Software Center progress report
It’s been a very long time since my last blogpost, but you can be sure I haven’t gone lost! 😉 I was very busy with writing exams (and preparing for them) the last weeks, and university was giving me a hard time. Now I still have to write two more exams, but one of them […]

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 […]
Hello Planet!
Hello KDE! My name is Matthias Klumpp, I’m a student of Molecular Biomedicine in Germany and contributor to KDE, of course 🙂 I am one of these weird people who are really working cross-desktop, which means I am also involved in some GNOME stuff and I’m running GNOME-Shell, of course, as well as KDE 4.7, […]
