I've also been triaging old photos to make some room on my server, so here's a Christmas present of a retrospective of old KDE photos. It all started here, my first KDE talk about Umbrello, my dissertation project.

Kexi usage statistics is an experiment started two years along with Kexi 2.4. The information helps to make certain decisions related to design and direction of the project. Today I'd like to show you first results. Read More

#savetheday party 19:50UTC in Munich and #kubuntu-devel from a project which has always taken inspiration from the Timelord.

Linuxcon ended in spectacular style with a party at the National Museum of Scotland, shown here with the interesting addition of a full marching band. Dolly the sheep was supposed to be on display but ran off at the sound of the bagpipes. Read More

Linus is visiting Edinburgh today for a Q&A session at LinuxCon. Asked where he'd like to see Linux in 5 years time he said he started Linux because he wanted to use it on his desktop but he's been disappointed how that hasn't taken off. He wishes desktop communities would stop arguing amongst competing technologies and would work together. How true.

I gave a lightning talk at Linuxcon about KDE and Kubuntu highlighting some of the mega rollouts with Kubuntu such as the <a href"http://dot.kde.org/2013/10/02/ezgo-free-and-open-source-software-taiwans-schools">one which is about to take over Taipai. Read More
