KDE Visits FOSS Nigeria Conference 2010

,----[ Quote ]
| In 2010 the FOSS Nigeria Conference took 
| place for the second time and, like last 
| year, KDE attended the conference with two 
| speakers. There was however a change in the 
| visiting KDE team: Frederik Gladhorn joined 
| Adriaan de Groot to take the place of 
| Jonathan Riddell who could not make it this 
| year. The venue for the conference was in 
| Kano at the well-regarded Mambayya House, the 
| Center for Democratic Research of the Bayero 
| University. The conference date was moved 
| from March to April, which meant that the 
| weather presented a different face -- hot 
| followed by rain instead of the harmattan.

KDE at SouthEast LinuxFest

,----[ Quote ]
| Celeste also gave a great talk about how 
| KDE is EVERYWHERE!  It focused on 
| enlightening the Linux community about how 
| weâre not only on the desktop, but are 
| also spreading our technologies into 
| mobile, netbook, and  cloud based 
| environments.  She spent some time talking 
| about how KDE is not just software but 
| also a vibrant community including our 
| developers and users.  Finally she also 
| covered some of the latest and greatest 
| features of the 4.4 and 4.5 SC releases 
| and introduced the new âJoin the gameâ 
| campaign.

Flameworthy LinuxTag Notes

,----[ Quote ]
| So KDE has created a very open culture which 
| results in innovation, experimentation and 
| new technology. The user experience, while 
| more of a focus than in the KDE 3.x times, 
| imho still ain't what it needs to be, might 
| never be the way we currently work. At least, 
| the finishing touch is boring and hard to do 
| in such an open meritocracy.

LinuxTag from my view 

,----[ Quote ]
| Now of course I shouldn't dismiss the 
| other people at the booth, I especially 
| think Torsten Thelke (our KDE e.V. intern) 
| did an amazing job, and so did Frederik in 
| his sometimes-scary way. Yes, showing off 
| Fluffy Bunny themed plasma desktops, then 
| jumping some of your fellow booth mates 
| for a hug could be off-putting.

KDE SC 4.5.0 â Beta 2 â Another Quick Look

,----[ Quote ]
| Obviously, the move from beta 1 to beta 2
| wonât bring any new features, however, as I
| continue to use the KDE SC 4.5 betas, Iâm
| continuing to discover the small improvements
| that arenât obvious at first blush. Whilst
| there arenât a huge number of new features in
| this release, 4.5 is bringing a level of
| polish that will serve as a solid foundation
| for the next steps in the evolution of the KDE
| desktop.
