libxml, FOSDEM
libxml2 is compiled without thread support in Ubuntu 9.10 due to an oversight from upstream. This causes issues with Strigi which recently added a check for it. You can get packages from my PPA with thread support. It should go into -proposed and -updates soon too.
FOSDEM is happening next month. I can't go :( but you should, it's the best cross project free software gathering there is. If you're going put yourself on the wiki page and then think about doing a talk, if you are involved in KDE we want to hear from you. Add any talk ideas you have to that wiki page.
