Randa 2010 – KDE Edu+MM

Last weekend I had the pleasure to visit a small village, somewhere in cheese/chocolate land (not sure what we agreed on, some call it Swiss).

It was awesome to say the least. The trip involved group hugs, meeting great people, discussing, presenting our work of the last months (it’s been three years since the last [...]

attica 0.1.4

I finally got around to tarballing libattica 0.1.4 (ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/attica/). This is what is required for KDE 4.5 and only contains some small additions and cleanup (now the providers advertise which parts of the api they support).

Now I’m off, because:

Going where no gearheads have gone before…

This is my very subjective blog entry about our presence at the Ecumenical Church Day 2010 in Munich. It is my personal take on things. Our presence? That is FSFE and KDE together in one booth, nicely mixing green and blue.

I am back home now and had a night of real sleep. Participating [...]

PyKano

One of the best initiatives at FOSS Nigeria was the founding of the PyKano Python user group.

It is open for anyone (with a focus on people in Nigeria). The intent is for people interested in Python to have regular local meetings but also discuss on-line. If you happen to be interested in programming and [...]

FOSS Nigeria – First Day

Yesterday I ran into Adriaan in Amsterdam, not only by coincidence. We had a nice flight to Kano, Nigeria.

We met the Commissioner for Science and Technology at the airport and were warmly welcomed. After a drive through the night we went straight to the hotel. Motorcycles in the dimly lit streets of Kano were [...]

Promo Sprint

Quite often, a group of awesome people meets to promote KDE to new people. Most often that happens on the different IT/Linux/Free Software/something fairs. This is where many technical (and sometimes not so technical) people come together, exchange information, take the chance to talk to people directly involved with our project or just discover something [...]

Taking a walk

Last week we had our little get together with FSFE and KDE people. That was planned as a local thing to just get to see each other (living in the same city and only meeting in different countries is weird). So to my surprise we had visitors from Karlsruhe, namely Sput of Quassel fame and [...]

Meeting in Stuttgart

Hi all

If you happen to be in Stuttgart in two weeks – August 1st 2009 that is – why don’t you drop by for a chat with some of your favorite local FSFE and KDE people? Back in February we had a nice FSFE fellow meeting combined with a party to celebrate the [...]

Arrived at Gran Canaria!

Yesterday we arrived at Gran Canaria and made our way to the hotel. Alejandro was waiting at the airport when Daniel and Frank and I arrived from Stuttgart (followed by Sven a few minutes later with a different machine, so we saw him before taking off and after landing).

The hotel is nice but didn’t [...]

3x Linux Tag and GCDS

Hi Planet FSFE,

like Adrian I decided to move my blog from kdedevelopers.org to the FSFE blogging platform which features a nice WordPress installation.

Just now I’m preparing for Gran Canaria to join the Gran Canaria Desktop Summit (and especially Akademy).

I noticed I still haven’t updated my blog with all the Linux Tag or [...]
