KOffice Logos & Icons

NLnet provided new KOffice logos (and it sponsors ODF development). Kudos for that!
To help readers of the announcement, let's note that application logo is not always equal to its icon.

pim on win

Good evening from Osnabrück; Tom shares some facts from the day 1 with you, so all I have now (before putting my hand on svn commit) is some graphics. Recently (except for updating opensuse) I have switched from winnt5 to winnt6 on my notebook (thanks Adriaan!).

I need to admit I am regular user of Akregator under Vista now (which is -- repeat-after-me -- fully functional -- aKregator I mean, not Vista Eye-wink). I am also slowly moving to KMail as well on the OS. The latter KDE app runs with POP3/SMTP/IMAP/SASL support offered out of the box.

Read on for the gfx...

KDE-Windows-How-To-Join -HOWTO

Just decided to write some info here as more and more people are interested in joining the KDE project, at least as active users that want to provide valuable feedback. In particular they are asking about various most-used applications like KOffice or KDE-PIM/Kontact.

First, there is a dedicated techbase page http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/KDE_on_Windows

Read on for more hints...

KDateTime::addYears(1)

This xmas I was given a watch. It's pretty geeky one LCD Lexon E8, but for me still easier to accept than real binary counters.

Sybase and MS SQL Server Support

|

From KDE4-enterprise-functionality dept.: As already noted in the Commit Digest, another database driver (i.e. data provider) has been built on top of Kexi's database abstraction layer (KexiDB 2, codenamed Predicate). It is Sybase driver, also aimed at handling MS SQL Server connections.

Usable TechBase layout

Too many KDE folks refuse to use http://techbase.kde.org/ because it breaks blocks of code.

You can however make it usable. A hint just for you:

Another nightly build from Berlin

| | |

How's possible that most of my nightly builds I mention here, come from Berlin so far? Tasty food ensured by Trolltech or KDAB? Weißbier?


(gfx by mkbart, based on Oxygen icons)

In Berlin KDAB headquarters we have found all facilities needed for hacking. Awesome!

Anyway, here come another two KOffice apps running on Windows. Read on for tasty screenshots >>>

To docbook or not to docbook?

Recently I work on updating polish translation of QCad manual before its release in OpenOffice Polska. Andrew Mustun, QCad author, has switched to xparrot documenting tool, i.e. an online and offline toolkit, containing markup which is simplified compared to docbook.

Epilogue: Trolltech is listening

Not even 2 days after out meeting in Berlin, there is an epilogue of the story: Qt/Windows Open Source Edition will support VS Express.

Berlin by night...


(click to enlarge)

Yes, this is working copy of KWord 2.0 alpha running on KDE 4 under MS Windows, compiled during KDE-On-Windows meeting in Berlin. I must say local Trolltech's office is great environment for developing.
