\"Conference<\/a>
\n \tAfter having had a lazy week in Javea, in the east of Spain, where Nel, Christine’s mother has
\nbeen a great host, I arrived in Malaga with a slight delay (thanks, Iberia).<\/p>\n

\tHaving gone to bed quite early, I was quite fit to begin the first day [schedule<\/a>]. We were welcomed by people of
\nthe Andalusian government, the university of Malaga and the people of the Malaga Linux group.<\/p>\n

\tThe technical part started with a presentation by Pete Goodall<\/a>
\nwho would give an overview over the Novell Linux Desktop<\/strong>. Quite obviously, not
\neveryone was impressed. The software used on the desktop is quite old (running KDE 3.2). Also, Pete
\nshowed a KDE desktop and didn’t make to clear that the standard Novell Desktop is gnome-based. The
\nrest of the talk wasn’t also to developer-directed, ow well …<\/p>\n

\tFar more interesting was Till Adam’s<\/a>
\ntalk, who showed off kolab and kontact<\/strong>, the KDE approach to groupware. Pretty fun,
\nlots of cool features coming up, such as a webclient (which needs more developers, PHP horde people
\nmight be welcome there!). Kolab stores all kind of information in IMAP accounts, which makes it
\npossible to use a couple of groupware stuff (shared calendars anyone?) with any simple IMAP server.
\nKolab however adds management interfaces, user management via LDAP and loads of other stuff.
\nImpressing.<\/p>\n

\tMark
\nShuttleworth<\/a> from Canonical, the Ubuntu sponsors also did a very nice talk about
\ncollaboration in the Open Source<\/strong> world. He talked about collaborated distributed
\nworking, realtime collaborative editing (imagine working on the same document, at the same time,
\ndiscussing what you’re chaning …).<\/p>\n

\tAt the moment (uploading the blog might take some time, I forgot my wireless adapter at the
\nresidence), I’m listening to Kurt
\nPfeifle’s<\/a> mind blowing presentation, demoeing NX technology<\/strong>. It’s far more
\nefficient than standard X11, as he and Fabian just showed by running an xnest session and a freenx
\nsession in parallel and then increasing the lag on the localhost interface artificially. Nice.<\/p>\n

\t… Kurt’s talk is finished, I got hold of a UTP cable and a dhcp lease and am uploading a
\ncouple of photos now, enjoy<\/a>
\n\tAah … some sponsored social event for tonight has just been announced, is that the free
\nbeer <\/em>part? :-)<\/p>\n

update:<\/em> Yeah, free drinks.<\/p>\n

\tThe talks of Richard Moore<\/a>
\nabout Scripting with
\nKDE feel<\/a> was quite interesting, especially for the power user who wants to enhance his desktop
\nexperience. <\/p>\n

Also Will
\nStephenson<\/a> had some interesting news to tell, skype integration into kopete being one of them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
