What's goin' on? about dextop HOT 7 OPEN

Hey !

First of all, sorry for my late answer ! For some reasons I did not received the notification as expected ^^

What a great news to hear you about that new xpra version !
And even more to hear that you could be interrested in working on something similar.

I have not worked on that project for a while, but I always had in mind to make something out of it..

What is your action plan about it ? Did you start working on something yet ?

I would be greatly interested in contributing on a similar project, or start a new one from scratch with all the experience I have gathered since.

Can't wait to hear you again about that :D

PS: your english is pretty good, check mine :p

See ya !

Hey sorry, I have been busy these last weeks!
I didn't start working on something,I just played with the shadow feature and it's pretty neat (you should check that ;D)
I don't know very much the state of this project, but would like to hear about, your thoughs etc.
In fact I'm much more interested by the crossplatform thing, and the virtualization part. But there's work to do before that. The question is more : what's your plan ? ;)

from dextop.

Yop !

I've been busy too, I started a new job 2 weeks ago and got a lot a things to do ^^

The plan is: How to make xpra to work cross platform...
Actually I doubt we can run Xpra on other platform than linux.
I've come to work with other protocols like NX that is fully cross platform but is not well documented

I would like to discuss this further with you before I leave Paris (definitivly) next week !
What are your disponibilities ?

Cheers

YopYop from the xpra.org homepage :

It can also be used to forward full desktops, from X11 servers, MS Windows, or Mac OS X.

And it's python so.... :D pretty straightforward, we have to test that ! I didn't knew about NX, seems nice too !

Tell me yours instead, I have some free time this week-end and next week too, up for a beer ?

Also I found this : http://winswitch.org/
(it's edited by develoop, the same as xpra)

from dextop.

Yeah I saw winswitch, pretty interesting project !

I'm not surprised that xpra can forward full desktop from all of them, but that's not the feature i'm interested by.

The main goal of DexTop was to bring every application window together, by taking them one by one from the OS. I'm afraid that's a feature it will be hard to develop on crosoft and apple systems...

Seems that NX came with some solution for that, and the source code can be found somewhere on the web from the era it was free/open-source (if I recall correctly)

Its a way to initiate the research :)

Anyway, i'm free for a beer Tuesday after work if it's good for you ?

Cheers

Ahh I get it now. I saw that NX came commercial around 2012 so it shouldn't be difficult to find, also there's forks.

Alright for Tuesday! Will text you, cheeers!
