We are making progress here in Osnabrück at the KDE PIM meeting. We had lots of interesting discussions yesterday, throwing around crazy ideas and collecting all kind of requirements for the new PIM Storage Service. During this process we also came up with a mission statement and a name for the project: Read More

In a follow-up to clee's recent blog, I'd like to add I'm in a similar, but not exactly equal situation. I've quit my current job this Monday and I'll be moving to Norway in a couple of weeks to work for Trolltech. And I'm also waiting for the second half of Battlestar Galactica's season. :-) Read More

I have to admit that I'm a big SuSE fun and used SuSE exclusively for the last 6 years or so. For me SuSE had and has several advantages over the other distributions and these are: Read More

Today starts the KDE PIM meeting at Osnabrück. It has become a real tradition. We are now meeting for the fourth year in a row on the first January weekend. Many people are already there. I'm sitting together with Marc, Reinhold, Volker and Ingo in the Intevation office and we are preparing for the afternoon when we will officially start the meeting. The main and maybe only topic will be to create the architecture for the PIM storage layer for KDE 4. I have started to collect material at a Osnabrück 4 section on the playground of pim.kde.org.

Hi all you artists out there, I need an icon for cutecom, a cute Qt replacement for minicom. Anybody outthere who can help me ? Thanks Alex

Sometimes I doubt if I have a blog or not since I write seldomly here, anyway, I wouldn't like to let the opportunity to pass to be able to say I hope all of you KDE developers, users, artists, and contributors in general have a successful year and can find lots of reasons to smile (yes, I say that 4 days later than most people, but hey, better that than nothing, isn't it? ) Read More

2005 is over - and it was a very eventful year for OpenUsability.org: We had our first booth at the German LinuxTag, visited numerous developer conferences and Linux days to talk about usability and to provide live usability support. Also, we haven't frightened the KDE developers too much so they once more invited us to aKademy ;-) In September, we started our first regular regional OpenUsability Get-Together in Berlin, and are close to getting an e.V.

I haven't had much time this fall to do much actual KDE development. So the number of tasks is starting to accumulate. I might have time to do one or two the next couple of months so I would like to give you the opportunity to give feed-back on what you feel is most important. Read More
