KDE Developer Sirtaj Singh Kang Interviewed

Posted by timothy on from the level-headed dept.

highwaytohell writes "Sirtaj Singh Kang is a KDE developer and an official spokesman for KDE in Australia. In this interview conducted by the Sydney Morning Herald he talks about how the KDE project manages to maintain its hierarchy, where he sees KDE in the future, Linux portability issues and the relationship between Trolltech and KDE developers. The article gives a good insight into how maintainers and developers work to maintain one of the more popular window managers for Linux. Certainly worth a read."

    As part of their interview process, the KDE project has prospective candidates try to pronounce and spell "Sirtaj Singh Kang" correctly. So far the only members are Sirtaj and Sirtaj's mom.

    People who work on KDE rather than on GNOME take valuable development away from the GNOME project. People who take valuable development away from the GNOME project are terrorists.

  4. Whats happening with gnome? by SystematicPsycho · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I haven't been keeping up to date but have the gnome ppl fallen behind? From the stories I've been hearing it seems that they have a resource allocation problem and not getting priorities straight. I just hope that the original developers haven't all jumped onto mono and neglected everything else.

    Ah. So, in a historical sense...

    KDE = Linux

  7. Window Managers? by lemonparty.org · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I've kind of been out of the loop for a while, since when are Gnome and KDE window managers? Last time I used either, they didn't control placement of windows and such. Though I do remember Gnome doing backgrounds.
