KDE Blogs 

Yesterday I woke up to the news that Canonical are no longer going to fund Riddell to work on Kubuntu. I've trying to figure out what that means for KDE and for community Linux generally. Read More

At the end of a long day here are some photos from KDE at FOSDEM 2012. Pradeepto says "3.24 AM here, am in office, those pictures made my day/night/whatever itis now". Read More

From my kubuntu-devel posting. See also Jason's posting. Today I bring the disappointing news that Canonical will no longer be funding my work on Kubuntu after 12.04. Canonical wants to treat Kubuntu in the same way as the other community flavors such as Edubuntu, Lubuntu, and Xubuntu, and support the projects with infrastructure. This is a big challenge to Kubuntu of course and KDE as well. Read More

A gentle reminder: please occassionally check back on bugs you've reported and resolve them if they have been fixed in recent versions. Sometimes we developers fix bugs but forget to resolve them ourselves; sometimes bugs are fixed by newer versions of other software we depend on; sometimes bugs are fixed as consequences of other fixes.

Kubuntu has packages for 4.8 bringing updates to Plasma workspaces and a load of KDE Applications. To quote a nice user posting on kde-devel "I upgraded to Ubuntu's Precise Alpha 1 a few days ago.

There are job offers floating sporadically on planetkde so I guess this one would fit too especially that there are many related technologies involved. You may remember my story about some crazy Qt device. Now there is apparent expansion both vertically and to other types of high-end devices, so: Read More

The reason I say no is that there are no easy jobs left, and so jobs would take much more of my time than I would like. And I also don't want to purposely leave unfinished stuff behind. Read More

You are a student, you would like to contribute to an Open Source project, and get paid for it ? Then I may have something for you. At my job at Fraunhofer in Kaiserslautern we are using the CDash testing server for testing the software we develop - various different High Performance applications for Linux clusters. Read More

Since Monday, a feature I have been working on for quite a while has been merged into Calligra master. This is the style selection combo box. Until Monday, the style selection widget was a home brewed widget based on QFrame. It wasn't optimal and that is a British understatement. Now this widget is still home brewed, but based on a QComboBox. Read More

It's been quite a while since I last wrote a blog post, but it's not because I haven't been coding, in fact quite the opposite. The Qt opengov project is finally underway and I've been doing quite a lot of work on the various SSL classes. I'm now an official Qt approver, so as you can see the process of getting non-nokia developers the ability to commit to Qt is working. Read More
