FreeSoftware to the fullest!

Month: April 2008

Guademy and GSoC

28 April 2008 /

Yes, this year you will have to put up with me with another Google Summer of Code project (well, mainly Matt Rogers, who is mentoring me again 😉 ). This year I’ll try to get KDevelop (KDevPlatform) to be able to use plugins written on different languages through Kross. Great! 🙂

On the other side, this weekend I’ve been at València, attending to the Guademy conferences, where we have been discussing about interoperability between free software environments (or should I say KDE and Gnome?) among other things related to free (libre) software. It was quite interesting so far, despite I had to a bit earlier due to some personal issues it’s been great to be there. 🙂

Back to reality, now I’ll have to concentrate a bit more on the university before starting the summer of code hard work… But still I want to put some code that I have been baking lately related to KDevelop’s cmake support… 🙂

C’ ya!

KDevelop hackaton

21 April 2008 /

I am back from Munich, I am at the university now actually :(.

It was a great week though, lots of hacking, knowing people and community building. It is always nice to know the people which have been sharing with you bugs and features :). It was kind of sad leaving the place but well, we had to come back to reality.

In the hacking side, I have been working on the cmake support as a language which is quite ready (we still lack of cache support but i’m planning to add it soon anyway 🙂 ). The rest of KDevelop is taking shape really nicely, it still has some crashes and is having some speed issues that I hope that will be addressed during the following months.

I’ll put some feature review when everything is settled down, but I’m very excited about this new IDE that we will enjoy in some months!

Take care!

KDevelop Developer Meeting – Day[0]

12 April 2008 /

So today the KDevelop hackaton started. Yesterday I spent all the day just to go to Munich, where the hackaton is happening.

It was an usual trip: Police trying to get you naked when checking if you have no weapons, train delays (yeah in Germany, I thought that this didn’t happen here 🙂 and some misunderstandings with the hostel receptionist.

When I got my room (finally), then I managed to get some food from an anonymous international frachise and had a walk in the area near the hostel. Germany is quite scary when it is dark :s…

Today we went at Trolltech offices, where Harald spoke about Qt (history, news and features) and I spoke for a while about KDE4. Then we had lunch break and Alexander exposed his ideas about what he wanted KDevelop 4 to be and we started to discuss about how should it be and how are we goint to make it rock. 🙂

Now, after some rest, it seems we will have some cultural interaction (which seems to involve beer :P)…

Aditel IParty X

2 April 2008 /

I spent the last along with tsdgeos, ana`, ereslibre, pgquiles and nefertum to the Aditel IParty X that happened in Castelló de la Plana, where we were invited to give some talks about KDE.

I have to say it was a great LAN Party, one of the best I’ve ever gone, sure (and that’s not because I won a Wii 🙂 ). The people, the place, the organization. 🙂 The only problem was the beamer that didn’t want to work (sometimes) with my laptop, but we could workaround that easily (thanks to Emilio :P).

I think the talks will be soon available, in case someone is actually interested (they are in spanish btw)…

PS: If someone sees a video involving IParty X and Qt4 dance, don’t look at it, it is a fake… 😎 yeah really… 😛
