KDE Project Ships Second Beta of Next Major Release

July 22, 2004 (The Internet) - The KDE Project is pleased to announce the 
immediate availability of KDE 3.3 Beta 2. The focus of this release, 
code-named Kollege, is to fix bugs in the run-up to aKademy in late August. 


Getting Kollege

 KDE 3.3 Beta 2 can be downloaded over the Internet by visiting 
download.kde.org. Source code and vendor supplied binary packages are 
available. For additional information on package availability and to read 
further release notes, please visit the KDE 3.3 Beta 2 information page.

 
Help the KDE team squash bugs

Kollege is very stable, and you can enjoy lots of new features and 
applications if you're still using KDE 3.2 or older. But many bugs remain, 
and though hundreds are being fixed each week, hundreds more are found. The 
KDE team asks you to try out this release, and to then help them by finding 
bugs, reporting them on the the bug tracking system, and helping developers 
fix them. If you reported bugs which are still open for past KDE versions, 
please report if they still can be reproduced with this version.

If you've not done this before, or you'd like to do more than enter the 
occasional wish or crash report, you might want to read the Quality Team Bug 
Report and Management HOWTO. It shows you how to use Bugzilla, including 
explanations of all the terminology, and it offers help on managing your 
reports while the developers try and fix them. To be really helpful, you can 
manage other people's reports as well, so that coders can focus on their 
work.

You can also help out the KDE Project in lots of other ways. For a good 
gateway into helping the project, whether you can write code, documentation, 
report and manage bugs, do media work or just help developers communicate 
with users, visit the Quality Team web site for ideas. Or, if you're pressed 
for time, consider donating to the KDE Project. 


KDE Sponsorship 

Besides the superb and invaluable efforts by the KDE developers themselves, 
significant support for KDE development has been provided by MandrakeSoft, 
TrollTech and SuSE. IBM has donated significant hardware to the KDE Project, 
and the University of Tübingen and the University of Kaiserslautern provide 
most of the Internet bandwidth for the KDE project. Thanks! 


About KDE 

KDE is an independent project of hundreds of developers, translators, artists 
and other professionals worldwide collaborating over the Internet to create 
and freely distribute a sophisticated, customizable and stable desktop and 
office environment employing a flexible, component-based, network-transparent 
architecture and offering an outstanding development platform. KDE provides a 
stable, mature desktop, a full, component-based office suite (KOffice), a 
large set of networking and administration tools and utilities, and an 
efficient, intuitive development environment featuring the excellent IDE 
KDevelop. KDE is working proof that the Open Source "Bazaar-style" software 
development model can yield first-rate technologies on par with and superior 
to even the most complex commercial software.
