Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Teaching others will help you learn. Encourage collaboration by allowing a [...]

Supporting Software Product Releases with Social Media Tools

By Alexandra On 20/03/2011 · 3 Comments · In KDE, Net, Software

Community: my first steps

By Alexandra On 07/03/2011 · 2 Comments · In Net, Rants

It all started with an anniversary One of my all-time favourite children’s TV show went into it’s 25th year at the time. I still watched it on a regular basis and [...]

Career opportunities and YouTube videos

By Alexandra On 02/03/2010 · Add Comment · In KDE
Diva! Hum… I guess it’s been a while since I last blogged. This time however I have something to show off: Till’s and my presentation at CampKDE is on YouTube.

Organize a Booth and Keep Your Sanity

By Alexandra On 06/11/2009 · 3 Comments · In KDE
lightbulbs After having a quick chat with Kévin Ottens on IRC we agreed that it would be useful to write up a small how-to explaining the Art of Booth Organization™ as a follow up on the how-to for sprints I posted earlier. He has been poking me about it repeatedly, so voilà, Monsieur, finalement, c’est fait. While [...]

By Alexandra On 26/09/2009 · Add Comment · In KDE, Net
moo Ariya complained about me being too theoretical again and wanted examples for my last blog. So here we go. One of my alltime favourite online companies is moo.com.

social I have been thinking. This is not quite unusual but this time it had a reason: Augustín’s blog about Social Networks and Lydia’s identi.ca review.

Home At Last

By Alexandra On 13/07/2009 · Add Comment · In KDE
