Who Needs
Windows 7 When You've Got KDE?
"As
a devoted free software user, I'm almost as likely to stick my hand
down a running garbarator as buy a copy of Windows 7. In fact, so far,
I haven't tried Windows 7. But if its features list is any indication,
I'm missing little that I don't already have with the latest version of
the KDE desktop."

Boosting
Linux: Maybe we're going about it the wrong way?
"For years I've
been one who's run up and down the halls stomping for Linux, advising
people to switch to a better OS because of any of a hundred different
reasons. But a recent article by Sam Varghese of ITWire may have
changed my mind, and my focus, on what's needed to make Linux king of
the OS's."

Akonadi goes
Web2.0
"Lots of people
are posting about implementing functionality in web browsers to do what
we do today in rich clients... I don’t know what’s going on, but I
didn’t want Akonadi to miss the party. At the recent Akonadi sprint, I
decided to spend some time putting together a proof of concept for a
web client for Akonadi..."

KDE4
Demonstrates Choice Is Not A Usability Problem
"A
few days ago we found a nice blog post on the usability approach taken
by the KDE community for the KDE 4 series. We have contacted the author
to see if he was interested in doing a guest article for the dot
expanding on his blog post. So without further ado, I present a writing
by Daniel Memenode, web publisher and designer... KDE always stood out
as a desktop environment that doesn't shy away from giving you lots of
options and features. It is no wonder that one of its flagship
products, Konqueror, was often compared to a swiss army knife. It could
be used as a file manager for both local and remote files, an image
viewer and a fairly powerful web browser shifting from one role to the
other as needed."

Preparing
Gnome 2.28
I continue
building all packages for GNOME 2.28 and its dependencies. The work is
just about this. Just building packages including libraries and
applications. Also during this weeks I am trying increase our
repository by building more and more new packages and libraries,
including few new applications I did not test before. Some of these
applications are GTK+2 related and not part of GNOME and can be used by
XFCE and KDE, allthough I will continue try build a KDE gtk+2 free
distribution.
KDE
4.3 on Slackware
Patrick uploaded
a new KDE series for Slackware, any GoblinX user can try download and
test. As I am migrating our resources to a new project I will probably
not upgrade our repository right now.
