KDE Blogs 

Tomorrow is the last power-of-two day in the year and this happens to be Felix's birthday (if you remember 2^4*2^3=2^007 - a year has passed). I just finished burning a DVD with the movies we recorded and a slideshow of the best pictures and it's a strange feeling seeing him grow up in 5 1/2 minutes. Read More

It's a while I blogged last time about the progress on the goggle summer of code project to Improve OpenDocument in KWord. Mainly cause after working on a lot of smaller things till the mid-term we picked one of the bigger tasks and spend last weeks on it: pagestyles also known as masterpages. Read More

Printing in KOrganizer is really in need of some attention. Especially now that we are providing RichText capabilities in calendar descriptions and elsewhere. You can even write journal entries entirely in RichText. But the printing system doesn't know anything about RichText. Read More

This is possibly one of the most widely used and most simple method to adjust an image. It's so simple and effective that you will want to use it on all your pictures from now on, so keep an eye on this, and have fun. Read More

As you've seen from all the stores on the dot and on planetkde this week has seen all the KDE developers gathering in Mechelen in Belgium. The organisation this year has been excellent - even the network (usually the achilles heel of KDE conferences) has worked from day one. Read More

Photography has changed a lot since digital cameras broke into our lives and replaced film cameras. Camera makers have made great efforts to convince us that digital is better, and that new digital cameras are worth their money. Read More

I didn't get to be one of the cool-kids at Akademy this year, but it's still a pretty exciting week for me. I won't drone on about it too much, but since I mentioned here a while back that I'd just founded a new company I thought I'd drop in a link now that we're actually talking about what we're doing.

One of the release process improvements that happened with KDE 4 is the move to have module maintainers. This has ment some of the lesser loved modules now have a greater sense of community which helps a lot for those apps which are otherwise developed all alone. Here is the kdeutils members who were at Akademy. Read More

So, 3.5 days of Akademy apparently means a lot of pictures being taken, I'm pretty sure everyone around has noticed this ;) Now I personally took a lot of pictures (again, most of you will have noticed that), which means that I also have a lot of data. Since I'm not really in the mood to upload 2.1G of data (at least, that's the current count), I'm not going to upload all of that somewhere (especially since a lot of those are actually out of focus, moved, generally blurry, bad, etc). If any of you think I made a nice picture of you, though, feel free to contact me and I'll see if I can actually find any such picture to mail you ;) 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. Since it is already quite some weeks ago I first did this, I might be missing some crucial steps, so if you have any questions after reading this/playing with your n810, feel free to ask me, I'll be at Akademy for the entire week. Writing this I've discovered how bad I am at writing any kind of howto/documentation, but hopefully it will still be a bit helpfull, and else you should just ignore it :) Read More
