In the beginning there was the swamp, the hoe, – and Jussi!

So you thought Amarok was the “only thing worth considering”? Think again.

Enter Tomahawk.

I recently came across Leo Franchi’s blog post and discovered a brilliant new music player. Its not yet packaged for Ubuntu, as some of the libraries still need packaging – hopefully we can have it sorted in time for Oneiric.

I’m not going to repeat his blog post – you can go read it yourself or take a look at the tomahawk website. However, in the short time I have had to play with this, its impressed me immensely. It allows sharing of music and playlists with friends through twitter and jabber, as well as music discovery through the same means. You can scrobble to last.fm, and loads more – I’m still finding the features out

In anycase, its cross platform, available for Linux, Windows and Mac and a Android player is “being worked on” (So Ive been told).

If you want to help out with development or just have a question, feel free to join us on IRC – #tomahawk on freenode

See you there!

Oh, almost forgot – the obligatory screenshot – stolen from Leos blog :=)

 Well Peoples, its that time again, yet another good excuse to party! (YAGEP).  So, KDE SC 4.4 is releasing andm YOU, yes YOU can organise a party.

So heres how it works!

1. Check the wiki to see if there is already a release party in your town/near you: http://community.kde.org/Promo/ReleaseParties/4.4  – If you want to join a party, just add your name to the list! (so its easier on the organisers)

2. If theres not, have a look at http://community.kde.org/Promo/ReleaseParties for some help on how to organise one!

3. When you’ve made your plans,  Add your party to the wiki! (make sure you are logged in so you can edit)

4. Get inviting people and promoting your party! Blog, tweet, tell others about !

Remember, everyone is welcome to create parties, not just core KDE people. If you are excited about KDE’s New release, then you too can create or join a party!

So, Ive now got my blog syndicated to planet KDE, You should be seeing a whole lot more posts from me in the near future.

For those that don’t know me, I’m Jussi, Better known on IRC as jussi01 and I work a lot with Kubuntu and Ubuntu’s IRC world. I also do some testing and a whole lot of support for Kubuntu. I’m now getting involved with KDE Promo, hence my blog is over here also

Cheers!
