In addition to Camp KDE and Akademy there are other conferences, which is called Developer Sprints. The Developer Sprints are focused gatherings of developers to work on a specific part of KDE. Usually there are 2 3 days meetings of around 10-15 people. The Developer Sprints include core people, but also least one or two

newbie quota to get fresh developers into the community. They are supported by KDE e.V. financially and organizationally. It will also provide help and advice where needed and appropriate. The results of meetings are documented on the KDE.News. They also create a sprint landing page on the community wiki, which give a brief summary of the sprint and link to relevant material.[79] KDE PIM Meeting is the annual meeting of KDE PIM team, held in Promo sprint Osnabrck, Germany since 2003.[82] Akonadi Sprint is another meeting of KDE PIM team since 2007; it focus on Akonadi.

Technology platform
The KDE technology platform consists of three parts: KDE Development Platform, KDE Workspace and KDE Applications.

KDE Platform
KDE Platform consists of the libraries and services needed to run KDE applications. Libraries include: Solid, Nepomuk, Phonon, etc. Packages include: kdelibs, kdepimlibs and kdebase-runtime. The libraries must be licensed under one of the LGPL, BSD license, MIT License and X11 license.[90]

KDE brand map

While the KDE Platform is mainly written in C++, it includes bindings for other programming languages.[91] Bindings use the following generic technologies: Smoke: for creating bindings for Ruby, C# and PHP; SIP: for creating bindings for Python; Kross: Embedded scripting for C++ applications, with support for Ruby, Python, JavaScript, QtScript, Falcon and Java are supported Stable and mature bindings available for the following programming languages:[92] Python Ruby (Korundum, built on top of QtRuby) C# Perl

Plasma Workspaces

The Plasma Workspaces provide the environment for running and managing applications.[93] They include many components such as KWin, KDM, Plasma core libraries, Klipper, KSysguard, and System Settings. There are different available GUI environments: Plasma Desktop for desktop computers, Plasma Netbook for netbooks, and "Plasma Active" for smartphones and tablets.[94]

KDE Applications

KDE Plasma Netbook

KDE Applications are built on top of the KDE Platform like Okular, KTorrent, Kexi and KDE Partition Manager. KDE applications can potentially be portable between operating systems and independent of a particular workspace or desktop environment. Some brands identify application suites built up from several applications, such as KDE Network, KDE Graphics and KDE Utilities. Some applications are part of the regular Software Compilation releases, others are part of Extragear and release to their own schedule.

Implementation
Most KDE software uses the Qt framework which runs on most Unix and Unix-like systems (including Mac OS X), and Microsoft Windows. As of 2011 CMake serves as the build tool. This allows KDE to support a wider range of platforms, including Windows.[95] GNU gettext is used for translation. Doxygen is used to generate api documentation.[96] KDE Software Compilation: KDE Software Compilation (KDE SC) is the coordinated releases of new software versions, gathering elements from the previous components to build an integrated core of software. The KDE SC is not a product as a single entity. Calligra Suite: Integrated office suite. KDEWebdev: Web development tools. KDE-Extragear: Extragear is a collection of applications associated with KDE. Those applications are not part the official software compilation, but they are still part of the project. KDE-Playground: This package contains pre-release and unstable software. It is a place for applications to mature.[97]

Collaborations with other organizations

Wikimedia
On 23 June 2005, chairman of the Wikimedia Foundation announced that the KDE community and the Wikimedia Foundation have begun efforts towards cooperation.[98] Fruits of that cooperation are MediaWiki syntax highlighting in Kate and accessing Wikipedia content within KDE applications, such as Amarok and Marble. On 4 April 2008, the KDE e.V. and Wikimedia Deutschland opened shared offices in Frankfurt.[99] In September 2009 KDE e.V. moved to shared offices with Free Software Foundation Europe in Berlin.[100]

Free Software Foundation Europe

In May 2006, KDE e.V. became an Associate Member of the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE).[100] On 22 August 2008, KDE e.V. and FSFE jointly announced that after working with FSFEs Freedom Task Force for one and a half years KDE adopts FSFEs Fiduciary Licence Agreement . Using that, KDE developers can on a voluntary basis assign their copyrights to KDE e.V.[101] In September 2009, KDE e.V. and FSFE moved into shared offices in Berlin.[102]

Commercial enterprises
Several companies actively contribute to KDE, like Collabora, Erfrakon, Intevation GmbH, Kolab Konsortium, Klarlvdalens Datakonsult AB (KDAB), Blue Systems, and KO GmbH. Nokia used Calligra Suite as base for their Office Viewer application for Maemo/MeeGo.[103] They have also been contracting KO GmbH to bring MS Office 2007 file format filters to Calligra.[104] Nokia also employed several KDE developers directly either to use KDE software for MeeGo (e.g. KCal[105]) or as sponsorship. The software development and consulting companies Intevation GmbH of Germany and the Swedish KDAB use Qt and KDE software especially Kontact and Akonadi for Kolab for their services and products, therefore both employ KDE developers.

Others
KDE participates in freedesktop.org, an effort to standardize Unix desktop interoperability. Since 2009, GNOME and KDE co-host their conferences Akademy and GUADEC every two years under the Desktop Summit label. In December 2010 KDE e.V. became a licensee of the Open Invention Network.[106] Many Linux distributions and other free operating systems are involved in the development and distribution of the software, and are therefore also active in the KDE community. These include commercial distributors such as SUSE/Novell[107] or Red Hat[108] but also government-funded non-commercial organizations such as the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey with its Linux distribution Pardus.

Notable uses
Brazils primary school education system operates computers running KDE software, with more than 42,000 schools in 4,000 cities, thus serving nearly 52 million children. The base distribution is called Educational Linux, which is based on Kubuntu.[109] Besides this, thousands more students in Brazil use KDE products in their universities. KDE software is also running on computers in Portuguese and Venezuelan schools, with respectively 700,000 and one million systems reached.[110] Germany uses KDE software in its embassies around the world, representing around 11,000 systems. Through use of Pardus, a local Linux distribution, many sections of the Turkish government make use of KDE software, including the Turkish Armed Forces,[111] Ministry of Foreign Affairs,[111] Ministry of National Defence,[112]

Turkish Police,[111] and the SGK (Social Security Institution of Turkey),[111][113] although these departments often do not exclusively use Pardus as their operating system. The CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) is using KDE software.[114]
