The How Software is Built blog secured an interview with Helio Chissini de Castro, one of the KDE developers employed by Linux distributor Mandriva. Helio talks about Mandriva, about KDE 4, and about the state of open source software in Brazil, where he is based.
“Helio talks about … KDE 4”
I read that, so I clicked as I was interested to see what someone at a distro thought of how KDE4 is doing. So, it turns out the antepenultimate line of the interview is “I also think KDE 4 will be the next step for the big desktop, but I’m a little biased. [Laughs“. As far as I can see, that’s the sum total of KDE4 discussion in the article. The quoted portion of the summary wasn’t incorrect, but I expected just a little more than that haha
You know what, you’re right. Somehow when I wrote that summary (it’s mine, so the blame falls on me :>) I had the idea in my head that the article contained more discussion of KDE 4, but it doesn’t. I guess I must have got confused as I was chatting with Helio on IRC as I wrote the submission! Sorry
No problem, as we could see in the article, nobody cares about Brazil, not even the government! 🙂
I enjoyed reading this article. It was different than many other interviews.
