An Interview with KDEPIM Contributor Tobias König
Welcome to another interview with a KDE contributor. This time we talked with Tobias König from KDEPIM about Akonadi and the TV series Lost.
Hello Tobias. Can you introduce yourself to our readers?
I’m a 27 years old computer science student, living in Dresden, Germany. In my spare time I develop free software and try to advocate Linux and KDE software.
When did you hear about KDE?
The first time I read about KDE it was about version 1.0 Beta 4 in the German PC Magazine. After having read the article multiple times I decided to wanted to be part of KDE. Unfortunately I had neither a Linux installation nor knowledge of C++ development, only a Windows 95 PC and basic Pascal experience. So I walked to the local book store, bought a RedHat distribution and a ‘Learn C++ in 21 hours’ book and that’s where the journey started...
How do you contribute to KDE?
Most of the time I work on the KDEPIM project as maintainer of KAddressBook, however during the last months and years Akonadi, the desktop PIM service is my favorite project.
What is missing in KDE software?
