KDE Blogs 

Have you ever heard about Project Censored? That project is "a media research group out of Sonoma State University" in California. And it's again that time of the year when it publishes its annual "Top 25 Censored Stories" (attaching the number "2007" to it, for whatever reason). Read More

Just released a new stable version of Gwenview, version 1.4.0. You can find the full announcement here. I am now thinking about the future of Gwenview. There have been talks a few months ago about integrating Gwenview into KDE4. So I guess it's time to get in touch with kde-core to see if they are still ok with this and if it's the right time to start this work. Read More

Wondered this morning why there is no GPG/PGP keysigning scheduled for next week's akademy 2006. Obviously it was forgotten, so after a quick query with the organization team about a free time slot I just posted this to akademy-announce: Read More

You may think that I have blogged about every KDE-related openSUSE build service project by now. Not quite yet. :-) Besides the unsupported backports of openSUSE Factory packages in KDE:KDE3 & KDE:Backports and the experimental stuff in KDE:Playground (like KOffice 1.6 Beta and digiKam 0.9 Beta 2) various people started to package additional applications using the build service in the last founded KDE:Community project. With the help of the community it's not absurd to expect this repository to become the biggest of all KDE projects over time.

Effective as of the upcoming e.V. meeting, after four years of active membership, I've decided to make my membership passive (for those not familiar with the terminology, that's where you're still technically a member, but aren't on the list and don't have voting rights). Read More

Just one more day (till tonight midnight), and the KPhotoAlbum splash screen contest is over. I am truely impressed with the amount and quality of submissions. Have a look at http://www.kphotoalbum.org/splashscreen.htm Read More

Why is it so complicated to walk on stopped escalators? Is it because it feels like walking back in time? Or are the riffle telling the feed not to move? Or is just because you're loosing your rythm? I don't know - fact is: most people I watch avoid stopped escalators if there is a normal staircase next to it.

After more than two months of frantic development, a new Strigi release is available. This release has so many desirable features that you cannot help but upgrade. The numbering (0.3.8) is leading up to 0.4.0 which will be released around the time of Akademy. There I hope to start working on KDE4 integration. Read More

On the #qtruby IRC channel kelko thought up a simple way of adding blocks as targets to Qt::connect() calls. After some more discussion rickdangerous suggested also adding a simple method that would work like 'signal_connect()' in ruby-gnome, which just takes a single signal name argument and a block. I've just added the code to both the Qt3 and Qt4 versions of QtRuby. There are three variants that allow you to replace the usual SLOT(:foobar) with a block. Read More

From time to time I do a fresh trunk compile to entertain myself on the logs (as I have no time to do real development at the moment). So this is the top list of warnings about deprecated functions: Read More
