KDE 30 let

KDE letos praznuje 30. obletnico!

Three decades of passionate community effort against all odds; delivering control, privacy, and freedom to our users; and tons and tons of software.

CHECK BACK OFTEN!

We will be updating this page frequently with new content, exciting 30th Anniversary news, things you can participate in, updated merch you can get, and much more!

Berite naprej in odkrijte zanimiva dejstva, ki jih niste poznali, nove izdelke, za katere niste vedeli, da jih potrebujete (a jih zdaj potrebujete!), kako lahko tudi vi pomagate zagotoviti naš uspeh v naslednjih 30 letih ter kje in kako lahko praznujete rojstni dan KDE.

Začnimo s tem...

Plan your party🎉

Pridružite se dogodku v vaši bližini. Če jih ni, organizirajte svojega!

Whether it is a meetup over drinks, a nice meal with friends, an installfest, or a full conference, let us know what, where, and when you are celebrating KDE's birthday.

Vaš dogodek bomo vključili na naš seznam in prikazal se bo na spodnjem zemljevidu.


KAKO DODATI DOGODEK: Obiščite našo wiki stran in dodajte dogodek s pomočjo predloge.

Pomagajte KDE...

Most of our funds (70%!) come from private end users just like you. Become a Supporting Member and help ensure we receive a regular amount of money we can count on. This helps us plan and know what to expect for the next month, quarter, or year.

Uporabite polje na vrhu te strani in izberite Postani član, da postanete podporni član.

Or make a one-time donation and provide us with emergency funds to get us through the following year.

Uporabite polje na vrhu te strani in izberite Enkratna donacija, da opravite svojo donacijo.

Zakaj donirati

  • Izdelujemo prvovrstno programsko opremo in vaša donacija nas ohranja »v poslu« in našo programsko opremo trajnostno za prihodnje generacije.

  • Ohranjamo vaš nadzor in vaša donacija omogoča, da KDE ostane resnično neodvisen.
  • Dosegamo ljudi, ki jih je tehnološka industrija pozabila in vaša donacija prispeva k služenju tistim, ki jih industrija ignorira, ter v skupnost pripelje marginalizirane uporabnike, da lahko projekt razširimo za vse.
  • Prizadevamo si za uvedbo proste programske opreme v javne ustanove in vaša donacija nam pomaga prilagoditi našo programsko opremo zahtevam javnih ustanov, tako da vaši davki gredo za financiranje proste programske opreme, ne pa nekega velikega tehnološkega podjetja.

Kako uporabljamo denar

Our goals are ambitious and we need funds to carry them out. We need:

  • solidno infrastrukturo za razvijalce, prevajalce in druge sodelavce
  • izvajalce (tržnike, organizatorje dogodkov, odvetnike, računovodje) za izvajanje specializiranih nalog
  • financiranje potnih stroškov sodelavcev, da bi imeli vsi možnost sodelovati v skupnosti
  • plačilo udeležbe na dogodkih in materialov za stojnice
  • naročanje umetniških del in dizajnov
  • ciljni razvoj.

... in rešite svet

KDE prispeva k čiščenju sveta in tudi vi lahko.

KDE contributor Farid inspired us to take on the "30 for 30" challenge: for our 30th birthday, we are asking you to do something to help the environment and make the planet a nicer place to live in. Farid is planting 30 trees and we want you to come up with something similar.

Posnemite sebe in svojo ekipo pri izvajanju dela in vaš projekt bomo promovirali na družbenih omrežjih.

Tukaj je še nekaj idej:

  • Rešite 30 računalnikov (ali več!) da ne končajo na odlagališču odpadkov
  • Nadgradite 30 telefonov s prostim mobilnim operacijskim sistemom
  • Očistite 30 hektarjev gozda
  • Prepričajte 30 ljudi za prosti operacijski sistem
  • Pripeljite 30 tehnoloških strokovnjakov na sodišče, da prenehajo graditi podatkovne centre za umetno inteligenco

KDE's history

KDE has had a long and exciting history. Here we present a brief summary of what has happened over the last few decades, but if you want to see all the details, visit our timeline website, which gets updated every time something important happens.

KDE trivia

Ste vedeli, da...?

... je KDE pomagal poslati robote na Mars?

Res smo! In imamo grafične dokaze, ki to dokazujejo:

Screengrab from "Good Night Oppy" on Amazon Prime

That is from the documentary Good Night Oppy, about the Opportunity Mars rover. In the scene you can see a NASA engineer troubleshooting the rover while in flight towards Mars from a KDE 3 workstation.

You can watch Good Night Oppy on Amazon Prime.

... KDE je zgradil mehanizem HTML, ki poganja večino spletnih brskalnikov?

To je res!

KDE's web engine was written back in 1998 - 1999 and was subsequently used as the basis for Apple's Webkit and Google's Blink engines. This means that most modern browsers, including Safari, Chrome, Chromium, Microsoft Edge, Opera, Vivaldi, and Brave, use KDE software at their core.

Dejansko, če kdaj preverite dnevnike dostopa vašega spletnega strežnika, boste v skoraj vsaki vrstici videli "KHTML".

In da, "K" v "KHTML" pomeni "KDE".
