A Preview of KDE 4.4
,----[ Quote ]
| I saved the best for last. I have long
| believed that applications like
| OpenOffice.org should have support for
| tabbed word processing. It just makes
| sense. Why should tabs be limited to web
| browsers or file managers? With KDE, you
| no longer have to wait on individual
| application developers. The KWin window
| manager itself supports tabbing.
|
| Simply right click on a windowâs title bar
| and select âMove to window groupâ. Then,
| select the window you want to group with
| it. Almost like magic, the two windows
| will become one, and there will be two or
| more tabs in the title bar. But this
| feature is not only limited within
| applications. You can group any
| application with any other. You could
| group a Firefox window with a Konqueror
| one and compare website rendering, which
| is useful for web design. KDEâs window
| specific features also now give you the
| ability to set how you want new windows of
| an application to group. For example, my
| OpenOffice.org documents now automatically
| open in new tabs rather than new windows.

key quest: nepomuk

| Nepomuk, the "social-semantic desktop"
| framework named with a cute half-dragon
| namesake. It's an amazing set of
| technologies, but there are two huge
| challenges for it in 2010. If we conquer
| those challenges together, we will be
| laughing.

key quest: mobilizing and enabling KDE users
,----[ Quote ]
| KDE has added new dimensions to our
| repertoire over the last few years. A move
| towards greater awareness that we are part
| of a larger free culture movement that has
| taken hold in various ways and form around
| the world is one such shift. It hasn't
| changed what we do (create client-side
| software with all the trimmings) but it
| has changed some of how we do it and what
| we include in our software.

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.
