I am very late with this, but I still wanted to write a few words about Akademy 2015. First of all: It was an awesome conference! Meeting all the great people involved with KDE and seeing who I am working with (as in: face to face, not via email) was awesome. We had some very […]

AppStream 0.7 specification and library released
Today I am very happy to announce the release of AppStream 0.7, the second-largest release (judging by commit number) after 0.6. AppStream 0.7 brings many new features for the specification, adds lots of good stuff to libappstream, introduces a new libappstream-qt library for Qt developers and, as always, fixes some bugs. Unfortunately we broke the […]
Tanglu 2 (Bartholomea annulata) status update #1
It is time for a new Tanglu update, which has been overdue for a long time now! Many things happened in Tanglu development, so here is just a short overview of what was done in the past months. Infrastructure Debile The whole Tanglu distribution is now built with Debile, replacing Jenkins, which was difficult to […]
Want AppStream metadata for your KDE project? Act now!
And again, another KDE-AppStream post 😉 If you want to know more about AppStream metadata and why adding it to your project is a good idea, you might be interested in this blogpost (and several previous ones I wrote). Originally, my plan was to directly push metadata to most KDE projects. The problem is that […]
AppStream Clarifications
While reading stuff posted by others about AppStream, and because of the discussion happening about AppData on kde-core-devel right now, I feel the need to clarify a few things. Especially because some are implementing AppStream in a way which is not really ideal right now. This is to some extend my fault, because I should […]
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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
Notiz: ICQ mit alternativen Clients wieder zum Funktionieren bringen
Und wieder ein Grund mehr, allen Freunden, welche noch ICQ nutzen, Jabber als Chatprotokoll der Wahl ans Herz zu legen: Seit gestern funktioniert ICQ mit freien Clients wie Kopete, Empathy oder Pidgin mal wieder nicht. Das Problem äußert sich in den meisten Fällen dadurch, dass der ICQ-Server scheinbar das Passwort nicht mehr akzeptiert. Zum Glück […]
