aKademy Talk on Gentoo & KDE Accepted

Posted by Marcus D. Hanwell on

I am pleased to announce that my talk submission on 'Gentoo & KDE' has been accepted. I am really looking forward to attending this year's aKademy which is being held in Glasgow. I am camping nearby and will certainly make it along to everything on the weekend.

I hope we will have other Gentoo users in attendance, I have learnt in the last few days that we have quite a few KDE developers who use Gentoo and even hang out in #gentoo-kde on Freenode. That channel seems to have more people in there everyday. I have always enjoyed meeting developers and users in real life after hours spent chatting online but have not had chance to make it to many conferences in the last year.

As part of my research in the last week or so I have been checking stuff out in KDE 4 and trying them out. I have to say the okular is already looking awesome. It would have been so good to have had this available throughout my PhD work but I think it will be well worth the wait. Kalzium is also looking fantastic with its 3D molecular editor. I am hoping to help make it even more awesome this summer too. Hopefully more on that later...

Some other stuff I haven't managed to get working just yet but it is in very heavy development. I only wish I had more time to help out now but finishing my thesis is currently top of my priority list ;-) There are new versions of digiKam and K3b in portage that are looking great but personally I can't wait for KDE4!
