Report: KDE at Linux Bangalore 2003

KDE.News has a report on Linux Bangalore, as viewed from the KDE booth. "One thing I've noticed is that in India, Linux is synonymous with Red Hat simply because they seem to be the only distribution to have put serious effort into this market so far. Almost all the demo machines at the conf were running it, and most people's KDE experiences seem to be from Red Hat too. Not such a great thing, especially as downloading software off the net is hard due to the low availability of broadband. I hadn't really anticipated this, so at the conf itself I spent quite a bit of time burning and giving away CDs with whatever KDE sources happened to be on my laptop at the time. It's going to be very important to get good KDE packages onto the next few Fedora releases, as its quite hard to even find other distributions for sale."
