\n\t\tThe multimedia meeting is now in full swing, twenty people have gathered in the south of the
\nrainy Netherlands to discuss, design, meet, program and have fun. After a keynote and a short
\nintroduction round, Matthias has given a detailed overview over Phonon, discussing the design,
\nexplaining how to write frontends, what to consider when building a backend, how effect work and
\nmuch more. Matthias will upload his slides later tonight so everyone can have a look at the great
\nstuff to come.
\n\t\tAfter Matthias outlined the future of KDE multimedia called Phonon, Max Howell gave us
\ninformation about what the amarok guys have discussed yesterday while going out in Amsterdam,
\nExciting stuff to come! There probably won’t be an amarok 1.5. The developers plan to do a major
\nredesign of the code for amarok 2.0 which will be Qt4 \/ KDE 4 based. More interesting to the user
\nmight be the planned improvement of last.fm<\/a> support. Why would you
\nwant to tag everything yourself when fellow music lovers already did all the work. Max also
\nannounced “We do want to make a Windows version.”.<\/p>\n

\t\tMaarten en Jurieen of Source21<\/a> fame visited us to
\nrecord a couple of interviews with, they’ll be downloadable from their website soon – we’ll announce
\nthat separately.<\/p>\n

\t\tAnd I also took photos<\/a>.<\/p>\n
