KDE 

Hi, just yesterday I got asked by one long time contributor, if he can at all join the KDE e.V. or if he needs to do something special for that. He thought it would be more an invitation only club. It’s not ;) Anybody who does contribute to KDE can join us. KDE e.V. definition from its homepage: “KDE e.V. is a registered non-profit organization that represents the KDE Community in legal and financial matters.” Read More

Like last summer I am mentoring a student working on Kate’s Vi mode this summer. This year’s student is Vegard Øye from Oslo, Norway. I’ll let him introduce himself: My name is Vegard Øye. I am a computer science student at the University of Oslo, Norway. I also have a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from Sør-Trøndelag University College in Trondheim, where I programmed for integrated circuits. It was a lot of fun, so I decided to embark on a grade with an even larger emphasis on programming. Read More

One year more passed and the next Akademy will soon open its doors. Was never before in Tallinn or Estonia, will be an interesting visit. Hope to meet again a lot of old and new KDE people. Didn’t code a lot at all since last years meeting, too busy to finalize my phd thesis. Hope to get more time for Kate in the next months again ;) And at the meeting. Read More

Perhaps a bit early, but typical german, me and Dominik booked our flights to Tallinn. Lets hope we will have a lot fun there and meet old and new friends ;) See you all, at Tallinn.

Bug Fixes According to KDE’s bug tracker, about 190 issues were solved. Taking a closer look, lots of small issues were fixed, amongst them: Read More

Dominik’s video is cool, but we agreed that perhaps the names should be around and we can have a bit higher resolution to make them readable ;) Therefore here is a second take of the video, this time with names and 720p. (I have no luck with music, therefore, silence) You only get to see the video if you visit our blog page here. Direct HD link to YouTube here. Read More

Recently, the Kate project celebrated its 10th anniversary. The gource visualization of 10 years Kate development (2001 to 2011) looks as follows. Have fun :-) PS: In case you do not see any video, click here. PPS:Launch gource on kdelibs, that’s much more interesting!

Seems the Trolls made it, qt-project.org is online ;) Grats.
