The Free Desktop Turns 10

The free desktop is 10 years old this week as KDE celebrated its 10th birthday on Saturday 14th. In honour of the momentous anniversary your intrepid Kubuntu developers all stayed at home to fix bugs in time for the Edgy release candidate. But in a warehouse somewhere in outer Bavaria the finest free software developers got together to party at the 10 years of Linux Desktop rave.

One of the keynote speakers was the Ubuntu Community Manager Jono Bacon who announced that Mark Shuttleworth was now the first Patron of KDE. This prestigious title shows an ongoing finantial and technical commitment to KDE. Thanks to Mark for signing up to this new scheme.

At the party Jono won a German book on Qt 4. Not speaking German he's giving it away to the person who will write the best Qt 4 application.
