Sebastian Trüg, key KDE contributor, is joining Mandriva!

#includeResource("Skel.ArticleHeader") We're happy to announce that Sebastian Trüg, author of K3b and old-time contributor to the KDE project has joined Mandriva for working on the NEPOMUK project and for keeping strengthening the power of the K Desktop Environment within Mandriva Linux.

You can read a short interview of Sebastian on his involvement into KDE at following URL: http://people.kde.nl/trueg.html. Within NEPOMUK, Sebastian will focus on bridging NEPOMUK approach and KDE technological platform, aiming at realizing a "Semantic KDE". Mandriva/NEPOMUK crew will post more on this soon...

These kind of news are which give real value to my club suscription.

I really like to see that in some way our club susciptions make money goes to free software developers.

My guess is that Sebastien essentially will be funded by EU NEPOMUK project, which Mandriva currently leads. The side benefit is he will take on Mandriva dev/support roles also.

It took me more than a year to step up and buy a Club subscription so maybe Mandriva's business model for club will always lag.

Finally do you recall when Sebastien had to raise funds recently to drive the 1.0 release of K3B? Giving him a FOSS job is actually the best possible support he could have got. I think Mandriva does not get half or even one quater the amount of credit it deserves for supporting FOSS.

If Trueg likes bleeding edge software he will love Cooker/urpmi ! (hint, hint)

I always liked compiling everything myself and always hated rpm. This combined with my lust for bleeding-edge software (at least three "emerge sync" a week) leaves only Gentoo."

I find this really funny, I don't know why!!! :D

I find this funny, also. I guess the pay-cheque from Mandriva is enough for him to "like" RPM based distros. for the time being. ;)

All my best for him. I hope he does very well with Mandriva.

Bienvenido a Mandriva, Sebastian.

"which Mandriva currently leads" -> you're wrong. Mandriva is not officialy participant, it's EDGE-IT a subsidiary company. And the coordinating organization is DFKI GmbH (a german research center). See the Nepomuk project page ;)

Good to see mandriva paying attention to KDE. Their vanilla KDE was getting boring. I would like to see more integration of KDE with the system.

Also, improve the KDE menus.

Sebastian, thanks. Hope you have a fruitful association with Mandriva.
