Samba
I've only created an skeleton of the Samba 2 code and updated the Samba 3 one. In the Samba 3 side I have created a linked list to follow the opened files so the filtered files don't notify read/write/unlink/rename operations and organizated all the code in subversion.
GNOME
At home in the desktop computer I have updated GNOME 2.6.1 to 2.7.4 but I experiment some troubles viewing files in nautilus. Then I'll see if it was any problem with the update, at this moment is making an emerge -e gnome (so it will be compiled with gcc 3.4.1 and glibc with nptl support). I tried to compile the last Ximian OpenOffice build (1.1.61) but it requires gcc 3.2.x so I will try later with an old gcc profile.
Nice article of Davyd about new GNOME 2.8 features.
OSCON
I would like to go there, a lot of interesting conferences, like in the OLS and Kernel Summit.
