Desktop Summit 2011

For what seems like the umpteenth year in a row, events have conspired to prevent my attending Desktop Summit/Akademy. :( However, I did want to pass on my well-wishes for a successful summit, and hopefully some constructive interaction with our GNOME counterparts and other guests.

As for myself, work on KDE things has been slow of late, for the usual reasons: School, Work, and Kids/Family.

Even with that however, I’ve been reviewing a submitted patch for KSharedDataCache to add support for Mac OS X Lion, many JuK fixes have been contributed for KDE’s 4.7 compilation, and I have managed to get kdesrc-build into a more modular source code layout, which will allow me to eventually do things like decouple support for compiling Qt from the specific module name ‘qt-copy’, add support for other buildsystems for some KDE dependencies (e.g. autogen.sh-based) and more.

Luckily school will be over soon (perhaps for good, this time). I will also be moving to a different work location soon which may give me more time on an average day (though that is still to be determined!). Either way I’ll be continuing to plug along, even if I can’t meet up with everyone once a year!
