| Presentation: KDE 3.2, A User's Perspective |
Apr. 08, 2004
This week at the Linux Users' Group of Davis meeting in California, Bill Kendrick presented the KDE environment, and dozens of applications, in a talk entitled KDE 3.2: A User's Perspective.
The presentation was geared towards both Linux users who haven't looked at KDE in a while, as well as non-Linux users who are interested in what kind of environment Open Source software can provide for them, says Kendrick.
The talk, consisting entirely of screenshots showing off the powerful, integrated and easy-to-use features in KDE, is now available for viewing on-line here.
Presentation author Bill Kendrick is a long-time open source developer and chairs LUGOD, an outreach program of the Davis, California LUG. The group, which meets twice a month to discuss and demonstrate the GNU/Linux operating system locally, evangelizes the use of desktop Linux.
Kendrick is known in the Linux community under his pseudonym New Breed Software, through which he has launched many popular open software projects including the award-winning WebFX tool which allows people to manipulate graphics over the web using just a web browser, a popular CGI-based chat client and web development libraries, as well as a collection of more than a dozen web-based games -- Bill's Games.
Bill is the lead developer for Tux Paint, a free drawing program designed for young children aged 3 and up with a simple, easy-to-use interface, fun sound effects, and an encouraging cartoon mascot who helps guide children as they use the program.
