[cumbria_lug] Last Friday's meeting...

[Adam Pigg]

I finally finished building kde3.2

Im really quite impressed, using the new PIM suite kontact which is an 
evolution/outlook killer for businesses, it even has its own server (kolab) 
but i just use it for mail :o)

I realised i could have done a better demo of kexi if i had ran:
'kexi db' where db is the name of a database...it brings up a list of tables 
and clicking on the tables shows the data.  So its not as featureless in the 
gui department as i thought.

I thought it was a fairly good meet, nothing formal was accomplished but it 
was a general good experience with everyone doing different things.
