Hi, people. We did not have a meeting last month, for a change. And people seemed to miss it, gladly 🙂 So, if you are contributing to KDE Games, or willing to contribute, our monthly meeting is back! Please add to your bookmarks: http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Games/IRC_Meeting Information about time and location can be found in the URL […]

Hi. You might remember the Fluffy Bunny Plasma theme. Wouldn’t it be nice if some of our games could be configured to match it? I know my nieces would love it 🙂Wait… Eugene Trounev from the kdegames team comes to the rescue! And at the same time, we have a preview of KNewStuff2 support in […]

One of the highlights of fisl9.0 for me was getting to know better the work that is being done by Brazil’s Ministry of Education (MEC). They have just unveiled the numbers for the ongoing ProInfo project. What is interesting about this project is that it not only provides infrastructure (computers and net connectivity) but also […]

Back to the hotel after another full day at FISL. Well, and ending with (another) barbecue. Seems like some diet will be required in the next few days to recover from these days. I did my presentation about KDE-Edu: Creating knowledge, and it was generally well received.  Thanks to Helio for helping me. Lots of […]

First day at fisl9.0. We got lost in Porto Alegre, but Gustavo Boiko managed to conduct us to PUCRS safely at the end. We were prepared for the crowd (~7000 people registered), but the view of the registration lines was still amazing: Trolltech has a booth here, and here are some familiar faces: Hélio did […]

Helio, Thiago and myself are working with the FISL organizers in order to guarantee that KDE’s presence at the event will be noticed. As part of this effort we cooked up a press release, and a loose translation is presented below: KDE project lands in Porto Alegre for fisl9.0: First KDE Brazil Meeting 04/08/2008 – […]

Yesterday I finally managed to finish the features I have planned for KBlocks, and it is now living in kdereview. If everything goes as planned, it could be in kdegames for KDE 4.1.And I realized I have never blogged about KBlocks until today! KBlocks is a single player falling blocks puzzle game that I started […]

Yesterday I gave the “Creating games and educational applications with free software and KDE” talk at Campus Party Brasil. It was nice, a small bunch of people stopped by and I ended up adjusting the presentation to the audience, which was not all aware of what free software is. I spent some time talking about […]

Another month, another IRC meeting for the KDE Games project. The meeting agenda and logs are posted here. Things moved swiftly, and we are now at the feature planning stage for 4.1. Lots of entries are already in, have a quick look to see what is planned for 4.1 so far. We will have new […]

From February 11th to 17th São Paulo will host the first edition of the Campus Party event in Brazil. This is an event that congregates thousands of people, and exists since 1997 in Spain. Some of the tracks are astronomy, free software, games, robotics, art, music… basically an event that brings together communities that use […]
