We all arrived yesterday in Boston, got to know each other and did some hacking. Yesterday evening we all went to an iMax theater to see the new Star Trek movie. We have spent most of the day talking code and hacking in a small room in one of MIT's buildings.

It has been a pretty productive day, and it is always great to meet up with KDE developers old and new. Everyone is heading out at various points throughout tomorrow. Thanks to Jeff and Qt Software for making this event happen.

A week ago today we released Avogadro 0.9.4. If you would like to try out the new release then you can grab packages and source here. No pretty pictures this time as I am at the KDE GSoC America sprint in Boston, MA and only have my little Eee PC with me. I will see if I can remedy that when I get back home.

This week has been really busy. I have been working hard on getting an Avogadro, OpenBabel super project set up on the Mac. Then using the CMake functions to make a fully relocatable app bundle. This is really experimental right now, but if you would like to play with it then check it out in the downloads section. It is actually the 0.9.4 release with a few patches to our translation files and some other small fixes. It can be run from any directory, and contains Qt and OpenBabel.

There were a few problems with the 0.9.4 release we discovered a few days after the release was made. The main user visible issue is with the translation files not loading, and so we will hopefully get a new release out soon. This is already fixed in head.
