" to libdex! Tune in here: youtube.com/live/xNIyG-dccE0

You can learn more about @chergert's libdex through the various blog posts mentioned here: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libdex/ as well as blogs.gnome.org/chergert/2025/
