KDE Usability Goals for 2010
,----[ Quote ]
| This past Fall semester was pretty busy with
| the wedding, full-course load, and travel. I
| didnât have an opportunity to work on KDE as
| much as I would like and spent most of my
| time on board duties and conference planning
| rather than on the Usability project. Now
| that my coursework is completed and Iâm
| preparing for Comprehensive Exams, I will
| have more time this semester to work on the
| KDE Usability project. Some of the things I
| would like to get done in the next few months
| include:
|
| Continue work on Notifications
|
| Last year I began researching desktop
| notifications as a way to bridge design ideas
| coming from Canonicalâs Ayatana design team
| with work that was being done in KDE.

ArchLinux + modular KDE 4 + Tools = Chakra (Alpha 4)
,----[ Quote ]
| I had heard abÎut ArchLinux back from the early
| days that I started experimenting with
| GNU/Linux distributions. It caught my attention
| for two main reasons:
|
| 1. The mentality of Keep It Simple Stupid
| (KISS) and lightweight.
| 2. Itâs a rolling distro, which means you
| donât need to upgrade every now and then to
| newer versions to keep up to date. Just
| update your way into everything new out
| there.
|
| To be honest, I had attempted installing
| ArchLinux on an old laptop back then, but I
| failed miserably in completing the task. Same
| disappointing results on Virtualbox on my
| desktop PC. Although Arch has extremely
| thorough documentation available, I was stuck
| somewhere between manually setting up the
| system files and installing and configuring a
| working desktop environment. As an newbie I
| couldnât handle the pressure, so I gave up. But
| not for long.
|
| To my great pleasure, I recently stumbled upon
| the Chakra Project. Chakra is as the title
| suggests, a brand new distribution which is
| based on Arch Linux and KDE 4, but it comes
| extra with its own tweaked package set of KDE
| called KDEmod and some very handy tools.
|
| I was extremely happy to see that it features a
| graphical installer, and the fact that it
| supports automatic hardware configuration made
| it irresistible. I just had to download and see
| with my one eyes. It was about time I get rid
| of that Windows XP dual boot with Ubuntu after
| all.
