I just give it back to KDE at least some in return of all i received in all last 10 years. Please, if you in some ways had KDE improved your day by day , help to fund Randa meetings. Read More

This has been an very different year for me, but so far so good, things happened and despite the crazy itinerary to get the most "almost" cheap tickets...

Hello blog, long time no see :-) In last few months, Collabora, my employer, moved me and a team of good hackers to a mission of enable in some way automatic open source tools, code and libraries on top of AOSP ( Android Open Source Project ), and with our central focus are Wayland, Gstreamer and Pulseaudio, and a bit with Qt5 before, but this for later and will be some personal project soon. Read More

Another year, my first Desktop Summit, plenty of things to do, gstreamer training, help organization, even be a referee in a geek football match. Crazy days ahead. Leaving sunny Florianópolis right now ! Read More

I've been last week in Concépcion, south of Chile to attend another nice open source conference, been the second brazilian around ( Sulamita Garcia beat me first :-). But for me was special since last year we have finally some latin american KDE communities giving life signs, and i would expect that take more time to have they start to appear strongly, even more most of latin america been a strong Gnome supporter for years.

Long time, no post... So, this probably is the first post from the multimedia sprint, after an interesting internet setup which a fire alarm was a crucial component :-) As usual, lost airplane connections could not be missing in my journey, this time relaxed for the company of two brazilian coleagues, Tomaz e Alexandre.

Amazing Blog This is the amazing idea that came with Amanda from the new local KDE-MG group. Simple, beatifull and the most interesting way to get conference people to enjoy your booth, put his ideas out of the mind and getting everyone close. Read More

So some already heard the news, but just today i felt that is time to push my own message. After 10 and a half years, i'm leaving Conectiva and of course Mandriva. Read More

Hello everyone, from some time br.kde.org, the Brazilian KDE page was maintained in a slow pace, due the heavy duty that me, Maurício, Felipe ( the previous mantainer ) and other translations guys in role are into ( like real life ). Read More

Yes, sounds strange. Why should i did it ? Well, first is known among the distros that qt-creator in first release is not the most friendly to packaging. Not only beacuse qmake, but because some distros rely on things like splitted packages or 32/64 bits coexistent libs and plugins. Read More

Arrived the time of year of doing another test upgrade for Mandriva users. This time is a little bit special, since you will be using Qt 4.5.0 final, with all our efforts to make it stable with backports, annoying some KDE devels ( thanks dfaure and Thiago ), etc. Read More

First of all, on behalf of all Mandriva KDE team ( me, Gustavo Boiko, Danilo César and our main contributor Nicolas Lecureuil ), we want to to say a big thanks for the enourmous efforts and the present result named KDE 4. Read More

Troy was a little too much polite for me. Really. Is easy to understand when we saw critics. Most easy when are from the people that can't or couldn't help the subject but want express their own feeling about this. Read More

First of all, i'm working in a Linux company, i use Linux for almost everything in my life except gaming. Second, my company sold like hundred thousand of linux machines all over the world. Read More

I started Jambi package to Mandriva at Akademy this year, but process was complex since we're dealing with buildsystem changes, Java new packages, Qt4 layout changing, so lots of barriers to get the task done. Read More

Ok, 22 days after, the bag is back ! All stuff inside, no damage at all, just the bag itself with some scratches. Interesting thing in that clearly luggage was open and all things changed position, even things that was inside a necessaire, like a deodorant, was drop on bag, and necessaire was still closed :-) I will not complain about the scratches on the bag, i had enough stress about whole thing last weeks, i'm happy enough to have all things back with me. Read More

BIG RANT MODE Seens like air companies are really lost on this days. My luggage still not arrived, and neither companies, TAM and British Airways seens able to find what's happened. Read More

( For english speakers, translation will follow soon portuguese entry ) Bom, acredito que a maioria dos interessados nessa arena de programação do FISL devem já ter recebido o recente comunicado sobre premiações e desafios que pretendem colocar. Read More

Nada como um "desafio" de uma arena de programação. Esconderam um código na página e com dicas do futuro lá também :-) O "código" escondido é um pequeno javascript do infame Rot13 "criptografado" em Rot13. Read More

Breaking my long time without blogging and doing talks, i couldn't forget to say that we have soon the new Linuxchix event, and now with a new important target added on the roll, the teacher's side. Read More

Couples ( actually way more than couples ) of Caipirinhas, beer, and here we go... Aaron Seigo play for the masses.. Many thanks our fellow XSun for the picture

... is that usually came with a not long enough wire :-) After some hours spent in front of my home computer, even been a extremly good Stanton headphone, i've become tired of make my chair pass with his wheels over the wire again, and again, and again. Read More

Simple as should be: Merry Christmas for everyone... No exceptions... :-)

For everyone's blaming me not blogging for some time, i wouldn't feel good to write anything before recently changes. Too much work, not good days, even hard to get a good mood to work on KDE, but. Read More

Well... This year i intended to take vacations at mom's house, in a beatifull place called Florianópolis.. I scheduled my vacations to april, 3 and i was thinking that everything would go smooth until the week before arrived ! Read More

Vacations lead you to do strange things... I waked up this morning and strangely aim my eyes to the huge closet barely opened in last three years at my apartment.. So, i decided that it's time to throw out almost everything in there, since i really didn't need this stuff. Read More

Well Following the tuff days at Conectiva ( company restructuring is always tuff ), we are finishing our next Conectiva release. Many people know how insane and massive split package policy we have, and adding new packaging features like automatic i18n subpackages generation and auto detecting i18n install by language ( all thanks to LUA language embedded on apt ) looks like the things are become harder to manage, no ?
