As usual, KDE will have a presence at this year's FOSDEM. If you're coming, be sure to check out our KDE devroom schedule for Saturday, and the CrossDesktop devroom schedule for Sunday. I expect that within a few days the whole schedule will be available, instead of only a few devrooms (importantly, there will be a KDE-related talk in the Debian room). If you're around on Saturday, don't forget to come to the group picture! Read More

Avoid the iPhone. Avoid WebOS. Buy a Nokia with Free Software. Read More

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
