KDE Blogs 

I've been hacking on deriving QMetaObjects for GObject-Introspection data as I described in a recent blog and am making good progress. I've now built a complete heirarchy of QMetaObjects from the gobject-introspection Clutter module which I've been using for testing. Read More

This weekend have so far resulted in 5 commits on Krita. In particular on the scaling stuff. Krita has for way too long had some outstanding quality issues with scaling. The edge pixels were transparent and the images themselves were too blurry. Read More

I'm drinking my Saturday morning tea and looking back on a pretty crappy week. I was burning the candle at both ends to get various enterprise stuff finished in time, and didn't have enough energy to really enjoy FOSDEM. Here are the openSUSE devroom slides from FOSDEM 2009. Read More

I took a few pictures of KDE people and the area around the hotel most were staying in. Click for the rest:

Wow, so yet another FOSDEM lies behind us. As always, it was quite fantastic; those who decided not to come were clearly mistaken ;) So, other than the obligatory KDE Group Picture, here are some impressions from this year. Let's start with the biggest surprise of all: Boudewijn Rempt was able to make it to FOSDEM! Read More

So, of course there's a lot of interesting things going on at FOSDEM here. Just like last year, we had a nice group picture on the grass field next to the KDE devroom. Thanks to all people who could make it. If you look verrry closely, you can even spot the GNOME person in it ;)

It is often said that many open-source-software is not enterprise-ready. But in order to be enterprise-ready, software must first be user-ready. I want to give you a feeling what I mean. Read More

Mandriva 2009.0 KDE 4.2.0 packages now updated for both i586 and x86_64. A standard urpmi repository is available. README for some detailed information. Some reference to a corrupted l10n packages will be verified and fixed this weekend, but not affects regular usage. Read More

I'm doing my last preparations for FOSDEM right now. Together with the other SUSE guys I will go to Brussels later today. On Saturday at 17:00 there will be a presentation about SUSE Studio in the openSUSE Track. Daniel Bornkessel and me will show you how to create openSUSE based software appliances with just a few clicks. As special guests we will have Andrew Wafaa and Jordi Massaguer Pla at the talk. They will tell a bit about what they have done with Studio so far. Read More

Germany, land of Kinder eggs, regional sausage varieties and underground spaceship themed hacklab-bar community collectives. I'm in Berlin for the Canonical Platform Team (previously called Canonical Distro Team) week long sprint where we have taken over a floor of the very large East Berlin Holiday Inn. East Berlin is a cubist painter's delight, all the buildings are large and cube shaped. 60 geeks on a 3MBit ADSL line is painful, especially downloading CD images to test alpha releases, the pain is mostly over now though and the alpha should be out in the next hour or so.
