Thanks Nokia! It will be really interesting how this will impact the Qt and KDE communities, desktop, embedded, mobile, cross-desktop collaboration. Looking forward to a friendly competition on technical merits only. :-) Read More

Not something I thought I'd ever be posting on the Dot but Qt is relicencing to LGPL. They're also going to open up the development archive to non-Nokia developers. I never did understand why GPL was a barrier but talking to people at conferences it was often their main reason for choosing against using Qt. Now there's no reason not to use the world's finest toolkit. Read More

Hi, in KDE 4.2 we have quite a few changes regarding the buildsystem compared to 4.0/4.1. Also we require at least CMake 2.6.2 now, which alone brings a lot of new features. Read More

So I am in my hotel room here in Nürnberg now and a bit tired from the long days over the weekend, however I think a bit of coverage of the KDE PIM meeting is in order. Read More

I spent a little time yesterday working on a class that provides a wrapper around the MediaWiki API. It makes quite a nice example of how the QNetworkAccessManager API can be combined with QXmlStreamReader to quickly access web services. The code, as you'll see, is very simple. Read More

I'm currently on my way back home to Berlin from a hit-and-run visit to the Osnabrück 7 KDEPIM meeting. It's just close enough for me to take a very early train in the morning and still be back home before midnight, which was the best I could do this year, due to other commitments. I'm really glad I did, as I'm leaving the others hacking and discussing with the kind of warm, joyous feeling of fulfillment one gets when a long and slow process seems to be coming together nicely and things align beautifully.
