KDE Development

Since mid-2008 I have been helping out on KDE’s window manager, KWin, as a developer. Although I originally joined to help polish compositing support and effects I ended up somehow doing quite a bit of core work as well. Below you can find a log of my activities in KWin and KDE in general, as well as any other useful information I come across to help other developers working on the code.
