ROSE Blog Interviews: KDE Project's A. L. Spehr
,----[ Quote ]
| Q: You're speaking to a group of high school
| students. Why should they consider exploring career
| options in open source?
|
| A: Working with open source projects means that
| you'll always be on the cutting edge of using new
| technologies. You'll find this is good for your
| resume. But doing Free Software is volunteer work â
| you get to pick your own projects based on what you
| are interested in. So take advantage of that and
| follow your interests. Meet as many people as you
| can. You'll find it might turn into paid work, either
| in or outside of open source.
|
| People are one of the strong points. In a large
| project like KDE, you'll find people from all over
| the world. It's neat to be able to say that you know
| someone from Iran, and to get an eyewitness account
| of current events there. And it's fun to travel to
| conferences. I've met all kinds of great folks, and
| some have turned into close friends.

Akademy 2010 Dates Announced
,----[ Quote ]
| The representatives visited the Openmind Conference
| as part of the trip, which gave them a chance to find
| out about FLOSS in Finland and to meet and talk with
| government representatives and people from local
| companies. The conference was an interesting event
| with more of a focus on FLOSS in business than
| development. At Openmind Adriaan gave a talk on
| software licensing issues for the Free Software
| Foundation Europe's Freedom Task Force.

So you want to know how important KDE 4 is?
,----[ Quote ]
| Iâve followed and written about the development of
| the KDE 4.0 project on the old version of this blog.
| Until now however, Iâve never addressed the criticism
| that some sections of the Linux community have heaped
| on it. So Iâll just start with this post in the
| blogosphere that caught my eye.

How Important is KDE 4?
,----[ Quote ]
| So, how important is KDE 4? To the KDE project, it
| is absolutely crucial. I hate to say it, but it
| looks as if KDE 4 has become KDEâs âVista.â The KDE
| reputation has been tainted with a divided community,
| mediocre products, and a seeming lack of solid
| direction. I can only hope KDE becomes stable at
| some point in the near future, perhaps by choosing to
| make their â4.5â release their stable release fit for
| refinement and development, much like with KDE 3.5.
| Perhaps creating that stable environment for people
| to improve upon could lead to the creation of a new,
| thriving community, one just as influential as the
| one when KDE 3.5 was around. Otherwise, they may
| lose the market they have fought so hard to gain.
