I have just finished uploading the Lenny backports for KDE 4.1.1 to http://kde4.debian.net/. I have improved slightly the website and added some information as well. If you followed the instructions in the website and you are already using the KDE 4.1.0 backports, you only have to update your system and you will get automagically the [...]
Now Lenny has been frozen for some time and the necessary packages have migrated to Lenny (that remember is still testing); I have finally made the backports of KDE 4.1.0.

In the beginning of this week, KDE 4.1 RC 1 was released and, of course, there are Debian packages since the release day.

You can read my email and the whole thread generated from here. I would love hearing opinions, specially from stable users about what [...]

I am having a hard couple of days trying to decide what to do with respect attending to DebConf in Argentina. Nothing new on planet, I know. I could buy my flights for about 1150 euros now. And that is only the flights, the travel expenses are more than that. The reasons that do not [...]
I just stated in a private mail exchange that gender barrier do not really exist in Debian anymore. That lead me to think I am too deep involved in the project to notice so. If you are girl and something makes you do not agree with this, please drop me a mail ( ana AT [...]
I just sent an email to debian-devel-spanish announcing this year’s edition of DudesConf, a.k.a. the fourth edition of the debconf-es.
