Apple bought CUPS

News here and here /me wide-eyed but neutral (still). I don't have a good knowledge of the internals of the CUPS community, but from my ignorant viewpoint, Michael Sweet had the largest hand in that code. It's now mostly up to the community. Which is a great one, for having produced the most dependable printing platform 0$ can buy. Read More

Time

Pinotree  | 
Time, going fast with no way to be stopped, relentlessly going on and on over our existences... Ok ok, stopping the philosophy now ;) The fact is that my last blog entry is about 5 (!, yeah) months ago, and of course many things happened during these months. Read More

Work on support for online OpenPrinting drivers progresses

Gavin Beatty, GSoC student for the KDEPrint's online OpenPrinting drivers fetching and installation, provided his latest report today. It's refreshing to see enthusiasm and excitement from new young faces joining our community. It's perhaps this kind of effervescence that makes me eager to meet my students in class each autumn. Or to try to put some time in projects like GSoC. We need new energy. We need evolution. Read More

Free at last ... maybe not

Chouimat  | 
Afer a few months of really bad working atmosphere (see blogs.kde.org/node/2523) and some of legal stuff, I thought all of this was over until yesterday when the fruitcase called me to ask me to join his new venture, offer which I naturally refused. I just have to say he didn't liked this answer, I have a few recorded voicemails as proof of this :( Read More

T-shirts

KDE People have been asking me about t-shirts I composed at spreadshirt. Here you have the 'shop': http://www.spreadshirt.net/shop.php?sid=95340 [image:2869 align=right nolink=1 width=280]The virtual shop was originally created within a Polish t-shirt company, just for Kexi t-shirts before Malaga, before spreadshirt acquired the company. At the time (2005) I was able to get the shipment within Poland quite fast. Now it always comes from Germany. No udea why. Moreover, labour is obviously more expensive there... so prices increased too. Read More

The Return of kdedevelopers.org

Beineri  | 
The missed kdedevelopers.org site is back! Thanks go to Ian Geiser for founding and hosting it until recently. Starting this week it's hosted on a KDE e.V. server and administered by the KDE sysadmins. All old content except the theme has been transferred. The old (new account and password reminder notifications) and most known bugs of the new setup are fixed meanwhile. :-) Read More
