ah, kde stats
Cornelius posted a neat summary of the source code heft in KDE's main modules. It was also picked up by some of the general F/OSS community news sites.
Michael Meeks posted an blog entry showing other projects' line count next to KDE's while asking "the real question is not 'is KDE valuable' - of course it is; but how does it compare[?]" In a nicely concise table he shows that Ohloh pegs KDE at 5.5 million lines of code with GNOME at 15.7, Linux at 7.9 and OpenOffice at 8.5 respectively. That makes KDE's code base look smaller in comparison to these other projects, doesn't it?
Unfortunately, statistics are often hard to interpret when aggregated like that. Also unfortunately, Michael's blog doesn't accept comments to it (2000 called and it wants it's blogging software back? so I figured I'd expand a bit on this here.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
