Hello Planet! I am Matthias Klumpp and I will work on making AppStream work for openSUSE as part of the Google Summer of Code this year. I study Molecular Biomedicine in my second semester in Germany and I use Linux for years now. I contribute to KDE (mainly to Apper, the PackageKit-based KDE package manager) […]

Meet the Tux!
A little follow-up from my last post about birthday presents: I guess I can now consider me a real Linux user/developer, because I now own a big plush Tux, like every good Linux user should do: A great present ^^ The Tux is now sitting next to my desk and I hope he will have […]
Listaller 0.5.4 released!
And again, a new release of Listaller is out. But this release is special, it is probably the most important Listaller release so far. I’m glad to announce the availability of the first usable release of Listaller. “Usable” in this case means that you can build Listaller packages, without having to worry that their format […]

Keine Skype-Integration in Linux
Die absolut ätzenste Anwendung, die ich unter Linux nutze, ist für mich Skype. Der proprietäre Skype-Client lässt sich nur mit einigen Hacks überhaupt zum reibungslosen Betrieb zwingen, stürzt bei mir mindestens einmal die Woche ab und ist nicht wirklich speichereffizient. Zudem ist Skype das einzige Protokoll, was sich nicht in das globale Kommunikationssystem Telepathy integriert. […]
Wanted: KDE color management KCM
I don’t know how many of you are reading Planet GNOME, but I bet not too many. 😛 That’s why I’d like to draw your attention to this blogpost by Richard Hughes. Color management is present in all modern operating systems, including Microsoft Windows and Apple OS-X, as well as GNOME has support for it […]
KDE System Settings Usability
First of all: Everything in this blogpost is just my personal opinion. I am not a developer of KDE System Settings. I am also not a designer or usability-expert, so please just read this as a collection of subjective, personal impressions. Of course I am willing to help if I can 🙂 Recently, I installed […]
Listaller Project – An introduction
This article is not directly KDE-related, so you might want to skip it. But if you’re interested in a cool project simplifying the way software is distributed on Linux, read on! 😀 At time, if you develop a new application “Foo”, you as an upstream developer let other experienced people distribute your application in Linux-Distribution […]
Announcing LibDanceTag
It’s again time to announce a new project I’m working on. This is a low-priority project, so you don’t need to fear that the other stuff I’m doing will get less attention 😀 This new project I’m talking about is LibDanceTag, which is – you might already have guessed it – a shared library. This […]
DS2011 – Panel on Copyright Assignment
Einige Leute hatten mich gefragt, ob ich nicht etwas zum “Panel on Copyright Assignment” schreiben kann, welches grade vor ein paar Stunden auf dem Desktop Summit in Berlin zuende ging. Das kann ich natürlich machen, hatte ich damals ja auch versprochen 🙂 Da morgen aber das Programm schon extrem früh weiter geht, und daher die […]
