| Сегодня, 20 октября, Qt Software (ранее известная как Trolltech) анонсировала доступность первого Technology Preview библиотеки Qt для платформы Symbian S60, активно продвигаемой компанией Nokia. Доступны коммерческая и свободная (GPLv2 или v3) версии библиотеки, не отличающиеся ничем, кроме текста лицензии. На данный момент поддерживается только третья редакция S60 FP1 и выше. Для демонстрации возможностей библиотеки разработчики предпочитают использовать Nokia N95. Первую законченную версию Qt для платформы S60 обещают выпустить во втором квартале 2009 года.

 April this year we started a new project here in Oslo called “Qt for S60″ and I’ve been wanting to blog about it ever since. Now I finally can! Basically we’re porting Qt to yet another platform: S60, which roughly gives us around 80 million new devices Qt can run on. Our vision of Qt Everywhere is becoming more and more of a reality. And it feels good. Let’s get to the important stuff. Click here to: About the tech-preview and the demos The Qt for S60 pre-release packages comes in two license flavours, either download the opensource (GPL2 or GPL3) package or the preview-commercial package. Content wise there is no real difference between them. However, the opensource package contains pre-compiled binaries which the preview commercial package does not. The reason ...read more...

As I write this, over 470 people have taken the time to fill out the poll asking if I should do a KDE videocast and the affirmatives were overwhelming.
A significant percentage, nearly 1 in 5, are interested in development tutorials and information related to development. I didn't expect quite that big a percentage, to be honest, but that's great news.
A few were interested in the business aspects of things, but the majority are mostly interested in either anything and everything or else information of interest to the end user.
So I've decided that I will do a weekly show. Given the responses and some further thinking about it all, I've been working on a draft schedule that I could mold each show around:
- Intro: 2 minutes of saying "Hi" and what the topics are for the show
- "The Week in Review": 3 minutes covering quickie like release related updates, progress stats and news headlines from places such as theDot
- "The Headline": 10 minutes on a topic I find interesting in ...read more...

| Проект OpenInkpot сообщает о релизе свободной прошивки 0.1, пригодной для пользователей. Версия 0.1 означает, что ещё многое предстоит сделать, но прошивка уже предоставляет всё необходимое для чтения электронных книг. Поддерживаемые устройства: Hanlin V3 и V3ext (эти устройства выпускаются под другими брендами: lBook, DigiBook, Walkbook, BEBOOK, Papyre). Поддерживаемые форматы файлов (во всех форматах не поддерживаются таблицы): (FB2, HTML, CHM, Plucker, zTxt, TCR, RTF, OEB, OpenReader, Mobipocket (без DRM, но с поддержкой huff/cdic-сжатия), TXT. Поддерживается чтение файлов в архивах tar, zip, gzip и bz2. Новость взята здесь: http://www.the-ebook.org/rus/?p=547 P.S. Судя по обсуждению этого релиза на форуме ( http://www.the-ebook.org/forum/viewto... ) дистрибутив уже вполне пригоден для использования, а это не может не радовать. Следует заметить, что в настоящее время во многих (всех?) устройствах на базе e-ink используется модифицированное ядро linux, при этом производители грубо нарушают лицензию GPL обязывающую их предоставлять модифицированные исходники используемые в распространяемом ими устройстве.

| So, the eagle-eyed of you may have noticed something happen to my T61 as I was taking screenshots of the LTSP setup for LEL.... That's right! I have finally switched from my beloved KDE 3.5 to KDE 4.1. And I'm very happy about it indeed. For a long time I was hearing all these tales of "KDE 4 is not ready for user type X. However, we recommend it for user types Y and Z" type stories. So, despite me spending lots of time studying the code, compiling the code and generally learning more about the guts of KDE, I wasn't actually using it. It finally clicked that I should make the switch when I got the LTSP going. [If you want to skip these thoughts and get to the point, feel free to skip to the section headed "The Point"] So, here's the stuff I really like...

Some months ago when the #kwin Channel was created I decided to stop by and ask the wonderful people there about some weird ideas I had about shadows and fixing the bad windec corners on Oxygen. Luckily Lucas Murray had the patience to listen to me and actually something was started. Basically we can now provide custom shadows for kwin and that includes active shadow and inactive shadow. The big bonus we got was that we can now ship shadows that include our corners without the aliasing problems. Casper Boemann endured me all weekend long moaning about pixels so we could get this results... I Must say I'm extremely happy with the results it seemed like something impossible to get just a a few months ago. On another front we managed to get rid of the not so pretty scrollbars we had thanks to the ...read more...

| You asked, and I deliver. I made an alternative stylesheet for Planet KDE with variable width. View -> Use Stylesheet -> Variable Width. My HTML foo is weak so it has mysterious gaps at below the header and above the footer for no reason I can see, plus the top and bottom shadow effects are semi-transparent and overlap in ways I wouldn't want. But it should be good enough for those wanting something that fits on an N810 screen. Here's some pictures to keep you amused.

| For a course I did (Information Security) we had to create our own gpg key and do some signing and encrypting, well the normal stuff you seem to do with these things. As a side note, I did already did this twice some time ago but forgot the passwords of my private keys because I never used them so now I have two dangling accounts on the pgp servers *sigh*. However, this made me have a look at KGpg which in turn made me cry. Heh, it seems in a not too good state. Having a bit of time, and being really annoyed by issues in the key server configuration page made me start hacking on it a bit. I fixed (hopefully) all issues in there. I have done this in trunk, maybe I should also back port this to 3.5 as the issues seems to be there also. I don't know if there is a maintainer currently and if there is I hope I didn't pass you by. I did a quick search on bugs.kde.org but did not ...read more...

| By popular demand, here is a quick and easy recipe to make a home-made, fresh, delicious lamb pizza. For faithful Planet KDE readers who are sick of my occasional food ramblings, please skip this one (again). 
A little story about this pizza. Signor Portale (better known as Alessandro), our beloved Italian-German Troll who was in Oslo for a visit, once wisely described the typical pizza sold in the common pizzeria as a bread with homeopathic tomato sauce, simply because the crust is so thick (like a bread) and is not even covered properly by those few accidental tiny drops of the tomato sauce. And let us not even talk about the toppings, usually so thin it is more a bread spread then the well-deserved pizza toppings. Hence, the subsequent real-pizza-making sessions with him. BTW, the result of the following recipe has been surely tested by some Trolls, including Signor Portale himself. As ...read more...

| I guess most database reporting apps can do this, and now Kexi can be added to the list. We could already embed a chart in a report, and assign it a set of data, but what if you want the chart to change depending on the data in the main report? The way to do that is with master->child field links. You specify a field (or fields) in the report (the master) which will be used as an expression on a field (or fields) in the chart (the child). If you're used to msa, its the same as you get with sub forms/reports/charts. This lets you do something like this. The example is a bit boring, but its the first thing I could think of after getting the implementation working :)

|  I am back in Oslo for a short rest before flying again to US. Of course, I am still having symptoms of sleep deprivation, in the last 5 days in Munich I managed to accumulate only 19 hours of sleep. Though the schedule was tight, I could squeeze few hours of sight-seeing, among others to visit Castle Neuschwanstein and Viktualienmarkt.
At least in my opinion, Qt Developer Days 2008 in Munich was a success. Our fellow Trolls who organized this event did a great job. We announced a fresh Qt IDE called Greenhouse and also the first Pimp My Widgets contest (the pimp himself was there on-stage), ate a piece of the 5-years DevDays cake, had a wonderful dinner with the partners and customers, and of course enjoyed a lot of talks and discussions with them as well. I was quite content with my ...read more...

Elektra является универсальной иерархической базой конфигураций, напоминающей GConf или реестр Windows. Она позволяет программам читать и сохранять их конфигурации в базу с последовательным API, а также позволяет им использовать конфигурации сторонних приложений, эффективно и легко используя преимущества интеграции.
Все охватываемые возможности API показаны в kdb.h, и все релизы в 0.7.0 будут на 100% ABI и API совместимы. С, по крайней мере, годовой поддержкой.
Все новшества 0.7.0, изменения в API и исходные кода можно посмотреть на страничке.

| В сентябре этого года произошло знаменательное событие. На бескрайних просторах России широкой публике впервые была представлена OpenSource среда 3D моделирования и анимации Blender. Два небезызвестных в российском сообществе блендеролога Дмитрий Гриценко aka AzoDeeps и Дмитрий Изранцев aka bdancer представляли Blender. В первый раз это произошло 27 сентября на Blender Seminar 2008 в Нижнем Новгороде, организованном Нижегородской Группой Пользователей Linux (NNLUG) специально для жителей города интересующихся 3D, но не знающих с чего начать. Вторая презентация состоялась 28 сентября на Linux Install Fest 2008 опять же в Нижнем Новгороде. (большое спасибо за поддержку компаниям ООО "ЭЛСИС" и ЗАО "Биплан") И последняя, но при этом наиболее интересная и значимая, презентация Blender состоялась 1,2 и 3 октября в Москве на выставке SoftTool. За возможность представлять OpenSource продукт на всероссийской выставке особую благодарность хотелось бы выразить компании Alt Linux О впечатлениях и содержании мероприятий можно узнать "из первых рук" в рассказе Дмитрий Гриценко "Blender Road Show 2008" по ссылке ниже.

Quick notification: on Saturday the 18th (tomorrow by my clock, but today already for many others) there is a Plasma meeting to determine our game plan leading up to the hard feature freeze mid-November. It will start at 15:00 UTC. Plasma people: be there, or be square!
I'm also considering doing a weekly live broadcast via Ustream.tv. I'd like to do some technical tutorials, do some general user updates and some KDE business related updates (e.V. stuff, for instance). I'd like to make it interactive with people asking questions or providing input on an IRC channel. I'm still not completely sold on the idea ... so I'd like to hear what you think.
Btw, I haven't found any Free internet broadcasters (meaning ones that don't use flash or other proprietary stuff), so if you know of one please let me know.
Also, if anyone knows of any decent Free software that runs on Linux that can combine a live video stream with a live desktop stream, please let me know. Otherwise, I think there's a ...read more...
