\n\t\tMore than 2 and a half years ago a historical meeting took place in Berlin –
\n\t\tAPPEAL. From the Dot story<\/a>:
\n\t\t “The scope was broad and incuded
\n\t\tartwork, human interface guidelines, Tenor (a contextual linkage engine),
\n\t\talterntives to traditional file managers and groupware applications.”<\/em>
\n\t\tReading back, there is a striking similarity with core concepts of KDE4. Most of
\n\t\tthose items are reality in KDE 4.0. Others are close to done and will surface
\n\t\twthin the next releases.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tIn Malaga<\/a> (my first aKademy, still
\n\t\tbeing a student), this atmosphere of doing something big became more evident.
\n\t\tThere, I worked with Jan and Ellen (Relevantive & OpenUsability) on a usability review of Guidance<\/a>. To me, this showed
\n\t\tthe great potential and how to merge the processes around software development
\n\t\tad usability engineering and get something really nice out of it.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tI also remember a presentation given by three artists, the Oxygen team. Ken, Nuno and David
\n\t\tpresented their first bits of work to the community. They discussed concepts
\n\t\tbehind the Oxygen icon set (it was still merely an icon set, back then) and even
\n\t\tshowed a first, very early pre-alpha version of some icons.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tAt the same aKademy, we started setting up the Marketing Working Group, with its
\n\t\tprimary mission coherent messaging around KDE, based on Guerilla Marketing and
\n\t\tscientific strategical analyses.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tFor me, this was the start of the KDE 4 vision. Tomorrow we will flip the switch to make
\n\t\tthis vision reality. And next week we’ll
\n\t\tpresent<\/a> it to the world.\n\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
