 On Monday (TOMORROW), May 24th at 18:30, Haifux will gather to hear Dotan
 Cohen discuss:
    KDE 4 - the good, the bad, and the broken
 Abstract
 KDE was developed to give Unix applications a common look and feel. From
 1996 to 2007 the desktop environment saw many improvements and changes. In
 January 2008 a rewrite of the entire desktop environment and many of it's
 core applications was performed. The rewrite, called KDE 4, led to a
 dramatic change in KDE's stance. Once noted for its configurablity, KDE 4
 had significantly fewer options than previous KDE versions. Core
 applications and the desktop environment itself were missing critical
 features. Crashes were common. One year later KDE 4.2 was introduced,
 promising to address all these issues. Additionally, several innovative
 technologies were introduced then. In this talk we will examine KDE 4.4 and
 concentrate on one innovative feature (the Good), one questionable design
 decision (the Bad), and one critical bug (the Broken).

 Future talks include:
 07/06/10 The Ben Yehuda Project Software - Asaf Bartov
 21/06/10 A GAP TO BE FILLED!
 05/07/10 GarlicSim: An experimental tool for computer simulations - Ram
 Rachum
 13/09/10 Secure File Systems: Orr Dunkelman
 (The gap between the lectures is intended for YOU to lecture about something
 interesting!)

 We meet in Taub building, room 6. For instructions see:

Hi Raz

It is the other way round - it is the Ben-Yehuda Project's software.
The Project's home page: http://benyehuda.org/
The talk will deal with software written especially for the needs of this
project, for which no available software existed (not even closed source).
All this software is free or will be released soon.

Orna
