How are Open Source Software Projects Surviving the Recession?
,----[ Quote ]
| Though these projects are merely just a snapshot of all the thousands of open
| source projects out there, they are among the most popular and can arguably
| be viewed as barometers of the overall community.
|
| Aaron Seigo, a full-time KDE.org developer who is sponsored by Oslo,
| Norway-based Qt Software, said KDE.org isn't seeing any big drops in its
| contributors, despite the economy.
|
| "We track these numbers pretty closely," Seigo said. "The one effect we have
| seen is that people have had a harder time coming to our in-person
| conferences. Travel is more expensive lately and people tend not to travel so
| much when things are tighter."
|
| Otherwise, the project isn't seeing any dips in participation rates, he said.
| In July, KDE.org had more than 12,000 changes--called commits--contributed to
| the project code base by developers. That's up from 10,800 commits in June.
| Over the past year, the commit rate has ranged from 8,000 to 11,000 per
| month, Seigo said.

KDE 4.3 âCaizenâ Review

| That probably covers the main features in the release especially the ones
| Iâve liked. Overall its is stable and the KDE developers themselves have
| said â âKDE 4.3 offers a more stable and complete product for the home and
| small office.â I think this was the release we were all waiting for in terms
| of stability and features as well.

A first look at KDE 4.3
,----[ Quote ]
| If you've been avoiding KDE 4 because of that, or other issues, it's finally
| time to give it a try. I think you'll find, as I have, that this new KDE is
| finally ready to compete with its older sibling KDE 3.5.11 and GNOME 2.26 for
| anyone's Linux desktop.
