KDE Community: be liberal with ourselves, be harsh with others
(yes, the title is a tribute to the robustness principle) Censored In quite an aggressive move, I’ve been censored by KDE. My blog has been removed from kdeplanet. The only information I have so far is a mail (and this): SVN commit 1386393 by jriddell: Disable Thomas Capricelli’s blog for breaching Planet KDE guidelines CCMAIL:orzel@xxxxx […]

Release of Colibri 1.0-beta2

Yet another KDE QA failure
Just as lot of people here and elsewhere keep on denying KDE QA major problem, the 4.10 release is yet another proof of how bad the situation is. KDE cares so much that they already closed the bug with a oh-so-easy “not our fault”. Which is probably true, but still I consider that this shows a […]
