Since several KDE folks were in town for the Google Summer of Code Mentor Summit they decided to come visit us as kind of an impromptu KDE 20th birthday party, and to meet KDE's newest/youngest disciple. Read More

As I posted the last time I blogged (which I really should do more often), I had some problems with Calligra Active on Android and the number of shared libraries it requires (various versions of android have different, but low, fixed maximums for the number of . Read More

As I wrote in my previous blog post, I've been doing work on getting Calligra working on Android. My first attempts of this used Calligra Mobile, our QWidget based mobile UI originally written for the Nokia N900. Read More

As most of you are probably well aware, since quite a while it is not very hard to write Qt applications to run on Android devices. A couple of weeks ago we at KO GmbH decided to look into how hard it would be to get KDE applications to run, and more specifically, if it would be possible to run Calligra with one of its mobile UI's on an android device.

As you are hopefully already aware, the deadline for this years Akademy Call for Papers is approaching quickly. You have until Friday, 23 April 2010 to get all your proposals for talks, lightning talks, workshops and BoFs in. Read More

Yesterday nokia gave away 300 pre-production n900 devices to all attendants of this years Maemo summit in Amsterdam (in the form of a six months loan, after that they'll have to go back to Nokia). Read More

After spending an extra week after GCDS hiking around on La Gomera (another one of the Canarian islands), I finally got home and had time to process some of the photos I took during the desktop summit, so you can go ahead and take a look at them in my gcds gallery on my smugmug page (so if anyone needs a smugmug referral code you can also ping me).

After quite a while of not doing much maemo related, I finally found the time to build a bit more up-to-date kde packages for maemo. I've now uploaded kdelibs, kdepimlibs and kdebase from KDE 4. Read More

It is of course a bit late to announce, but this sunday (february first), there will be a KDE 4.2 release party in The Netherlands. Everyone is welcome to join us at De Commanderie van Sint Jan in Nijmegen, starting from around 14:00. Read More

Until now I've always been using my own built Qt packages when building KDE packages for maemo. Initially because the Qt packages in extras-devel where missing some vital parts for KDE (mainly SSL support I think) but after that because I just had them installed, and it worked. Read More

As KOffice is supposed to be a lightweight office suite, I figured it would be nice to see how well it would run on maemo based devices. Thanks to Thomas Zander who replaced a lot of the double usage in koffice with qreals it was quite straightforward to get koffice to compile and packaged. Read More

During the last couple of days I've been working on trying to get parts of kde packaged for maemo, to make development for others easier, and after some struggles, I finally succeeded in doing part of this. Read More

Since Nokia will be giving 100 n810 devices tomorrow at the Embedded and Mobile day at Akademy, I thought it would be a good idea to describe a bit how you can get KDE working on your brand-new device. Read More

Continuing my efforts to get a decent KDE based system on a maemo based device, this week I've worked on getting sound to work. As maemo uses gstreamer for its media, my first attempt was to use the phonon-gstreamer backend. Read More

As a next step in my SoC project this week I've worked on getting Plasma to run on a maemo based device. Getting KDE compiled for this platform provided some new challenges, mainly caused by the old compiler used by its SDK (gcc 3. Read More

An issue I encountered while running plasma on my Neo1973 is the lack of a right mouse button (the screen can't really distinguish between ends of the stylus/which finger I use). Read More

As I mentioned in my previous blog entry, I'm working on making KDE and plasma behave better on systems that are quite different from 'normal' computers, specificaly small devices. As currently the only physical device I have access to for this project is a Neo1973 Openmoko phone, most of my initial work will be for that device. Read More

As this will be my first post published on planet KDE, I want to use this opportunity to introduce myself a bit. I am Marijn Kruisselbrink, a 22 year old computer science student from The Netherlands. Read More

[image:3150 align=left size=thumbnail hspace=20] As you can see in this image, I managed to get plasma to run on a Neo1973 phone (using an openmoko image for the rest of the software). Read More
