Martin Schlander already said the most important things but repetition never hurt a good message: KDE 4.3 is coming to KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop<. If you do nothing and use this repo you will get KDE 4.3beta1 installed soon! The stable KDE 4.2 packages will continue to be available in the new KDE:42 repo. The Extra-Apps repo is gone, its packages merged into Desktop, Community or Playground according to their level of support and release readiness. App packages which have both KDE 3 and KDE 4 versions are being renamed to show that KDE 4 is the default. Eg for digikam, we have kde3-digikam and digikam-kde4. This will cause a package upgrade to the new stable version. If you want to keep the KDE 3 version, install the kde3- package instead of the new KDE 4 based package. The Geeko is a quiet and stealthy animal. It doesn't make a lot of noise. But it produces solid, well engineered Linux distros year after year. Stephan 'Unstoppable Force Beineri' Binner has produced a respin installation CD of openSUSE 11.1 containing the latest and greatest KDE 4.2.2, and all the online updates since 11.1 came out in December. Is the longer openSUSE release cycle making you twitchy for a hit of something new? Do you want a rock solid openSUSE with the best KDE has to offer and none of this repo-fiddling nonsense? Get the respin from: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Medias/images/iso/.

Well, today I was let go after being at Platform Computing working on our Open Source software for almost 5 years. It's been one of those up and downer days. I read the FLOSS blog postings from all the different communities and see people being let go and now I'm one of them :-( Read More

Testers are needed for the proposed CD and DVD ISOs for the final Kubuntu 9.04 Release. Upgrades from 8.10 and 8.04 need testing too. Report your results on ISO testing and #kubuntu-devel.

Ok, this blog is not really KDE related (well, it makes the network installation of a KDE developer more convenient, so...), but anyway here we go. Main purpose is to get the compatibility information out there, so others can find it. Read More

There will be some new weather providers coming soon. I am currently working on adding a Netherlands source (current conditions only provided free). Someone is working on a German source and I plan on adding 7 day forecast info to the NOAA provider hopefully soon. Read More

I've read various stories about how people are having problems with the KDE4 compositing effects. So for a change, I thought I should describe how I'm a very happy KDE4 user, after I got KWin and Plasma effects to run pretty satisfactorily on the low end VIA7 cpu/gpu combination in my HP 2133 mini laptop.

Hello everyone, from some time br.kde.org, the Brazilian KDE page was maintained in a slow pace, due the heavy duty that me, Maurício, Felipe ( the previous mantainer ) and other translations guys in role are into ( like real life ). Was basically pt_BR carbon copies of main website, nothing more. As Felipe asked for a temp departure, we are in need of new fresh blood insane people to join the hard task and bring new life to the home. So i'm proud to announce that Tomaz and Sandro, from the Live Blue project accepted take the task. So, thanks to Felipe for all the years in the translation team and taking care of the site, and welcome to the new overlords of Brazilian KDE Site. Hope they will aim to a new high quality project as our friends of KDE India are doing !!

A post on the KDE forum motivated me to write some info about what's new with Kexi 2.0. For sanity I groupped a set of quickies as an 2.0 Alpha 12 changelog. For uninformed, most applications within KOffice will meet the stable 2.0 release (already passed a promising RC1 stage), while Kexi and Kivio neds more time for development. The hope is to synchronize nicely at the 2.1 stage. Read More
