12.04 Feature Freeze This Week
Jriddell
|
This week is feature freeze in Ubuntu land and the Kubuntu community have been working hard to get in as many as possible before the deadline.
Telepathy-KDE is working nicely. We're still deciding if it's better to go with the new-but-not-much-tested Telepathy-KDE or the old-but-unmaintained Kopete by default.

PerlQt4 - A history
I started my first job out of college in July 2007, at a company in the entertainment industry. I majored in animation in school, and at the time was still convinced I'd like to get into a professional animation position, so this was a great entry level job for me. Although, the position had nothing to do with animation. I was in charge of managing the company's disk and render resources, making sure that we got what we needed out of the render queue each night, and making sure that our disks stayed clean enough that people could keep working.

Thoughts about Kubuntu's Status, Canonical, and your distribution's sponsors
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.

Kubuntu Status
Jriddell

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.

Don't Forget to Resolve Your Own Bugs
Awinterz

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.

Plasma and KDE Applications 4.8 on Kubuntu
Jriddell
|
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. After the upgrade completed, I tried out KDE 4.8 RC 2. It worked great until the final release of KDE 4.8 Final. KDE 4.8 Final is even better than the RC!"

Q-Fridges - we're hiring!
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:
