KDE Libs Hackers to Meet for KDE Four Core
==========================================

   In another event in the series of meetings leading to the KDE 4.0
release, the developers of the core libraries will meet in the Norwegian
woods (this bird has flown) from July 1st to July 7th. This meeting,
co-sponsored by Trolltech [http://www.trolltech.com] and SUSE
[http://www.suse.com], is labelled KDE Four Core, as it is intended to
be the direct successor of the KDE Three Beta
[http://www.kde.org/history/kde-threeb1.php] and KDE Three
[http://www.kde.org/history/kde-three.php] meetings, that led to the
refining of KDE releases 2.0 and 3.0 respectively. But, unlike those,
this meeting is only one in a series of "KDE Four" meetings, that
started with KDE Four Multimedia [http://dot.kde.org/1148680949/].

     KDE Four Core has been organised by the Technical Working Group
[http://dot.kde.org/1139614608/] and aims at stabilising kdelibs,
kdebase and the new module kdepimlibs and to lay foundation to the
porting and development of the KDE 4.0 applications. For this reason and
to create a group with coherent focus, the number of developers invited
was limited to 24, selected among those who are most active in the
porting efforts of the target modules. The meeting has been timed so
that most of the new technologies are in the Subversion repository
already, but sufficient time is left for other meetings before the final
"sprint", which is expected to happen during the aKademy 2006
[http://conference2006.kde.org] hacking sessions.
