Hi, in KDE 4.2 we have quite a few changes regarding the buildsystem compared to 4.0/4.1. Also we require at least CMake 2.6.2 now, which alone brings a lot of new features. Read More

So I am in my hotel room here in Nürnberg now and a bit tired from the long days over the weekend, however I think a bit of coverage of the KDE PIM meeting is in order. Read More

I'm currently on my way back home to Berlin from a hit-and-run visit to the Osnabrück 7 KDEPIM meeting. It's just close enough for me to take a very early train in the morning and still be back home before midnight, which was the best I could do this year, due to other commitments. I'm really glad I did, as I'm leaving the others hacking and discussing with the kind of warm, joyous feeling of fulfillment one gets when a long and slow process seems to be coming together nicely and things align beautifully.

openSUSE 11.1 Live CDs and USB images featuring KDE 3.5 are now available for download. openSUSE News has the full story.

The following weekend will see this year's instance of the famous KDE PIM meeting in Osnabrück, Germany, as usual gratiously hosted by Intevation at their shiny new office. I managed to convince the company I am currently working for that I can attend it and still make it to the final part of our site acceptance test in Nürnberg. Actually, since I am already in Germany, it will require less traveling than going there and back again from Graz. Read More

Tomorrow most people will be back from the holiday season, time to start again with the biweekly IRC meetings of the openSUSE KDE Team. This time we will look back to last year or rather to the openSUSE 11.1 release shortly before Christmas and the biggest reported problems. And also, despite the schedule discussion not being finished yet, we will start to collect and discuss ideas for openSUSE 11.2. Read More
