]]> Comment on Slides for my talk on “Automating X11 Keystrokes” by jimcooncat http://blog.remoteresponder.net/2011/03/18/slides-for-my-talk-on-automating-x11-keystrokes/#comment-1338 jimcooncat Sun, 03 Apr 2011 01:07:38 +0000 http://blog.remoteresponder.net/?p=37#comment-1338 I didn't find xte when I needed to record and playback mouse movements -- likely because it's packaged as xautomation with some other tools. I did have reasonable success with xnee. One trick when using xnee was that I was having to "zero" the mouse between clicks by clicking in the upper left corner of my screen. (Actually it was two clicks, as that action would open my Gnome menu, so click again to close.) I'm guessing that mouse acceleration was messing with the cursor placement. The script xnee produces isn't very approachable, lots of numerical coding for movement and placement, so I doubt it could be scriptable as simply as xte seems to be.

Stop by the registration desk to introduce yourself. I would be interested to learn what you think about the conference. Glad you are going to the social media panel. Skip Shuda will be a terrific moderator. Tracey CJ,

When we quantify the benefits of the environment he describes, it's much easier to make the business case to change to Linux (particularly Debian) and other FOSS tools and applications. Proprietary software is often a waste of money. -Gene R.

But there are only a limited number of seats on the Ubuntu Community Council. An election was organized so the more than 500 official Ubuntu Members could decide which of them would serve. The ballot used the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condorcet_method" rel="nofollow">Condorcet Method</a> for fairness. Remarkably, more than 50% of eligible Ubuntu leaders participated in the ballot! Elizabeth's results in the ballot were very solid, so there is some evidence of real merit. Please view the results of the ballot <a href="http://www.cs.cornell.edu/w8/~andru/cgi-perl/civs/results.pl?id=E_f802a7d79840b58a">here</a> and assess it for yourself. Penny,
