\nissues such as what needs to be done for aKademy2006 and reports of the different Working Groups of
\nKDE. Mostly boring stuff though. The meeting went really well, and we managed to go through a pile
\nof topics within our planned schedule.\n\t<\/p>\n
\na very nice techno party where the ‘not-so-shallow’ part<\/a> of
\nBerlin’s nightlife took place. Good to see that Berlin hasn’t changed too much recently.\n\t<\/p>\n
\nnotebook is pretty worn out, so I decided to replace that thing (the whole notebook though). My
\nrequirements were 14″ in 4:3, long battery life, a good keyboard and a high-res display. The 14″ and
\n4:3 cuts down the number of possibilities to about two models. Dell sells crappy keyboards, so the
\nmodel I’ve ordered is a Thinkpad
\nT60<\/a>. Unfortunately there’s one minor<\/em> problem with it – no video driver for Linux. ATi
\nhas not yet released a linux driver for the radeon 500 (r500) chip that’s needed for the integrated
\nX1300 video adapter. So I’ll be bound to use the VESA driver in the meantime. I hope that vesa-tng
\nworks though, because it’s much faster than ‘standard’ vesa, and the standard driver also doesn’t
\nsupport a resolution of 1400×1050 pixels. Not the optimal solution though, but still a very nice
\nnotebook. If someone from ATi reads this, PLEASE IMPROVE YOUR LINUX SUPPORT!\n\t<\/p>\n
\nJasper, one of my officemates, he’ll tackle the taskmanagement system for
\nJoerg, who’s collecting things to do to have a boothbox (a box with all kinds of stuff you need at
\nevents, that can be shipped through Europe to have available at events), Danil, who’s taking care of
\nscreenshots for the 3.5 branch, Friedrich, who’ll be consolidating the events webpages … Hack,
\nlisting up the things that are currently happening gets me a smile on the face. (And that’s
\nsomething I really needed lately, since a hellofalottawork has been cutting down my spare time
\nduring the last weeks to zero). So thanks everyone stepping up. (And if you want to get involved
\nwith all those cool people from the promo team, we’re
\n“hiring”<\/a>).\n\t<\/p>\n
