“theKompany.com has beefed up its core
development team by adding two open source programmers from
existing development projects. theKompany.com is
pleased to welcome Phil Thompson, developer of
PyQt and PyKDE, a package for using the Python programming language
with Qt and KDE development; and Max Judin,
developer of KDE Studio, an IDE tool for developing KDE
applications for Linux. Both of these projects are now being hosted
by theKompany.com. This is in addition to their
recently announced 2 year financial support of the Kword project,
part of Koffice for KDE.”
“”As a further step towards theKompany.com’s
efforts to create and promote all-round quality products, Web and
graphic designer John Grantham has been engaged to
create theKompany.com’s corporate identity,
packaging and Web site. Grantham previously produced the corporate
identity and Web sites of Loki Entertainment Software, LinuxPPC,
Inc.; ON Channel, Inc.; and macnews.de.”
“We are all long-standing, active members of the open source
and Linux development community,” Gordon said. “We have taken
this opportunity to develop new software, and improve existing open
source software. In addition, we have fine tuned and streamlined
the distribution process in order to deliver it to the users and
developers of Linux quickly, and at a lower cost.”
