People Behind KDE: Inge Wallin

Thursday, 15 February 2007  |  Dallen

For the next interview in the fortnightly People Behind KDE series we travel north to Sweden to meet a developer and promotion guru who is charting a course toward success, someone who should not be crossed in a dojo - tonight's star of People Behind KDE is Inge Wallin.

Talking to oneself isn't generally considered a sane behaviour :-)

Means you get the black belt: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shodan Pretty cool to hear, since it's a big step. :) Shodan literally means "first degree", because by then you should have the "complete base". At that moment you've practiced for a minimum of for 6 years, likely longer. After that your Aikido keep evolving. You'll learn to implement the techniques in different forms (i.e. using lot's of space and avoid all friction, or applying pressure to a partner, etc..)

And of course you forgot to mention that Shodan used to be a character in a DOS computer game called SystemShock. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHODAN Perhaps you noticed the domainname in my e-mail. Shodan is also a free Dutch hosting service but is going to be shut down anywhere soon when people don't request anymore accounts soon. Oh, and I did not name it Shodan myself, some student did :-)

I think you should look a bit closer at this picture of Inge: > http://behindkde.org/people/ingwa/images/playing.jpg :-p Or off couse, we could request signatures for free ads :) -- Diederik van der Boor Software developer and Open Source contributor Working on KMess, a MSN Messenger client for KDE

Good job Inge! - Wade Olson - 2007-02-15

I haven't been able to log into IRC for some time now, and one of the biggest bummers as a result is not being able to chat with Inge. I got spoiled during the KOffice 1.5 and 1.6 release times. And now I need my Inge fix. Is this healthy? At least more than interviewing yourself I suppose.

Here you go. I'm not sure we should use the dot comments as our chat board, though.
