kde developer

A KDE developer tipped me off to a recent thread discussed in the kde-core-devel mailing list regarding interoperability between KDE and Gnome.

KDE.News has announced the latest interview in the People Behind KDE series.

"In the next People Behind KDE interview, we stay in the United States of America (but leave in an underwater craft!) to meet a KDE developer who could be a JuKebox in another life, someone who helps you build development versions of KDE (staying on the bleeding edge without the pain!) - tonight's star of People Behind KDE is Michael Pyne."

How Software is Built: "There are two main views of open source in Brazil. The first view is that government is moving it forward, by embracing open source and simply dropping commercial software.

This is not entirely accurate, because government does a lot of talking, and after five years or so, they finally start to make some progress–it’s slow moving."

The How Software is Built blog secured an interview with Helio Chissini de Castro , one of the KDE developers employed by Linux distributor Mandriva.

Helio talks about Mandriva, about KDE 4, and about the state of open source software in Brazil, where he is based.

OStatic: "I'm a bit taken aback by this post by Jason Harris over on the KDE Developer’s Journals site. Harris says that 'KDE, like many other open-source projects, doesn't really need users at all, whether they are poisonous or not...'"

In a new series of People Behind KDE interviews, we visit the United States of America to meet a KDE developer with an affinity for education, accessibility, and Asian culture, a person who works on getting you Hot New Stuff - tonight's star of People Behind KDE is Jeremy Paul Whiting.

KDE Developer's Journal: "It is one case to walk through 7000 pages of rather technical documentation and to try to extract something useful out of it for a concrete question.

It is another thing to look at the actual XML produced by the Microsoft Office 2007 suite...."

A KDE developer tries to make sense of the poorly documented, yet excessively long OOXML specification to see how easy it is for non-MS vendors to implement it.

Confusion ensues. Let's hope the ISO doesn't compromise its integrity by letting this crap through.
