I’m happy to announce, that I just got my commitment to write my thesis at IBM Germany.

Today the first Beta of KDE 4.0 has been released. This means, the basic libraries, frameworks, apis… are frozen from today.

Also, those libraries now can be ported to platforms like Mac OS X and Windows. So in the next few weeks/months, the first KDE applications will come to other platforms. Tomorrow I will introduce one or two applications to you… so stay tuned.
