The Faces of KDE takes a look at some of the developers working on KDE 4. "In this stage of development it’s a lot of pain for very little glory, re-designing the next generation KDE from the ground up. It’s a task that separates the core developers from the hangers on, and the architects of the new desktop are a pretty dedicated group. There are far too many developers currently active in KDE for me to introduce them all, but here’s a quick glance at what a small handful of them are working on for the next major version of KDE."

I use KDE everyday and make everyone I can also use it (hey no complaints yet!). I want to say I am TRULY GRATEFUL to all the developers who have worked on KDE and are working on KDE 4. I can't wait. I know I will be more productive as a result! I appreciate it!
Hm, what a nice article. These people are doing great work and they deserve to be famous ^_^ I think there should be a page on the KDE site for this. It's a nice personal touch. Kudos to all of them!
I like the Idea of presenting the guys who work so hard to make something special for all of us.
I'm Missing some peoples
Matthias Ettrich, Daniel Molkentin, the Guys from KDE Pim...
But Ok, there are just too many people to thank too.
I like the Idea of a KDE Supage like a Hall of Fame =)
Thanks to those faces - of course. I think it is important to give a big thanks the other 2374628734 KDE contributors as well :)
Kevin is cute. What's his phone number?
Hey sweetie!
Note that apparently I'm less cute with the beard. ;-)
Sorry, Sebas. His girlfriend won't be pleased if you start calling him in the middle of the night.
It's Free Software, Sebas is allowed to fork him if he wants.
How dare you mention a contributor's appearance instead of their contributions!
Sorry to be picky but there's a typo in the article:
guidelines with fellow usability and design export Ellen
should be:
guidelines with fellow usability and design expert Ellen
Thanks Carl, fixed now :)
The KDE4 Commit Champion is missing ...
Laurent Montel is working for Mandriva on KDE4 ( porting ) and Nepomuk project with Stéphane Laurière and Sebastian Trueg.

Hey, I didn't see Jes' name anywhere. At least, let us acknowledge a writer who have written so much good stuff about KDE, and let her show her name on her own article.
Inge, you flatter me. You have persuaded me to make a series out of this, so perhaps the last one I will put myself into? :) You can write my section for me ;)
I will! And now you have to be good to me to get a good writeup!
Mwahahaha!
I have been a dedicated KDE user for a very long time. Thank you to all the developers for their hard work.
KDE is stunning! Very robust and clean. Please keep up the great work. You all have worked so hard to get where it is at. I am a newbie and very impressed with the results. Thank You All!
Hey, this was about the KDE developers, and more importantly, their cute pictures of course ;-)
Don't you have something to say about them?!?
:D
I started using KDE on Mandrake 5.2(?). We had to compile all of it, and at times things were broken, but its ease of use attracted me.
Today, I am using openSuSE 10.2 and keep it up to date using smart repositories, and the jumps and hurdles that KDE has made, tells me I was on the right track when I chose it as my preferred WM.
Great work, by people I will probably never meet or talk to, all done to help us use our preferred OS'es in a more joyful and productive manner.
Kudos guys. Keep it up.
Friends,
Great news...., I am using fedora core 6, found it really amazing, really great jobs you guys doing out there. My profound thanks and appreciation to all of you for this..
I am learning a little bit of here and there and will contribute something in the near future. All the best to all of you.
Waiting for KDE 4............Kudos pals.. keep it up.
