  • My first week with KDE4

    Being a Gnome user in my department made me a kind of outsider. Nearly all my colleagues use or even develop KDE. After half a year harassment, I finally decided to switch to KDE4 with my update to openSUSE 11.1 Beta 4.

  • Planet LinuxTag

    Probably the first visible result of the LinuxTag 2009 bootstrap camp is the release of planet.linuxtag.org.
    There we aggregate blogs of the makers of Europe’s leading exhibition and conference on Open Source and Free Software. With our planet we want to introduce you the persons behind LinuxTag and give you some insights in the organization.

  • I follow the frog!

    This weekend will be the third edition of one of my favourite conferences in Germany: FrOSCon.
    FrOSCon is a two day conference on Free Software and Open Source, taking place for the third time on August, 23rd/24th 2008 at the Fachhochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg in Sankt Augustin near the cities of Bonn and Cologne.

  • openSUSE @ FrOSCon - call for volunteers

    In about four weeks a quite nice free and open source conference (FrOSCon) will open it’s doors for the third time and in my opinion openSUSE should not be missed there.
    Hence I asked the organizers if they can provide the openSUSE project some space for an openSUSE booth and generously they agreed to this. Now I am looking for volunteers from the openSUSE community to support me driving the booth. You should have solid knowledge on openSUSE, be an outgoing personality and enjoy to share your know how with visitors.

  • Firefox’s homage to Battlestar

    I really like Easter eggs, cheat codes, intros and all to other fun stuff coders and hackers add to their work.

  • Dozens of interviews from LinuxTag

    Normally I do not listen to radio but more or less regular I tune in to RadioTux, a German internet radio with a strong focus on Free Software and Linux.

  • openSUSE installation

    I must admit, the installation of openSUSE 11 (RC1) is astonishing. I used a mini-ISO containing just the installer with its basic components and downloaded everything else from the (internal) installation repository. The whole process faciliates a graphical interface but you can fall back to a text based one, if you have an unsupported video adapter or neccessary.
