17.12.2009 Aaron Seigo (aseigo): the pulse
December is almost always a hard month for me. Besides the seasonal brinkmanship with depression that I struggle with as the days dwindle away (something I liked a bit better about living closer to the equator in the past was not having to deal with that) it often seems to come with its own stew of drama. Some years are decidedly harder than others, and thankfully this one is somewhere in the middle of the pack. I'm looking forward to spending the holidays at my sister's (for the first time ever we'll get to do the Christmas thing together!) and things are looking like they are all coming toge...
04.03.2008 Dirk Mueller: The Genesis of a Plasma patch
At one day, there was a patch. The patch was small and in early development, and it was posted to the Plasma review board. A couple of minutes later, the patch was rejected. Many reasons were given: The patch didn't have the right intention, it would cause bitrod, and it broke the coding style. Not a big thing, this happens every day in a Free Software Environment. Neither something to get excited about nor something to loose hair over it. Thats the end of the story? Not quite, in the bible it took 7 days as well, right?. So lets look at it a bit more closely. Day one: The review said that the...
11.06.2008 Troy Unrau: Checking up on old articles, for shits and giggles; Praise for Polish Linux's KDE articles
So today I was reading the Polish Linux article, part of a series that is periodically covered KDE from SVN (to the delight and occasional flaming of many fans) and it reminded me of how I ended up with this Marketing thing in the first place. It's been just under a year since my last Road to KDE 4 articles went live, and for shits and giggles, I thought I'd revisit them to see what has held together through the last year, what ended up as vapour, and so forth -- For my amusement more than anything else, although it might be interesting to some. So I present...The Road [From] KDE 4[.0]My very ...
22.04.2009 Aaron Seigo (aseigo): kaizen and kakushin
I read Mark Shuttleworth's blog entry about meta-cycles this evening and was taken back in my mind to an entry I wrote in September of 2007 about Toyota.My issue with the "6 month cycle" has always been three-fold: the number 6 is a project specific detail and should not be pushed on every project because it won't fit every project (Mark notes he works on projects with 1, 3 and 6 month cycles; other cycle are also possible, of course); what we're really talking about it timed releases made with a relatively high level of consistencyThe discussion is often coupled with the idea of coordinating ...
04.01.2010 Aaron Seigo (aseigo): ++2009;
The first decade of the millennium (by our calendars, anyways :) is officially over and we're all going to have to get used to writing 2010 on things. I spent the last couple of weeks of 2009 taking a few personal days around the holidays as well as considering where we, KDE, have been and where we might be going. I wrote some notes at the end of it, and I thought I'd share some of it with all of you.We accomplished a lot in the last year, both as a community as well as personally. I'll leave the personal events, positive and difficult, to those who were involved, but try and cover some of the...
02.03.2010 Cyrille Berger: The difficult choice of removing features
Adding a new feature is usually considered easy in the open source world, and then it is taken for granted. Removing a feature, on the other hand, it is a different story. It is not about making Krita less useful, au contraire, it is about making the best for our vision. But why remove a feature, they don’t disturb, or take too much space. They still come in the way and clutter, and what is the point of a menu entry, if you are never going to use it ? Krita is now focused on being a painting application We have mentioned in our blogs entry (by me in Krita meeting 2010 – day 1 and b...
07.10.2010 Adriaan de Groot (adridg): Plasma Desktop and KDE Applications 4.5.2 on OpenSolaris
Now that the october updates for all the software shipped by the KDE community — that is, Plasma Desktop and the applications — has been released, it’s time to bump versions, etc. and kick off a bunch of builds. This follows the tried-and-true approach of replacing the version number (i.e. it now reads ‘%define kde_src_ver 4.5.2′), running make, waiting for the pkgbuild tool to report failures, fix, rinse, repeat. Usually the things we fix are just new or removed files. In this release, for instance, KHelpCenter has a new documentationnotfound/ directory and some ...
15.11.2011 Kubuntu Outcomes from Precise UDS
Hacking between sessions, Quintasan, fregl, afiestas The Ubuntu Developer Summit was in Florida again for a week of sessions, specs, work items, discussions and mouse burgers. We had a lot of useful Kubuntu sessions and came up with a long list of things to do over the next six months. The list of specs gives the work items, our Todo list for the Precise cycle. In Kubuntu Precise Packaging we discussed what we should package for the forthcoming LTS release. Whereas Ubuntu Desktop will not be upgrading to the latest Gnome we decided that upgrading to the latest KDE releases is safe enough for...
02.03.2012 Kubuntu 12.04 LTS Beta 1
This week I've been on Ubuntu release driver duty for Beta 1. Ubuntu has lots of flavours there days and they all need to be nudged to ensure they get their testing and announcements done in time. We only had a few hiccups, some of the flavours had to be respun late last night for fixes and do lots of testing today. Ubuntu (poor under-resourced flavour that it is) also didn't update their upgrade instructions in good time and some grumping at them was needed (sorry, I get grumpy quickly these days with my traumatised brain). Slashdot linked to the wrong URL for downloading Ubuntu CDs so I had...
15.03.2016 3.0 Pre-alpha 3 is out!
Today was an important day for the Krita project! We entered feature freeze! That means that from now on until the release of Krita 3.0, which is planned for April 27th, we won’t be working on adding new features, but we’ll be fixing bugs, fixing bugs and fixing more bugs! If you want to help us identify and triage bugs, read this article: “Ways to Help Krita: Bug Triaging“. It’s the first of what’s intended to be a series of reference articles on ways to help Krita grow and become better and better. Since Krita 3.0 is frozen, we know exactly which Kickstart...
