GNOME and KDE: Seven Attractions in Each
» ‎ tuxmachines.org

Tags: kde

earthweb.com: Despite all the talk about the mythical Year of the Linux Desktop, somewhere in the last few years, free software passed a milestone without anyone noticing. At some point, after years of struggling to rival proprietary desktops, both GNOME and KDE have caught up in features and narrowed the gap in usability.

KDE apuesta por una nube libre: ownCloud

Tags: kde

Cuenta Sergio Rondan: «En la actualidad, la "nube" es un tema muy cuestionado en el mundo del software libre, ya que la mayoría de los servicios de almacenamiento de datos online suelen ser de empresas que no nos permiten conocer como funciona su plataforma, limitando nuestra privacidad y libertad. [...] Entonces, desde el Proyecto KDE surge una nueva idea: ¿Qué tal si armamos una nube libre? En estos días se esta llevando a cabo el Camp KDE y se están hablando de muchísimas cosas, muy interesantes, como de esta nueva nube libre denominada ownCloud. Para empezar obviamente, será un desarrollo totalmente libre, licenciado bajo una licencia AGPL. La idea es tener una nube personal, es decir, que cada uno se instale ownCloud en sus casas. Como se trata de un proyecto libre, la seguridad y privacidad de los datos es un tema extremadamente importante, por lo que ownCloud pondrá énfasis en esos puntos».

In sync with its release schedule, the KDE team has released KDE 4.3.1, the latest and greatest in the KDE line. This monthly release includes fixes for many outstanding bugs, including several crash fixes, and support for transferring files over ssh via KIO::Fish. Those who use KDE can wait for it to be updated on its own or can always download it themselves. On a sadder note, a family member of one of the developers on the team recently passed away; this release is dedicated to her. "KDE 4.3.1 is dedicated to Emma Hope Pyne, the daughter of Michael Pyne. Emma Hope suddenly passed away last week. The KDE community feels incredibly sad about this loss and wishes Michael and the family and friends all the strength needed to cope with the loss of Emma Hope." Our best wishes go out to Michael and his family.

KDE 4.3 RC3 Released

Tags: kde

The KDE project has announced the third release candidate of KDE 4.3, set to be released August 4. "While 4.3 already feels very stable, there still have been quite some changes to the code-base since the second release candidate. In order to have the 4.3.0 release well-tested, the release team decided to put out another release candidate and postpone the final 4.3.0 release by one week. The most notable change is probably a fix for a performance problem in Plasma, where applets would shortly freeze after being resized. This bug has been resolved by delaying the caching of rendered SVG images until after the resizing has finished."

KDE4 trajo muchas nuevas tecnologías y patrones de diseño, y decidimos usar esta oportunidad para mejorar por sobre el diseño original de Amarok. Pensamos sobre como diseñar mejor un programa que nos permitiría estar a la vanguardia de la administración de música digital. También buscamos distinguir Amarok en un saturado mercado de reproductores de música. Para conseguir esto tomamos las mejores ideas de la serie 1.x, y realizamos una lluvia de ideas sobre que hacer para que nuestros usuarios "redescubrieran la música"».

Akademy 2008 Up and Running, Much News
» ‎ OSNews

Tags: kde

It's been a couple of days since Akademy 2008 started, and a steady stream of news is coming through the KDE.news site. The general day 1 article described the atmosphere and two Keynotes. The first keynote was about increasing community involvement, and the refreshing ideas in there really set the tone for Akademy: innovation and integration. The second keynote was about Nokia, who discussed their long-term commitment to Qt and KDE. Tuesday, Nokia gave away 100 N810 internet devices to KDE developers to prove their point, and there is also an article about Nokia and Mozilla doing a Firefox port to Qt. Finally, there is the Embedded and Mobile day going on right now, with very interesting talks. Separate news articles started to appear, covering the many improvements in Qt 4.5, work by the KDE-PIM hackers, JOLIE bringing service-oriented computing to the Free Desktop, and an overview of what was discussed and decided upon during the meeting of the legal organizaton behind KDE, the e.V. During that meeting, the e.V. quarterly report was released, and it was decided to endorse the new Community Working Group, and a Code of Conduct.

'Reimagining the Desktop'
» ‎ OSNews

Tags: kde

Here is an interesting discussion of the changes KDE 4.x (via Mandriva Linux 2009 pre-releases) brings to desktop interaction. The article argues that KDE 4 might very well be the next big thing in computing, as it finally tries to steer away from the Xerox desktop metaphor we've all been using since the glory days of disco. While I personally don't really believe KDE 4.x to be revolutionary (I see it more as evolution with pepper in its butt), the article details many of the new things in KDE 4.x, and might make the lives of those first confronted with the new desktop just that little bit easier.

KMail, KNode and Mailody now share settings.

Tags: kde

Tom Albers's blog: Sometime ago Volker Krause extracted the mail sending part from KMail and put it in a separate library. Last night Volker changed KMail to also use MailTransport. So now KMail, Mailody and KNode are all using MailTransport. That means that when you add or change a smtp-server in Mailody, it is also available in KMail and KNode.

The Lesser Apps of KDE - Graphics
» ‎ tuxmachines.org

Tags: kde

Raiden's Realm: One of the greater benefits I've found while using KDE is the wide range of applications that come bundled with it. While some would call that bloat, I call it a benefit. But one of the disadvantages of having so many included applications is that sometimes some really good programs get lost in the shuffle or forgotten about. These are what I call the "Lesser Apps of KDE".

State of KPilot

Tags: kde

OpenSync is a syncing framework. It syncs data. The scope of OpenSync doesn't encompass application management, retrieving doodles (what would they sync with?), keeping accurate device backups, etc. These fall squarely in the device-specific handling category -- I'm not going to claim that KPilot does any of these well, though, except for retrieving doodles because Joerg wrote that code.

KDE’s Panel Vacuum

I’m quite amazed by how technologies which I used to discard as ‘hype’ (like, Solid or Phonon or so) actually seem to work. For real. Maybe I should feel a bit of shame but I don’t since this reflex of being sceptical of projects which have a fancy code name but not visible code base has proven quite useful in the past - helps to avoid working on vapourware.

The Road to KDE 4: Solid Brings Hardware Configuration to KDE
» ‎ OSNews

Tags: kde

"One of the many new technologies for KDE 4 is the often mentioned, but seldom explained Solid hardware API. Hardware has always been a bit of an annoying element of using Linux and other UNIX-like operating systems, but Solid hopes to fix that for KDE 4. In many ways, Solid is like Phonon, in that it's a Qt/KDE style API around already existing components at the lower level, such as freedesktop.org's HAL. It is already quite functional in the backend, and it's already affecting visible KDE components."

KDE 4 Snapshot Screenshot Tour
» ‎ OSNews

Tags: kde

"Stephan Binner, a well-known KDE and openSUSE developer, has released a set of live CDs featuring the latest development snapshot of KDE 4 (screenshots). Unlike the SLAX-based live CD called KLAX, which he used to develop in order to demonstrate new KDE releases, his 'KDE Four Live' images are based on openSUSE. After a large, uncompressed live DVD released earlier in the week, a set of smaller live CDs (compressed with Squashfs) is now also available for download. Don't expect trouble-free computing with these early KDE 4 snapshots, but as demonstration tools designed to give KDE users an early taste of things to come, they aren't too bad. The first alpha build of KDE 4 is scheduled for release early next week."
