Re: Encourage KDE developers to join Kubuntu!

Look into Ark Linux ( http://ArkLinux.org ) -- it is 100% KDE-centric and always up to date.

"SUSE's focus on KDE is vanishing. Prefers Mono for business reasons"

The Mono implementation of .NET sucks big time, and Novell is setting itself up to be crushed by a lawsuit from Micro$oft. Novell would be much better off taking Google's example and betting on Python and KDE. PyKDE is already supported commercially, is used to build real-world tools (ie. Guidance), and is used in universities to teach object-oriented programming.

Part of the reason why the Ubuntu developer base is so biased toward gnome is that gnomers like Jeff Waugh post to planet.gnome.org whenever there is a job opening at Ubuntu (http://perkypants.org/blog/2006/03/06/jobs-at-canonical/). KDE devs should also inform each other about employment opportunities by blogging and sending emails to KDE developer lists ( https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel ).

KDE is technically years ahead of gnome, but KDE devs don't publicize their work as much. KDE devs: BLOG about *every* improvement you make, and feed your blog to http://Planet.KDE.org .

Follow this rule: No svn commit without a blog! (ok, I'm exaggerating, but you get the point :-)
