Re: Next european linux meeting?

We will have to show Gnome and GnuStep developers what you can do with an "advanced" desktop!

<troll>So you are going start coding for Gnome? Don’t you like KDE "Kiddy Desktop Environment"?

KDE looks slick acts sick. Once KDE 3.0 is released you can wait 6 months later and KDE 4.0 will show up. KDE is only good as a KDE development tool. Maybe someday you will realize that Bob Businessperson "ME" sees this as a put-off. We see once every three years with MS as a pain. KDE will Kill KDE. Overwork your maintainers and they will quit. Stay a moving target and business people wont even look at you.</troll>

Sorry, but your arguments don't make much sense. It doesn't matter if KDE versions are released fairly often, since binary compatibility between running desktops is maintained (given that you have compatibility libraries installed).

Also, the time span between releases is several years, not six months. About the same time span exists between major releases of GNOME and GnuStep as well, and only a slightly larger one (about 50% larger) between major sub-releases of the Linux kernel, and major releases of XFree86.

KDE really isn't a moving target, and it certainly is useful as more then a KDE development tool; I use it for several hours every day, typing code for various projects in various languages (Konsole is a godsend), browsing the net with Konqi, listening to music, etc.

Constructive critisicm is good, but please back up your arguments some more.

Sorry Sir, but you're very wrong here..

At my previous job, all the developers came to work were from Windows world, and not a single developer knew about Linux..

I installed to them 2 demo machines - both machines with Red Hat 7.2 - one of them is running Gnome & one is running KDE (and KDevelop). Guess which desktop enviroments they wanted on their 60 workstations? (KDE)

I told the management that KDE is a very fast developing desktop enviroment - but it will be fully backward compatible - they took it with open hands.

So I really don't get your point, sir...
