KDevelop

This morning was very energetic. I woke up and hurried with my morning siesta, so I can get to the venue in time for the KDevelop BoF. Little did I know that Valorie woke up looong before me, and already even had breakfast. Yeah… We eventually got at the venue and we each went to our BoFs.

At the KDevelop BoF we discussed about the future release 5.0.1 and what should go in it, and we also discussed about some bugs and how we should use library models to ease the parsing of STL, Boost and Qt. We also got updated by Kevin about the state of KDevelop on Windows. It seems it’s ready to go, except for a couple of D-bus bugs.

Day 4 started with a getting to know each other session with my new room mates. They seemed like nice guys. They are travelers, going around the world, making a living with their art (music and graphics). We exchanged experiences, and gave each other advice on many life related aspects.

Since this was our (me and Phillip) only night in a dorm room, we started packing as soon as we woke up, and went to the reception to switch rooms. After that it was off to the venue with us.

On the second day, I’ve decided to become a volunteer. I thought I know these kind of events, why not give a hand. So I went and registered, got my volunteer T-shirt, and I’ve been assigned a task. My first task was to be video operator in a room. That implies that I have to start/stop the streaming of the talk, make sure the streaming works, move the camera to capture the speaker and/or the slides.

At the beginning of this month, KDE held a sprint for KDevelop and Kate, where a bunch of us met and coded like crazy.

I was the first to arrive, in the morning of the 7th of October and around 10, and since I couldn’t get in the apartment till 14 I had some time to kill. So I decided to go for a little sight seeing in the nearby park.

In the evening people started to arrive, and started coding before unpacking. My first impression of them was: „These people really love to code”.
