I would just like to say thank you to the open source community. Your continued support has allowed us to become one of the longest lived Linux distributions that features the beautiful Enlightenment desktop by default.

To say thanks, we are going to give something back to some of the folks who donate to us in the first quarter of 2014.

The following instructions install a Debian Wheezy based ARMHF file system with the Bodhi branded E17.6 desktop powered by the EFL 1.8.4 on the Samsung ARM Chromebook.

I am really happy with the state of this image. Audio works, screen backlight is functional, Chromium browser works, and Flashplayer works. Sadly opengles still escapes me, but I have no need to play games on my netbook.

Today I'm happy to announce that eAndora is finally feature complete enough for me to stamp something as a "1.0" release.

Today I would like to walk you through the short process of using Pipelight to watch Netflix under Bodhi Linux.

We are pleased to announce that EFL and Elementary 1.8 are now out and available for download. Also Emotion Generic Players and Evas Generic Loaders are available too. EFL now has fairly complete support for everything in Wayland 1.3. As a client it does most things right and is certainly usable now for day to day usage.

As of this past weekend the testing builds of the Enlightenment window manager DR18 (E18 for short) are in the Bodhi Linux testing repository. The following are the steps you need to take if you would like to install and help test the future of the Enlightenment desktop on your Bodhi Linux install.

As we’ve been working on bringing Steam to the living room, we’ve come to the conclusion that the environment best suited to delivering value to customers is an operating system built around Steam itself. SteamOS combines the rock-solid architecture of Linux with a gaming experience built for the big screen. It will be available soon as a free stand-alone operating system for living room machines.

t has been close to six months since our last Bodhi Linux release - far too long! This is just our normal update release - meaning if you are already a Bodhi user and have been running your system updates then you already have all these additions running on your system!

In some recent python code I was playing with I had the need to sort a bunch of lists based on elements within their elements. Thankfully python's built in sort function is plenty powerful and allows us to do this in a fairly easy manner.

I've owned the hardware for almost six months now and during this time I've used it a fair amount. The goal of this post is to provide a comprehensive review of the product to see if it is something that could be useful to you.

It’s been a while since I’ve written a real blog post, so I’m going to do a bit of a roundup here. Brace yourselves.

After almost exactly three months since our Bodhi 2.2.0 release the Bodhi team and I are happy to announce the next update release for our 2.x.y series - Bodhi Linux 2.3.0.

Today I would like to take a moment to discuss a topic that has received much attention on Linux blogs/news sites in recent weeks – Ubuntu’s concept for the Mir display server. I would like to start by pointing out I’ve said the concept of Mir. That is right folks – at this point it is just a concept, nothing more...

I would like to offer a bit more choice for Bodhi users. I would like to share with you all my "friends and family" version of Bodhi Linux.

With Steam officially being released for Linux I took some time out this evening to run a few benchmarks on my Ubuntu 12.04 based Bodhi system to see how a few of the different modern Linux desktops compare in terms of OpenGL performance with the source engine. KDE, XFCE, LXDE, Unity and E17 are compared.

This is the second post in my series on developing GUI applications in Elementary using Python. Today we are going to continue building on the Hello Elementary example I started in the first tutorial.

You read that title right folks. The first showing of Enlightenment DR18 (or E18 for short) has become a reality.

This post is the first in a series I am going to be publishing about using elementary and python to develop applications. The first examples gets a functional GUI window in less than 50 lines including comments.

Today I am happy to announce our first public Bodhi images for the MK802 Android stick.

Elementary is the top level building block for the Enlightenment Foundation Libraries (EFL). The EFLs reached their first stable release almost a year ago. Today I would like to highlight a few applications that are being developed using Python and Elementary that have reached a usable state.
