KDE 4.0 coming a month later
For the people reading the commit-digest.org from last weekend (http://commit-digest.org/issues/2007-07-22/) already noticed what was posted by mail:
No, I don’t think we are ready for a beta release and the API + Feature Freeze that goes with a beta release.
I think we should tag an Alpha3 on 25 July and extend our freeze dates forward another [...]

Dear readers!
Welcome to the readers coming over through StumbleUpon, Digg, VistaSucks and LinuxToday and everybody else!
With the guide I started a rough draft for a way to get Linux mainstream and I would love to develop this idea further so at the end there could be a complete roadmap. What do I need? I need a [...]

I’ve been researching the backgrounds around the current KDE 4 development and I’m missing the existence of a vision for the 4.0 desktop. It doesn’t seem to me that the innovation that was promised to arrive with 4.0 is going to be in the 4.0 release. One of the reasons is probably that there is [...]

Rumor has it that Ubuntu/Canonical might be next in line for an “exclusive” (haha) deal with Microsoft. Rumor. It seems that the Canonical people are keeping up the good fight for now together with Red Hat but you never know. Therefore I would like to express that I want all these cooperations to know that [...]

It has bugged me from the beginning that KDE was going to be the little sister of big brother GNOME in the Ubuntu distro. That’s why I began to state the whole issue by just referring to the website of both of the projects. A reader commented on this post and made me feel even [...]

Welcome in the world of tomorrow.

Welcome in the world of tomorrow.
While Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are hanging out together and having a great time on stage, we see Linux move foward to – whatever – nothing. The guy who brought Linux on the Dell finally got that done but where is the Linux world really heading? Nowhere!
Nothing has happened [...]

So I started more on the Ubuntu/Kubuntu side and now moved more to a general Linux view, thats where I will stay, but I still want to have a good look at the most-popular distro at the moment, Ubuntu, and Kubuntu, because its KDE and shows diffrent approached, and then will put that together as [...]
