KDE SC 4.4 Beta 1 has been released, and of course I couldn’t stay still. Thanks to the friendly openSUSE Build Service, there were packages available, so I just pointed my zypper sources to KDE:KDE4:UNSTABLE:Desktop repository, adjusted a few other things (mainly other third-party repositories) and updated.

Well, there wasn’t a Day 1 for me (I got to the hotel too late to follow the first day of the meeting), so that is why I’m starting on day 2.

In line with the project’s committment to openness, the KDE developers and contributors are not a secretive bunch. In fact, the “People Behind KDE” initiative has provided the community with interviews of quite a number of the developers. And by reading those interviews, haven’t you ever felt the need of asking a specific question, outside from those prepared by the interviewer? For example, more details about what the specific developer is doing, or what his/her plans are for the next version of KDE.
