In a warm Jamaica around thirty KDE developers have gathered for the first Camp KDE. The following article is an impression of the first days of this event, a short summary of what is going on here. Read on for the full report!
In a warm Jamaica some thirty KDE developers have gathered for the first Camp KDE. The healthy growth of the KDE community created the need for a combined North/South American meeting. The release event showed it is possible. It has been a year since the KDE 4.0 release event by San Fransisco, and we see many of the faces we saw back then at Google headquarters.
Last year has been an exciting journey for the KDE community. The 4.0 release was made to some joy and some criticism. But the release increased activity and resulted in a fast growing number of contributors and code commits. Thus the 4.1 released around Akademy brought many improvements. Now it is the upcoming release which aims for the general public. And again the American community event is in the sweet spot, we will be releasing the KDE 4.2 software suite a couple of days after we leave the golden island of Jamaica. Of course this meeting is not only about the 4.2 release, far from it. It is about continuing what we started last year. We will continue to grow and create great software. And have fun while doing it.
