Cold War at the Eighth KDE PIM Gathering
,----[ Quote ]
| The eighth annual KDE PIM developer meeting in
| OsnabrÃck, Germany started out with an
| extended snowball fight among the Scottish,
| German and Dutch contingencies. That actual
| work was being done was evidenced by
| enhancements to Akonadi, KDE 4.4 and 4.5, and
| planned further development of the Kontact
| groupware client.
|
| The eighth annual meeting of the KDE groupware
| faction was all in the spirit of mobile
| devices. KDE Kontact is to be ported as fast
| as possible on mobile platforms such as Maemo
| 5 and Windows Mobile, if things go according
| to the plans of the Kolab Consortium under the
| auspices of Intevation and KDAB. Kolab has
| recently been releasing repeated new versions
| of the Windows port of KDE Kontact, the latest
| with a one-click installer.

SC09 Videos: AMD, Penguin, and the HPC French Fryer
,----[ Quote ]
| In 2009, we heard a lot about Nehalem and
| Telsa. AMD and AMD/ATI were not taking a nap.
| Their efforts are paying off and as the
| following video will illustrate, they have
| some great technology to offer the HPC crowd.
| Indeed, AMD has been a big supporter of OpenCL
| and has now released the ATI Stream Software
| Development Kit with OpenCL support. The
| promise of OpenCL is portability across
| processors and GP-GPUâs (not cluster nodes,
| however). The SDK from AMD/ATI has beta
| support for both x86 processors and ATI video
| cards. As you can see in the second half of
| the video, OpenGL has arrived.

DE PIM Annual Meeting Pushes Advanced Design, Enterprise Stability
,----[ Quote ]
| KDE PIM is the Linux client for the Kolab groupware solution, and
| as such has many enterprise users who are supported by the
| companies making up the Kolab Konsortium. Due to their stability
| requirements, most commercial Kolab users are still using the
| KDE 3.3 codebase. A new enterprise branch of the KDE 3.5 PIM
| module is being created which will be used as an ultra-stable
| base for Kolab users, and so that Kolab-derived improvements
| can return to the KDE 3.5 branch.

KDE 4: the ultimate business desktop?
,----[ Quote ]
| Since beginning as a one-person project over ten years ago, the
| fourth generation of the K Desktop Environment (KDE) is poised to
| be the most business-friendly open source desktop to date with a
| host of new features ideal for enterprises.
|
| [...]
|
| Rodda is also bullish about KDE 4's ability to attract more commercial ISVs
| to port applications to the environment, primarily because of the
| multi-platform capability that comes with using Qt 4.

The Road to KDE 4: SVG Rendering in Applications
,----[ Quote ]
| Since KDE 4 development is in full swing with plans for a KDE 4.0
| release sometime later this year, I thought I'd put together a
| weekly piece entitled The Road to KDE 4. The idea is to have a
| short overview of one or two of the features that show progress
| in KDE 4. For my first issue, the goal is to show off some of
| the great SVG work that has taken place so far.
