Hi folks !

First, sorry for my long silence after Association Subscribers Manager v3.2 release. I recently got a new job and it's tiring... A lot !

Helping a cousin project : lemonPOS (©Guillaume De Bure)

Lemon POS screens

Following other people from the KDE Finance Apps group (like Guillaume), I will help a great project to get some vision on the Web/KDE planet (when I finally got aggregated... or not...) : Lemon POS.

Lemon POS is the only Open Source Point Of Sale software I am aware of and it looks like something really interesting to me. I think that if you are running a small or medium business you should definetly try this out ! Lemon POS is KDE 4.x powered and thus looks very beautiful in addition to be useful and just this should makes you think twice about this... When I see how hugly POS software usually are... It almost makes your eyes bleed !

Anyway give it a try and visit the Lemon POS homepage !

Big day today : KDE 4.0.0 announcement and starting 10 days snowboarding

By Arnaud Dupuis on Friday 11 January 2008, 07:49

Hi,
Well almost everything was said in the title... The main information for the planet is the official KDE 4.0.0 announcement (and the huge party in Mountain View) ! I tried to help the dream to become true, and I want to thanks all the KDE core developers : THANK YOU SO MUCH !

Thanks to Aaron, Anne-Marie, Jonathan, Adriaan and all the community the next generation desktop is now a reality and for the sake of the Open Source community's dynamism it's a great news. And for the sake of my desktop it's even a greater news !
I just can't wait for the images/video/blog entries of the release party ! I hope you will enjoy the same feeling I did the first time I got Plasma running.
Now for my little announcement : as soon as the C++ part of the slack-get library is written, I'll write a Plasmoid which will allow you to stay up-to-date by just looking at your (beautiful) desktop !

Last but not least, starting today I take a break from all coding activities (slack-get as well as KDE), and go 10 days in the Alps trying breaking one or two legs on my snowboard !
I'll try to provide some pictures ;-)
If the internet can't climb to Val d'Isère, or if I'm so badly hurt that i can't use my laptop, or if i'm just too lazy to write a blog entry : see you in 10 days ! More probably : see you in few days.

Trolltech's big move !

By Arnaud Dupuis on Thursday 13 December 2007, 20:25

TodayTrolltech announced that the Phonon back-ends they have developped are being hosted on KDE's SVN repository !
That's a hell of great news since it bring back-ends for both windows and Mac OS X KDE's port !
As a programmer I'm very excited with KDE 4 and all the things around like Phonon, Solid and the others. And since I'm a big fan of Qt I'm very glad that Trolltech made such a great move.
Keep going on !
