KDE 4.0 was released yesterday and of course openSUSE complimented with packages for openSUSE 10.2, 10.3 & Factory and the version 1.0 of KDE Four Live CD. For reactions see openSUSE News, Digg or look at screenshots - many readers seem to understand the nature of this "1.0.0 release of KDE4". :-) Read More

With the release of KDE 4.0, it's time to start maintaining both trunk and branch versions of the code, so that bugfixes can be backported to the branch. If you use the cs/cb/cmakekde scripts to manage your build environment, it's fairly easy to switch the context of these between branch and trunk. Read More

Busy day today, in a few hours something amazing starts..

The nice thing about a community event is the way it brings everyone together. I just gave a presentation to all my colleagues at the SUSE office here in Nuernberg on KDE 4.0, what it brings to the table and where it's going in the future. It was great to have our two largest meeting rooms joined together, with a capacity audience. For the last few weeks Dirk, Stephan, Lubos and I on the KDE Team have been working all the hours we can to add the final polish to 4.0 and to make sure the openSUSE packages of KDE 4.0 are the freshest and highest quality KDE binaries available.

Been for some time in the last years actively involved in KDE development in many ways considering distributions and even the amount of rants and talks on conferences, i'm proud to be the small part of this huge project that prove in many ways that we can deploy desktop on opensource with quality.

KDE 4 on Solaris came to life today on my Opteron box. Screenshots of running KDE4 [ kdelibs/kdepimlibs/kdebase-workspace/kdebase-runtime ]: KDE4Solaris [ my Smugmug gallery ]. Built with Sun Studio 12, QT 4.3.1 and the Apache Standard C++ Library. Read More

What was it ... ah, yes ... KDE4.0 has been just released ... just in case you haven't noticed yet in all the other blog posts all around. No, in fact, the thing I really wanted, was: People, the proper capitalization is "KWin". Not "KWIN", not "Kwin". It is the KDE Window Manager, just like KCalc is the KDE Calculator, KPat is the KDE Patience Game or KMenuEdit is the KDE Menu Editor. Okay :) ? Read More

Back when I was attending my first KDE conference there was an interesting talk announcing that Qt 4 was in development. Now 4.5 years later that development has been released to the world in it's full form, KDE 4.0! Read More

Today at work, a new building was opened. To celebrate the happy event, Hugo Rietveld came to open the building. To do this, he needed keys and these were brought to him by a barn owl (church owl in dutch). The bird flew through the cafetaria and landed in front of Mr Rietveld with the keys. Read More

Recent development has left me feeling a bit unhappy with part of my toolset - code coverage. I'm not especially interested in metrics (except as a guide to where to start) - rather in the detail. Read More
