sky: microsoft.
vlc: there is mplayer.
teamspeak: proprietary,
origin: proprietary

i don't care about industry. they have money, they can hire and pay as many developers as they want/need.
once in a time people had the idea to be able to make use out of computers without needing those big companies to support them.
to me it seems qt is only taking care of how to best adjust to the needs of even those companies!

i had a long'ish text here trying to explain my point. i decided not to post it because it would get way too long to explain everything. just some simple keywords:
gtk: opensource!, c-api, glade (did overcome code generation), xml-ui spec files, gobject / glib, gtkmm c++ wrapper, themes//theme-engines, event-loops, very nice handwritten gtk2 pygtk wrapper, gtk3, gobject INTROSPECTION, pango&cario integration
qt: trolltech, nokia, microsoft..., e, CODE GENERATION SIGNAL SLOT CRAP!, trying to make money!, no c-api !?, a bloated API of operating system abstractions --- in a gui toolkit? really? all those socket, filesystem .... crap, it has qmake? don't we have the autotools? and who is too stupid to write a 4-lines makefile to compile a simple 1 or 2 files gui app?

OpenSUSE To Offer a Rolling Release Repository 72

Posted by timothy on Saturday December 04, 2010 @02:40PM from the distinguish-from-nightly-builds dept.

dkd903 writes "While the rumors of Ubuntu moving to a rolling release have been brought to a halt, another major Linux distribution is looking to provide a rolling release. In a message to the opensuse-project mailing list, openSUSE developer Greg Kroah-Hartman announced a new project – openSUSE Tumbleweed. OpenSUSE Tumbleweed will provide a rolling release for those openSUSE users who wishes to have a rolling release. It will essentially be a repo containing the latest stable versions of the applications."
