KDE Project History: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 13:50, 7 February 2010

The KDE project started on October 14th 1996 (and the project has thus celebrated its tenth birthday already) with a call for programmers in comp.os.linux.misc: the original announcement of the KDE Project in 1996 (use Google™ Groups to find the original posting).

At the 2003 Kastle conference Matthias Kalle Dalheimer gave a presentation about the history of the KDE project.

Developer Meetings

There have been roughly yearly large-scale developer meetings for the KDE community since very early in the project. Since the KDE e.V. was created the yearly meeting is a requirement of its bylaws, so we can count on it now.

Developer Awards

KDE Developers have been awarding the so called 'aKademy awards' to fellow KDE Developers since aKademy 2005.
