I just finished moving the Krazy repository from KDE SVN trunk/quality to Gitorious. Seems to work ok. For the record, here's how I did it: % git svn clone svn+ssh://winterz@svn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/quality/krazy2 % cd krazy2 % git remote add origin git@gitorious.org:krazy/krazy.git % git push origin master Read More

The Ubuntu Developer Summit is in full swing here in Florida. There have been a load of important decisions taken. For example today I dropped KDE from our desktop. I know this may be controvertial with some parts of the community but we can have unity in our new desktop.. Plasma. Of course we're Kubuntu so we did it upstream. Read More

I've been last week in Concépcion, south of Chile to attend another nice open source conference, been the second brazilian around ( Sulamita Garcia beat me first :-). But for me was special since last year we have finally some latin american KDE communities giving life signs, and i would expect that take more time to have they start to appear strongly, even more most of latin america been a strong Gnome supporter for years.

KDEPIM 4.4 lives. I tagged and released version 4.4.7 last night. You should see it in a KDE FTP mirror near you in /pub/kde/stable/kdepim-4.4.7/src Bonus: I used svn2cl to make a ChangeLog. And here it is: Read More

I couldn't resist snapping as many KDE folk at the openSUSE conference as I could, and editing them together into: a short video. If anyone can tell me how to embed in kdedevelopers.org or enable the download of the OGG version from blip.tv, let me know!

For the first time since end of May, 2010, the kdelibs unittests are all green again, in trunk: 100% tests passed, 0 tests failed out of 171 Thanks to everyone involved in the last round of fixing (Aaron Seigo, Kévin Ottens, Bernhard Beschow, Sébastian Trueg and a few others)! Read More

Next week is openSUSE Conference week! I'm using both my openSUSE and KDE blogs to remind everyone that we're having a pre-conference meetup at 6pm for the KDE team before the real conference begins at Barfüßer in the Nuernberg old town. Remember a morning of keynotes is only fun if you have a thumping hangover from microbrewed beer (and if you're a keynote speaker, from local schapps too)! If you are attending the conference or if you are just a friend of KDE in the area, please join in. Read More

<a href="https://blogs.kde.org/files/images/marble_opencyclemap_update1.png target="_BLANK"> As you probably know, you can download a lot of additional Marble maps with the “Get hot new stuff” framework. The reason for this entry is that OpenCycleMap is now using a different server for their map storage. For all users of the OpenCycleMap in Marble it means that they will have to update their map configuration if they want to see updated maps. Read More

We've been working on QSparql for a few months now, and I feel it is starting to be something that could be used by a wider audience. It is a simple QSql-like library for accessing various RDF stores such as KDE's Nepomuk data in Virtuoso, SPARQL endpoints on the web via HTTP, and Gnome or MeeGo Nepomuk data in Tracker stores. It differs from Soprano in that it is much smaller and lower level, and it is asynchronous and uses Qt slot callbacks by default, whereas Soprano is usually a synchronous style api. Read More

McGrath's dream, linked by Henri: "There's a huge pool of web developers with HTML and JS skills that can now contribute to desktop apps. Watch how fast GNOME and KDE advance when this happens." Read More
