“What is your role within KDE?”
“Currently I am somewhat retired as I have much work with
building my house. Before I was mainly working on the mail client
and threw in some ideas for various concepts.”
“How and when did you get involved in KDE?”
“It all started three years ago when I wanted to write yet
another file manager and found out that there is already such a
project going on (Kde). However, the team for the file manager was
already manned, but help with the mail client was needed. So I
joined them and contributed a nice listbox with columns
(KTabListBox), which got adopted for Kde wide use later.”
“Doing my civil services at that time I had much longing for
doing “real” work, so I did much programming in the noon after
work. Well, and as things went on I got more and more involved into
Kde, also in the process of planning and making decisions (e.g. the
first key bindings standard).”
“1 1/2 years ago we bought a house which needed major
rebuilding. Well, and that’s what I am still working on, and
unfortunately my time for Kde got less and less, as the building
sucks up much time. Hopefully this changes eventually :-)”
