The KDE-Forum.org team has interviewed KDE developer Christian Nitschkowski (original PDF). In the past he has written a lot of software for KDE but now his focus is on something which should be very interesting for every KDE user... a feedback wizard, soon to be integrated with Kexi.
Last month's release of KDE 3.4 was the first to feature Zeroconf's service discovery. Relevant applications can advertise their services, such as shared folders or networked games, which can then be browsed with the zeroconf:/ ioslave. KDE Dot News spoke to the man behind KDE's Zeroconf support Jakub Stachowski to find out more on this exciting technology. Read on for the interview and if you have more ideas for KDE technology interviews please add them to this wiki page.

Matthias Ettrich has been interviewed ahead of his talk at FOSDEM. The KDE founder talks about the relationship between the KDE and GNOME communities, the future of LyX and of course Qt 4 & KDE 4.
Recently, our very own Fabrice Mous asked if I might write an article about usability and KDE development. At first I was hesitant, and not just because I have a lot more hacking to get done before KDE 3.4 is released (which is soon). I often get asked about usability and the Open Source process, and even I sometimes get tired of having the same old conversations over and over.
As promised KDE Dot News brings you the second part of the two-part interview about Kontact and Kolab. This part focuses on Kontact, the Personal Information Management suite for KDE made with the combination of KMail, KOrganizer, KAddressbook and other programmes.
NewsForge has published an interview I conducted with Andreas Brand, a sociologist who is studying the free software world. I met him at aKademy last year, where he was in the middle of research on KDE as an example of an open source project based upon collaboration without hierarchies.
