KDE Blogs 

Canllaith recently started a new series on the Dot called This Month in SVN. This is indeed a cool idea to give non-technical people some insight on what is happening in SVN. Bram is also impressed with these series. He suggest that perhaps localization could be done on these series, like we do with Application of the Month. Read More

I arrived home safely at around 11:30pm with a Thomas, a fellow of my LUG in Bonn and a translator for kdeextragear. He also took our booth parts in his car, which helped us a lot, thanks again man! Read More

LUGRadio Live happened yesterday. At last Britain gets a community run expo/conference for Free Software geeks. Me and some Glasgow LUG geeks took a roadtrip down. Ben Lamb came along to help run the KDE stall and we handed out lots of Kubuntu CDs and showed people the goodness of KDE. Credativ UK dude and Kubuntu devel Chris Halls turned up Mark Shuttleworth talked about Ubuntu and going into space, Colin Watson talked about the Ubuntu installer, Christian Schaller talked about GStreamer and Jon Masters talked about embedded Linux. I've put in notes I took on the LugRadio Wiki, scroll to the bottom. I gave a talk on Kubuntu and KDE, slides are up. I'm not a good public speaker, it'll be interesting to watch myself once the videos are available. It also doesn't help that KPresenter 1.4 can't open it's own files without crashing (OpenDocument files are fine). Read More

Thank you Google! It's quite exciting to see so many people with so many new ideas for making KDE better. Best of luck to all 24 winning contestants!

Thanks Jonathan!! As we are having a KDE bbq soon, I promise to bring these goodies with me.

I was reading carewolf's blog and I decided to post a comment there. Here it is reproduced for greater visibility: Then stop Stop making the effort of reading such obviously and blatantly obfuscated code. You've done quite a lot of work, and the community surely thanks you many times over for it. However, if they keep breaking it, then it'll never end. Instead, everyone who has a GMail account and wants to use Konqueror, mail Google now and make them write Konqueror support.

This week I finished reading Robert Silverberg's Roma Eterna. And I must say I enjoyed read it. The story is basicly what would had happened if Rome didn't Fall in 476 AD? Read More

This week has been pretty cool =) My partner and some hackers from the OSS project he's involved with have been gearing up for the ICFP contest (http://icfpc.plt-scheme.org/). I'm very interested in seeing what will be happening in the next few days as they work on the first stage of the competition entry. Read More

When KDE moved from CVS to SVN, the old kdeextragear modules disappeared, and the extragear applications were dispersed in a number of new modules: graphics, multimedia, office, utils, etc. This is of course way better, but I was in charge of translating kdeextragear-3 and kdeextragear-libs to Spanish (previously I had translated kdeextragear-2), and now I didn't know anymore what my task was: most of my apps were in the graphics module, which had already been assigned to other translator.

As some bugs.kde.org votes might have noticed I've fixed GMail (standard view) again in Konqueror. Although it is an odd sort of fix, because I really just improved our Mozilla emulation so we change one more bit from our usual KHTML/MSIE behavior to that of Mozilla when spoofing as a Mozilla based browser. This means that GMail only works when you use UserAgent spoofing and set it to Firefox. Read More
