KRunner from the top?
,----[ Quote ]
| Yesterday I was hit by the idea of putting
| KRunner at the top of the screen and making
| it 'slide in' when called up. The "floating
| dialog" just wasn't doing it for me anymore
| and so I went ahead and implemented this to
| see what it would feel like. After working
| out various kinks, I have to say that I
| really like it. So I decided to do a quick
| screencast showing KRunner in action at the
| top of the screen for you to watch and
| then, hopefully, offer some feedback on it.
| It's even better if you can try it out
| yourself by building from SVN trunk, of
| course, but I know not everyone can or will
| do that. If the reactions are generally
| positive, this will be the default for 4.4.

Moving to digiKam
,----[ Quote ]
| For ages, Iâve been using Google Picasa to
| manage and tweak photos I took with my
| point-and-shoot cameras. Its editing tools
| are pretty limited, and the Linux version
| is just a not-so-pretty port that runs in
| Wine. When I moved to a DSLR camera these
| and other limitations became even more
| apparent. So when Google released Picasa
| 3.5 for Windows, leaving Linux users behind
| with the older 3.0 release, I decided that
| it was time to move on. After testing
| different photo editing and management
| applications for Linux, I settled for
| digiKam.

Amarok joins the Software Freedom Conservancy
,----[ Quote ]
| The Amarok project has joined the Software
| Freedom Conservancy. This move allows
| donors to give tax-deductible donations,
| and it increases the transparency in the
| spending of Amarok's funds. This greatly
| helps us to be more efficient, and focus on
| what we really do best: Creating kick-ass
| software. At the same time, we stay fully
| committed to the KDE project! Amarok is,
| and will always stay, a fully committed
| project under the KDE umbrella. We have
| coordinated this move with the KDE e.V.
| board, who approves of our endeavors.

NLUUG Conference on Open Web
,----[ Quote ]
| On October 29th the NLUUG held their second
| conference this year (the first, held in
| the spring, focused on file systems). With
| over 200 visitors and talks by 19 speakers,
| all prominent in their respective fields,
| this conference was of particularly high
| quality. This is surely emphasized by the
| location and surroundings and the excellent
| organization. Read on for a short
| impression on the conference, which was
| attended by several KDE community members.
|
| [...]
|
| After the last talk there was time to put
| some of the above recommendations into
| practice and have a few beers together.
| There was also handing out of prizes and
| some fun. At the end, attendees agreed the
| topics were interesting and, as cloud
| computing is an area where the FOSS world
| lags behind a bit, the discussions about
| ownership of data, privacy and security
| will hopefully result in more awareness on
| the issues with the current 'Walled
| Gardens'.

KDE 4.3.2 now official in Slackware
,----[ Quote ]
| Some time back we had reported a way to have
| KDE 4.3 on Slackware Current using vbatt's
| packages, since KDE 4.3 was still not
| official on Slackware. Now, you no longer
| have to depend on third-party packages for
| KDE 4.3.2 on Slcakware. It has become
| official.
