Today was a very exciting day. With a sad result for me but sure some good results for KDE.

My proposal got rejected for the summer of code. So, the sad things are out.

The KDE project though, gets $120000 of funding for 24 proposals. Sure a nice sign of the quality of the proposals and of KDE itself. What I have seen so far, are very interesting projects coming and I hope people are able to make them fly. I want to help with one project as a tester since it works right with my interests ATM.

Everybody give Chris DiBona and Greg Stein from Google a cookie/beer/free meal/hug when you meet them. I was amazed at what speed those two answered even the most absurd threads on the summer-discuss group while coordinating thousands of participants. Thanks for making all this happen.

The LinuxTag 2005 in Karlsruhe saw the announcement of a KDE/Wikimedia cooperation which made me feel tingly with excitement all day. Also KCall was announced, another very interesting development in a hot market.

The KParts plugin for Firefox made some people write mails to me who use Firefox and love KPDF and wanted more informations. More exposure to KDE technology is good

Jess incredibly good idea (or the fact she is the first actually executing it) is almost no news anymore. I plan to help with that one a lot.

Kolab2 is definitly out for too long to make it news, but it is news for my blog and it is a milestone. The second release one of the first complete OpenSource Groupware server (whatever others claim I tried one of the betas and I am using Kolab2 with the Documentation Team. Impressive piece of work.

For all the people making KDE so good and better every day.

Thank You. You Rock!
