KDE at LinuxTag 2005 - First day impressions
============================================

   The annual KDE show at LinuxTag [http://www.linuxtag.de] has begun
already. With talks about KCall and KDE: 3, 2, 1!, users had a great
chance to learn about existing and new features of KDE. The booth was
crowded as always. We were visited by politicians, entrepreneurs
interested in deploying the Kiosk framework on internet terminals, and
for tomorrow a guided tour for pupils is planned so they can learn about
how to effectively use their new desktop in school - which is KDE.

     Kurt Pfeifle did a great job at setting up a central infrastructure
which includes print and NX servers which makes it easy to display KDE
3.4 and features of the upcoming 3.5 version in parallel. Questions
about Qt4, icon themes, and the cute big stuffed Konqi were answered by
the booth helpers. As a special feature, a "live bug reporting"
initiative has been announced, so people can report bugs live at the
booth and by chance it will be fixed directly, if not they might be
contacted by the developers who will show up later that week. Someone
offered to print flyers for the project - anyone wants to create some
flyers for KDE which include the latest and greatest features?

     More exciting information will be posted here shortly. Stay tuned
and  enjoy selected booth fotos [http://www.kstuff.org/lt2k5/day1/] in
the meanwhile. Or even better: pay the KDE team on LinuxTag a visit and
get in touch with the creators of your favourite desktop environment!
