Who is KDE (once more with feeling)
,----[ ]
| Let me further quote Anselmo:
|
| There is a new group in Chile (their
| websiteisn't ready yet) and in Argentina
| (google translate), people are
| reorganizing the community. And for a
| better integration, a mailing list was
| created for the whole latin american KDE
| community (kde-latam).
|
| Here in Brazil, besides the developers
| you may already know, guys from KDE-MG
| (MG = Minas Gerais, a Brazilian state)
| and KDE-BA (BA = Bahia, another state)
| are doing a great work in promotion.
|
| Combine this with the recent Latinoware
| conference in Brazil, which had a visit from
| some KDE people who came away incredibly
| impressed - it seems the center of gravity
| is shifting ;-)
|
| The plasma team is already experiencing
| this, as they have a few very active
| Brazillians on the team. And promo is being
| infiltrated as we speak ;-)

Software for Making 3D Presentations
,----[ Quote ]
| The Dimpress 3D consists in a tool for
| building presentations, almost like the ones
| created by softwares like PowerPoint or
| OpenOffice Impress, the main difference here
| is the final result, our software will
| generate animated, multi-directional and
| visual attractive content. To catch these
| goals, there will be used visual resources
| like 3D techniques, Physics Simulation and
| whatever the free software community can
| think, âcause we are talking about a tool
| that will be free software and plugin-based,
| which means that, anyone sufficiently
| interested can improve its funciontalities
| by writing plugins.
| The Dimpress 3D is a Work In Progress, and,
| the basics of the application is already
| done.

Publishing Calendar Events directly from KOffice
,----[ Quote ]
| One of the great things about KDE 4 is how
| powerful the APIs for the central components
| are. In particular, Akonadi and Nepomuk have
| become very easy to use in custom software
| and third party applications. I recently
| discovered another very powerful set of
| libraries: the plugin API for Koffice. Using
| those libraries, I recently wrote a little
| "docker" that lets you attach the documents
| you are currently working on in koffice to a
| new calendar event which can be used by any
| Akonadi-enabled application. For instance,
| you could publish minutes of a meeting to
| korganizer so that they are easier to find .
| . . and then sync them to your Palm
| Lifedrive using kpilot.

Silicon - auto image mounter for KDE 4
,----[ Quote ]
| Perhaps you know how mount ISO image by
| commend line. However, If you are lazy - like
| me - to use Konsole, Silicon is a good choice
| for this task. I tried Furius ISO before, but
| I don't like it because it lacks KDE4's
| integration.

KDE SC 4.4 branched, trunk reopens
,----[ Quote ]
| So tonight, release-team-hero Dirk has
| branched off KDE SC 4.4 from trunk. Let
| quickly explain what this means. Trunk/ is
| a directory in KDEâs SVN repository, the
| central place holding where all the code
| from different contributors spread across
| our planet comes together. In a big team
| like KDE, we need some coordination to be
| actually able to release our software
| packages once in a while. Since the release
| of KDE 4.0.0, a typical KDE release cycle
| takes 6 months. Roughly 4 months of
| development, followed by about 2 months of
| stabilization and testing towards a
| release. In the stabilization period, which
| starts with the feature and string freeze,
| only bugfixes and code improvements are
| allowed. This is also the period where we
| release regular test releases, in our case
| a beta1, right after the feature freeze,
| and a second beta (happened shortly before
| christmas). The next test release is coming
| soon, which is -rc1.
