Interview with Sebastian Kuegler, KDE Developer
invisibastard writes "Linux Tech Daily has an interview with KDE's Sebastian Kuegler. Sebastian talks about the KDE 4.0 release event, goes into detail about how KDE has improved its processes and much more. '[...] there are many easy ways to help. The most obvious is helping people installing KDE, answering questions on forums, IRC and other media. Lately, we're getting also an increased amount of requests for speakers. Often local LUGs are interested in talks by KDE knowledgeable people. It might sound a bit scary, representing KDE in your local LUG, but it's really what KDE is about. Everybody comes from a local community, that is where our grassroots are. People often don't think that they are entitled to represent KDE, but that's just not the case at all. In fact, the marketing and promo team have a hard time finding enough speakers for all events. Slides are usually available, so it doesn't need all that much preparation.'
This fucking post and the parent are not fucking offtopic, these are trolling posts if you are going to mod MOD THE FUCKING POST CORRECTLY!!!!
GTK is a widget toolkit. Qt is a money-maker for Trolltech... and not just a widget toolkit. Qt grows more and more bloated with every version, with ambitions to be a half-assed Java (without the benefits of bytecode). The KDE project has been ceding more and more functions into Qt with every single new version, rather than building their own "framework" on and around it... it's really quite pathetic.
While I bow to no-one in my total contempt for much of the suckage in GTK, it was designed to be modular (GDK, GTK, ATK, Pango) and was NEVER meant to funnel money into one company (like Qt and Trolltech).
