\n\t\tOn monday, I went to Muenchen for the E*OS3<\/super><\/a> project, I’m working for<\/a>. We paid a visit to the LiMux<\/a> project team which is migrating 80% of the 14.000
\nmunicipal desktop to a KDE-based Linux solution. Way to go, Munich. The discussion was quite
\ninteresting, and the people told us that the project was mostly fun. By 2008 they should be done,
\nand be able to take over the support slowly themselves (they clearly didn’t want to outsource). When
\nI handed over the KDE card, they smiled and immediately recognized it interestedly. We obviously
\nhave friends there :-)\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\t\tAfter the visit to LiMux, we were kindly invited by Till Jaeger, the lawyer of Harald Welte
\nof gpl-violations.org fame<\/a>. Speaking with him was quite
\ninteresting, he could bring a couple of new angles into our research for a quality standard for Open
\nSource services. He also was a nice guy and offered us very good cookies. Who said that lawyers
\nsuck?\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\t\tThe next day, we went to the university to visit the department of business informatics and
\ntalked about modularity of IT services. Interestingly, we came to the conclusion that market share
\nis one means to measure quality, that immediately brought up my question about how you could measure
\nit, because that’s where we’re stuck within the freedesktop.org forum at the moment. Not really new
\ninsight, but still, a new wire in my personal agenda… :>\n\t<\/p>\n

Insane trip though, travelling 1500km by car in two days. :\/<\/p>\n

\n\t\tToday, it was CodeYard<\/a> time again. The students of Koning Willem II College<\/a> in Tilburg (NL) presented their final
\nprojects. They automated different kinds of shops, one of the teams even built a robot which could
\nbe used to compile orders from the magazine, well proof-of-concept, but very nice to see actually.\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\t\tIn other news, we were able to collect sponsors to finally be able to give green light for
\nthe multimedia developers meeting in the Netherlands, second half of may, and I’m proposing a paper
\nto the DesktopCon<\/a> committee. Hope I’ll be able to make
\nit to Canada in July, but that’s still quite far away. It would be a good opportunity to strengthen
\nour collaboration with other desktop-related projects, though.\n\t<\/p>\n

\n\t\tNext week, I’ll go to Wiesbaden to visit Linuxtag<\/a>,
\nwe’re putting together the first version of the KBoothbox there, and it’s a great opportunity to
\ntalk to a couple of people in person, after all, e-mail often just doesn’t cut it. A friend was kind
\nenough to invite me to his place where I can spend the nights, hopefully getting a little sleep. See
\nyou in Wiesbaden!\n\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
