As most of you are probably well aware, since quite a while it is not very hard to write Qt applications to run on Android devices. A couple of weeks ago we at KO GmbH decided to look into how hard it would be to get KDE applications to run, and more specifically, if it would be possible to run Calligra with one of its mobile UI's on an android device.

I finally got around to running vttest [1] in Konsole (4.8/master) [2]. The most noticeable issue is the the console resizing commands don't work [3]. A list of other issues: Read More

(this is a continuation of the Fruits of Calligra Suite Sprint #2 series) 2012 started and I am still summarizing ideas from the Sprint. Today an integration idea: Office Forms for Calligra apps. Read More

First, I've changed the branches that are being built on build.kde.org to reflect the branching of 4.8. Second I've incorporated a build of Qt 4.8 branch that is triggered once a week to keep up with fixes there. Read More

Earlier this year Jono mused about getting older. Ah bless, I remember him when he was just a whippersnapper promoting KDE at a warehouse in Birmingham. Today is my turn to reach my 30s and I had it all planned out. I was going to be living on a tropical island with loads of awesome beaches, reliable and warm surf to learn how to use a waveski (sit on top canoe kayak for surfing) while speaking fluent French and drinking ti'punch (rhum agricole, lime, and cane syrup). I spent a lovely month there meeting new people, trying new things, working in the sunshine with a swimming pool a meter away for when something is compiling. Read More

FYI: I just added some symbolic links on the api.kde.org machine to make accessing the 'stable' and 'unstable' dox a little easier. So now stable points to 4.7 and unstable points to 4.8. Read More

(this is a continuation of the Fruits of Calligra Suite Sprint #2 series) You don't need to become a seasoned web developer to know the value of styling documents with the CSS. This Sunday the technology turns 15 since its initial release. Read More

I've just committed a fix to the Calligra Engine, so that font rendering will be without hinting when compiled against Qt 4.8. And here are the obligatory screenshots to prove it (thanks buscher). Both are with system wide hinting turned on. Read More

A comment at the Calligra Words blog-entry asked about re-adding the CTRL+M "Hide Menubar" option back to Calligra Words (and the KDEPim-applications). That is a very bad idea. The "Hide Menubar" option, known from many KDE3 applications, is the typical example of a break-me option. The user can hit it by accident and will have a hard time to restore the previous state. More so if you add a 2-letter shortcut like CTRL+M to that option which is easy to hit by mistake and not so easy to discover if you did not know about it before. Read More
