As Friedrich already noticed, blogs are where discussions happen nowadays... Well, also responding to one of Ade's posts, where he states "I've been starting CMake "experimental" builds on various Solaris machines with SS12 to get numbers on how many warnings and errors we're producing. Since Dirk's dashboard works quite well for the vast majority of our developers -- Linux based -- I think a separate dashboard that counts and reports issues for non-Linux builds would be useful. " Yes, it would be really nice to have nightly (or daily) builds of KDE (at least kdelibs) on more exotic platforms.

The Dutch like it cheap. We do not like rules. That's just the way we are. The people at NOS are no different.

It has been several months since I blogged about exciting openSUSE stuff happening (all about at the same time). The next few weeks enough long in the work things are on the home stretch to make June an openSUSE month: :-) Read More

Microsoft is pushing their evil SilverLight platform very hard. They want to make sure that providers of cross-platform software for delivering rich applications via the web browser are thwarted. This is normal behavior for a monopolistic company and certainly for Microsoft. To accomplish this goal they are throwing around bucketloads of money and FUD to get content providers to use the Microsoft malware Silverlight exclusively. Read More

Please mail me if you see him. Video by motion on a Logitech Sphere.

Isn't it funny if you browse around the web and keep on to run into all those Eee-PC clones out there and note that nearly all of them are running KDE@Linux. Yet other examples I did run into are the Acer Aspire One and the ultra-mini PC. Both are running Linpus (a for small displays optimized GNU/Linux-distribution based on Fedora 8 ) with the "Friendly KDE desktop environment" :) Read More
