Galette

New website for Galette!

We are proud to announce the brand new Galette website!

It’s been a while since the old one did not receive any real update, and it has several issues on localization (for example, menu was no longer translated into english).

I’ve decided to make use of a vacation week to work on that. Old website was using Dotclear, we’ve switched to Jekyll now. All source code is publicly available (a mirror is available on GitHub as well). Pages and posts are licensed under the terms of the Creative Commons CC-BY-SA 4.0 license and the “source code” under the terms of the GPL version 3 license.

All posts have just been migrated (with a few fixes sometimes), and all pages has been entirely rewritten. I had to deal with some internationalization issues, but I guess I’ve been able to address them all… Please also note that new website has been built “mobile first” in mind; therefore navigation on mobile devices should be better than it was.

In the end, I hope I’ll be able to use a translation platform to get the website translated in other languages; it seems Weblate does not support markdown/html contents yet; I’ll have to investigate a bit.

If you find errors, please open an issue. Of course, you can also provide a git patch or open a pull request on GitHub :-)

I’d like to thanks “GruiicK” on IRC/Matrix for his precious help (as usual!) reviewing this new website, and also to “Hiob”!

Happy Galette!

Talking about Galette

I was testing Matrix this week-end, I saw it is possible to create rooms on the which are linked with IRC channels. So, I've setup that and you can now join us:
https://matrix.to/#/#galette:matrix.org

Galette official IRC channel (#galette on OFTC) is integrated, this is a more global discussion; I think it has advantages (at least, it do for me) :-)

Dynamic fields import and demo!

Dynamic fields import from a CSV file is a common asked feature. It is the demand number one on voting system ;)

This feature has been recently integrated into Galette development branch! For the occasion, nightly Galette version has been updated, for whose who want to install and test it can do rigth now. See also Galette 0.9.4 modifications list (which may still evolve).

But I've also been thinking about others, and I've decided to put online a Galette demonstration version; which currently points on development branch. Ir's entirely resetted each night.

Please be aware all data are accessible for anyone, avoid abuses (and if you see something wrong, inform us).

A new oven for Galette

For a good Galette we need a good oven...
Mine has been built more than 9 years ago, a renew will be mandatory, it has been heavily used :)

So, I need a new computer with a sufficient configuration to work; and hardware is quite expensive...

I invite you to donate to help me buy this computer if you wish!

As a reminder, I'm the maintainer and developer of the project. With coding new features and technical evolutions (often complex); I'm also in charge of website, writting documentation, translations, user support, etc.
And for all of that, I need a computer! :-)

I've created a Paypal pool, but you can still contact me if you want to donate another way ;)

Pool amount is top of the price bracket; but includes all required hardware:

  • Ventilated case
  • CPU Intel Core i7
  • Appropriate motherboard
  • 32 Gio de RAM
  • Graphic card with dual screen support
  • 2 screens
  • 1Tio SSD (system) hard drive
  • 2 x 4Tio hard drive (code, data, backups, ...)
  • Assembly
  • Keyboard and mouse

Thank you in advance, remember it's almost X-Mas; and be sure I'll continue to add good butter to Galette :D
