KDE Connecto on Android
Gleich mal updaten...
Mit der KDE Software Compilation 4.11 haben die KDE-Entwickler ein großes Update für ihre Desktop-Umgebung veröffentlicht. Die KDE-PIM-Suite Kontact wurde mit neuen Funktionen ausgestattet, die Performance verbessert.
A Year of the Linux Desktop
Great article about FLOSS in schools.
Around a year ago, a school in the southeast of England, Westcliff High School for Girls Academy (WHSG), began switching its student-facing computers to Linux, with KDE providing the desktop software. The school's Network Manager, Malcolm Moore, contacted us at the time. Now, a year on, he got in touch again to let us know how he and the students find life in a world without Windows.

Creating sieve scripts with KMail
These improvements look really nice to create sieve scripts. Still need to port several local filters to sieve.
When we want to create a script sieve, we need to know Sieve language, and we don’t use all days this language so it’s easier to create typo and error. So I decided for 4.11 to create an assistant to generate sieve code. By default end user prefers to use GUI to create filters (as sieve script is using for filter mainly). In KMail filter GUI is...
Lessons to learn
Two very intersting post-mortems about the trouble with git.kde.org from last weekend and what you could learn about backing up Git repositories.
Too Perfect A Mirror - Me, my blog, and my Johnson
How KDE's 1500-repository Git system was nearly destroyed, and how we're preventing it from happening again.
"Screw The Mirrors" - Me, my blog, and my Johnson
Backing up huge numbers of Git repositories isn't as simple as you might think. Here's why.

To express myself mildly, I'm not a fan of interfaces for mobile devices. At best, they seem clumsy makeshifts, tolerable only because no...
Plasma Active 3
Still waiting for a Vivaldi, but no news when it will be available. Maybe should buy an Archos 80 G9 so I can start using #PA3.
KDE has released the 3rd stable version of Plasma Active, KDE's device-independent user experience. The Plasma Active user interface is touch-friendly and works well across a range of devices. Its Activities function gives users a natural way to organize and access their applications, files and information. Plasma Active Three noticeably improves the user experience with its enhanced and expanded set of apps, improved performance and a new virtual keyboard.
Too bad no #KDE SC 4.9.1 tonight for my desktop. rsync is just telling me after 1 1/2 hour to-check=332/601. Something is way too slow tonight.

A New Hope: Open KDE Devices
Aaron Seigo at #Akademy 2012 about the problems to get open devices. Very interesting talk and also the explanation to the delays again for the #Vivaldi.

The Q&A part is great, too.
We are not making an app centric experience, we are making a human centric experience.

digiKam orientation not applied correctly anymore
Getting impressed by KDE again and again. The upcoming KDE SC 4.9 will be a real amazing release. I would love to attend #Akademy next time and meet the people from the community.
Btw, someone interested from #Indonesia to organise a #KDE SC 4.9 release party? I should be in Indonesia around that time and would love to meet other KDE enthusiasts.
This page is for KDE SC 4.9 release party listings. Please follow the following template for readability and keep it sorted. ...
KDEdu
The design of the KDEdu homepage is really cute. One of the nicest I have seen.
We make free educational software for children and adults, students and teachers. We make software for you....
Also very impressive list of available educational applications.
KDE SC 4.9rc1
Just had a small problem that plasma-desktop was crashing when logging in with my user. Other users had no problems. After deleting all ~/.kde/share/config/plasma* files I could login without a problem. All my sessions have been still there, so everything was allright. Just had to customize the desktop widgets a bit again.
KDE SC 4.9 really rocks! Activities work really amazing now and you have much more control over it. Also contact synchronisation with #ownCloud works again. Had some problems since the ownCloud 4.0 update. The desktop feels really responsive, quick and smooth. I ❤ it!
Too bad Slackware 14 won't ship KDE SC 4.9. 🙁
LinuxJournal about Plasma Active
Already bit old, from the release of PA2, but it presents some ideas of it quite good.
Why would you spend a few hundred dollars on a device that is little more than a smartphone (with a bigger screen, without the phone)? ...
Nice said Aaron:
"...right now, there is too much focus on created devices that serve the owner of the application store and focus on consumption of new devices just for the sake of the newness of the device".
KDE Plasma Netbook
With Unity, Cinnamon, and Gnome 3 getting all the buzz, it's easy to overlook other interesting projects that attempt to rethink the traditional desktop metaphor. Case in point, the KDE Plasma Netbook interface. Despite its moniker, the KDE's alterna...
WACkiness
This is really impressive work. Being able to selectively disable API access for apps. #WAC #Plasma #HTML5
More WACkiness « vizZzion.org :: sebas' blog
After Marco had added initial support for WAC apps to Plasma, I’ve spent a few cycles on taking this to a next level. WAC apps are apps written in HTML5 which are shipped as packaged websites with everything needed included in the package. On top o...
KDE May updates released
Nice work on the Kontact Suite. Updating tonight
May 4, 2012. Today KDE released updates for its Workspaces, Applications, and Development Platform.
These updates are the third in a series of monthly stabilization updates to the 4.8 series. 4.8.3 updates bring many bugfixes and translation updates...

This is a really interesting visualization of KDE's mirror servers I think.
