Congrats ! and well done !
by Uwe on Saturday 14/Oct/2006, @20:54

I am proud of you and KDE, a successful non-anglo-american FOSS project.
Keep the good work up !

My wish for the next 10 years ?
Firstly, that I can make it my preferred desktop when KDE offers non-saturated colours and quality icons.
Secondly, that it offers non-cluttered menus (eventually levels of desire to tweak the system). I should use Gnome, then ? I could, but KDE is technically the better alternative.
Thirdly, drop Konqueror and integrate Firefox/IceWeasel into KDE.

Thanks again, and looking forward to the next 10 years,

why do people want KDE to drop the best free software rendering engine there is, and adopt a far slower, more bloated, harder to mantain and less complete rendering engine??? firefox and OO.o should be burned to the ground, and be forgotten as soon as possible. both share the same problems, created by their history. they where proprietary apps, developed by a few and just for a few people. not modular, clean, transparant and wel-documented like most (no, of course not all) free software. enormous amounts of money have already been spend on cleaning them up, and still they lag behind free-software-from-the-beginning like khtml and Koffice.

from every 10 bucks you spend on OO.o, 9 go into 'shit how and where does it do this' instead of usefull development.

in free software, darwinism plays a big role. and darwinism mosly favors the BEST. sorry OO.o, sorry firefox/gecko.

KDE is an international project, as is evidenced by the comments here. It's about bringing people together. I live in the US and my software is part of the KDE release packages. I would not want to think I wasn't part of KDE or that it wasn't successful here. There are key people in KDE living in North America and I'm proud that we are part of the unifying thinking of KDE of providing great software to all people. When we are celebrating KDE we should not be divisive. KDE is about bringing all people together for a common goal and not about excluding people for petty bias.
