key quests for kde in 2010?
,----[ Quote ]
| In my last blog entry about 2009
| achievements and events I said that I had
| a "looking forward" entry to come this
| week. This is the start of that entry, or
| rather, entries. As I was working on it,
| it became apparent that it was a big big
| for one entry. Yes, even too long for me.
| ;) I also realized that having a list of
| topics in one blog entry was probably
| going to lead to chaos in the comments
| section. The solution seemed evident:
| address each topic up in it's own small
| blog entry and publish them in sequence
| over the course of several days. So that
| is what I am going to do.

KDE Licensing Policy
,----[ Quote ]
| I have been invoked by John Layt to
| explain some bits of the KDE licensing
| policy. Itâs related to my recent writing
| on copyright assignment in the sense that
| it discusses reasons for picking
| particular licenses and how licenses
| interact. The back story is the KDE
| Licensing Policy, which lays down which
| licenses are acceptable in the various
| parts of the KDE platform technologies and
| applications. Roughly, the libraries need
| to be liberally licensed (which means they
| can be taken proprietary or shipped with
| otherwise closed devices â a common choice
| of GUI libraries nowadays). More
| concretely: (LGPL 2.1+) or (LGPL 2.1 or
| LGPL 3 or later approved) or BSD or MIT or
| X11. The idea is that you can either go
| for any version of LGPL from 2.1 onwards,
| or only selected versions of the LGPL
| which have been approved by the membership
| of KDE e.V. (if you donât want to give a
| blanket permission to the FSF to update
| the license terms) or something very
| liberal.

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.
