Yesterday I blogged there were 4 days left. Today there are 5 days left: Google extended the deadline to March 26th. So you now have the weekend to finish your proposal. Read More

So this is the time to send your proposal if you haven't already. If you want to work on something for KDE 4, you're a student and would like to get paid, this is your chance. Read More

It's so weird to start writing Yet Another Networking Framework (YANF) for KDE... It's weird not because it's simply YANF. It's weird because this is the fourth networking framework that I will have written for KDE. Read More

Yeah, the Title of this blog sounds like a job opportunity... but that's intentional. I am proposing a job opportunity -- in the FOSS style :-) When discussing with Aaron Seigo tonight about some old functions in KApplication that we wanted to move or remove from KDE4, we came up with the conclusion that we instead needed a new class. Read More

It's been quite a while since I've blogged. You know, life gets in the way... But this is a good time as any to say it: Happy Birthday KDE. May the next 10 years be more groundbreaking and memorable than the last 10. Read More

This morning, Trolltech released the Technical Preview 1 for Qt 4.2. Along with the many long-awaited features, you can even find the QtDBus module as part of the standard release. Read More

So I was working on kdelibs over the weekend, trying to clear up a few problems with the D-BUS implementation in KDE. I found that the KMainWindow interface worked almost perfectly out of the box (it would have worked perfectly if I hadn't used a dash [-] in the object path in the first place). Read More

With commit 546830, KDE says good-bye to one of its longest friends: DCOP. The technology has served us well for 6 years, to the point that has become one of our most proeminent features. Read More

So after a few weekends of work (and some not working), some friends and I have finally finished porting kdelibs from DCOP to D-BUS. It compiles, links and installs. I've just made the final commit on Subversion (I had forgotten to remove a few files from installation). Read More

With less than 2 hours to go to submit applications, students must be busy smoothing the final edges of their texts before submitting to Google. And as it turns out, we're getting some very interesting ideas for Summer of Code this year. Read More

I guess you all already knew about it, but just in case you didn't: KDE is participating again in the Google Summer of Code. So, submit all of those ideas that you had but never had had the courage to start working on! Read More

I'd like to thank J5 making the D-Bus 0.61 release. For those that don't know it yet, I've been the maintainer of the Qt bindings for almost two months now -- half of which as a Trolltech project. Read More

In a follow-up to clee's recent blog, I'd like to add I'm in a similar, but not exactly equal situation. I've quit my current job this Monday and I'll be moving to Norway in a couple of weeks to work for Trolltech. Read More

Roberto Cappuccio wrote: After lunch, Zack Rusin, another vegetarian of the KDE community, opened his Powerbook and performed, for our eyes only, the presentation of his improvements to KDE's graphical environment, which did not take place some days ago due to technical problems. Read More

Day 4 in aKademy was the first day of the developers' conference. It started with the keynote speech by the Trolltech CEO, Eirik Chambe-Eng, entitled "Trolltech, KDE and the number 42", though somehow the number 42 went missing. Read More

Day 3 in Málaga (for me) was a bit routinely for me. I woke up rather late, considering the previous night's party and went to Dirk's talk on Firefox and KDE. Read More

As the dot published yesterday, the KDE World Conference 2005 started with an opening ceremony where local government officials attended, as well as aKademy Assembler Antonio Larrosa and KDE e.V. president Matthias Kalle Dalheimer. Read More

This is my first blog in Málaga and my intention is to write one each day, retelling that day's events. I hope to keep up with this for all the days I will be here. Read More

Here goes a summarised report of the talk I presented. The presentation (in Portuguese) is at http://developer.kde.org/~thiago/presentations/IDG-17-08-2005.pdf (source and beamer theme: trunk/promo/presentations/2005_08_SaoPaulo_IDG_Developers_World_pt-BR) The conference was IDG Developer's World, held here in São Paulo on Aug 17th. Read More

A short while ago, the Subversion commit 450000 happened in the KDE Subversion server. The honour goes to Rafał Rzepecki, while committing to his Google Summer of Code project. This happened not 20 days after the commit number 440000. Read More

I've found this gem while searching for some old contributors to KDE: Enjoy www.kde.org in 1998: http://sunsite.bilkent.edu.tr/pub/linux/www.kde.org/. See specially this announcement.

On Jan 4th, 1999, the kde-common/accounts file was created by Stephan Kulow, but the idea is attributed to David Faure (no blog). After threatening removal of accounts for people who didn't report in, the kde-common/accounts file was created with 180 names. Read More

I thought I'd let the world know how I came to be managing a bit of the Google Summer of Code thing on the KDE side. I certainly had not expected it. Read More

This is just a short note to congratulate physos and everyone involved for the great new look docs.kde.org now has. Even after all these years, KDE contributors continue to amaze me in terms of the quality of the material they produce. Read More

I was reading carewolf's blog and I decided to post a comment there. Here it is reproduced for greater visibility: Then stop Stop making the effort of reading such obviously and blatantly obfuscated code. Read More

Aaron said in his blog: irony: too much water causing not enough water So I have another: Swiss cheese has holes The more cheese, the more holes The more holes, the less cheese Conclusion: the more cheese you have, the less cheese (! Read More

When I started reading pipitas blog about the fundraiser he's driving, my first thought was, “sure, how can I help, non-financially?". It's easy to donate time and help, and it's very appreciated. Read More

So what would the best buildsystem be, according to me? ./configure make make install In case you've been startled, read on. First of all, let's differentiate the system configuration checker (a. Read More

As you may have noticed, Chris Lee started a blog and a thread on kde-core-devel about KDE's next build system. I was there on IRC when the discussion spontaneously started --- as usual, it must have been someone ranting about automake/autoconf/libtool. Read More

So I arrived this morning in Porto Alegre for the FISL. Morning's been nice: we've met the Trolltech representative here and had some productive conversations. I am looking forward for some talks tonight, including one by Scott Collins. Read More

We're reaching a milestone in KDE development: within the next few days, we'll hit Bug #100000 in bugs.kde.org. So, I have taken the liberty of opening a poll on when the bug will hit the database. Read More
