Adriaan and me have visited the Holland Open
networking meeting tonight, which was quite a success. We’re trying to put a foot into the door
(does that parse?) in this young dutch organisation which tries to become a roof organisation for
Open Source and Open Standards in the Netherlands, representing business as well as Open Source
organisations. We talked to quite a lot of people, and introduced ourselves as possible
representatives of the “Linux Desktop”. Unfortunately, no Gnome people showed up, but it
might still be nice to show at least one of the possible choices for a desktop. I got the impression
that KDE is more than welcome to attend the next conference as a first-class citizen, and that we
could play an important role in pushing Open Source technology in the Netherlands.
We (KDE-NL) have been quite busy visiting events over the last weeks, and it begins to pay
off, we’re being recognized as KDE people.
