i don't need no stinking nepomuk .. right?
,----[ Quote ]
| Nepomuk is being used more and more to
| track, coordinate / orchestrate and index
| non-"files on my disk" data. Let's take two
| examples: Akonadi and the Plasma Desktop.
|
| Akonadi is using it to provide search for
| email, contacts, events, etc. which is one
| step away from the "file indexing" idea.
| Instead of building its own search database
| (and all the overhead that implies),
| Akonadi is able to lean on Nepomuk for that
| and, as a bonus, be able to not only index
| but map the correlations between those sets
| of data which, as a human being, we'd
| expect to be there and have at our
| fingertips.
|
| The Plasma Desktop is going even further
| with Activities. We now have the ability to
| store, retrieve and mark as "active" which
| desktop activity you are working on. There
| is no file anywhere that maps to this. KWin
| will be gaining the ability to map windows
| to these activities, and any other
| application (KDE or not!) can also choose
| to map internal data and settings to
| activities and take appropriate action when
| the Activity context changes. The mechanism
| that ties this together? Nepomuk. Since
| we're using Nepomuk, we get the ability to
| tie documents and other URL based locations
| together with Activities as well .. for
| free.

Recent:
KDE 4.4 Kreeps Kloser to Komplete
,----[ Quote ]
| This release also includes a whole slew of
| new widgets for KDE. This includes a
| "Webslice" plasmoid to display a part of a
| Webpage, a spellcheck widget, an on-screen
| keyboard, and a blackboard widget that
| allows users to paint with the mouse or
| even multitouch devices "on platforms that
| support them." KDE inherited multitouch
| support from Qt4.6, and could make KDE a
| contender on mobile devices and tablets.

What We Did Last Summer (And the Rest of 2009) â A Look Back Onto the
Nepomuk Development Year With an Obscenely Long Title
,----[ Quote ]
| Querying data in Nepomuk pre-KDE-4.4 could
| be done in one of two ways: 1. Use the very
| limited capabilities of the ResourceManager
| to list resources with certain properties
| or of a certain type; or 2. Write your own
| SPARQL query using ugly QString::arg
| replacements.
|
| With the introduction of Virtuoso and its
| awesome power we can now do pretty much
| everything in one query. This allowed me to
| finally create a query API for KDE:
| Nepomuk::Query::Query and friends. I wonât
| go into much detail here since I did that
| before.

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.
