    Anticipating KDE's 20th anniversary
    The announcement
    of a project to develop the "Kool Desktop Environment" went out on
    October 14, 1996. As the 20th anniversary of that announcement
    approaches, the KDE project is celebrating with a project timeline and a 20 Years of KDE book. "This
    book presents 37 stories about the technical, social and cultural aspects
    that shaped the way the KDE community operates today. It has been written
    as part of the 20th anniversary of KDE. From community founders and
    veterans to newcomers, with insights from different perspectives and points
    of view, the book provides you with a thrilling trip through the history of
    such an amazing geek family.    "

    Danko: Next steps for Gmane
    LWN previously reported that Gmane creator
    and maintainer Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen shut down the website and was
    contemplating shutting down the service entirely. Martin Danko
    now
    reports     that Gmane has a new maintainer. "I petitioned some of our directors to allow us to offer to take it over and in the end we entered into agreement with Lars to take over Gmane. The assets of Gmane have been placed into a UK company Gmane Ltd.

    As part of the agreement, we have received the INN spool with all the articles but none of the code that drives the site. We’ve started rebuilding parts of the site just to get it back online, its not perfect and there are pieces missing but we’re working on building all the functionality back into the site.    "
