Slo-Tech - Evropska komisija je včeraj objavila rezultate razpisa za vzpostavitev storitev v suverenem oblaku, na katerem so štirje konzorciji za šest let prejeli 180 milijonov evrov za izdelavo svojih rešitev. Na razpisu so izbrali štiri konzorcije, da bi se izognili zaklepu na enega dobavitelja. To so luksemburško-francosko partnerstvo Post Telecom (ter OVHCloud in CleverCloud), nemško podjetje STACKIT, francosko podjetje Scaleway ter belgijsko-luksemburško-francosko partnerstvo Proximus (Thales, Google Cloud, Clarence, Mistral). S tem razpisom želi Komisija okrepiti suverenost ter doseči strateški nadzor nad ključnimi teologijami in infrastrukturo. Več na Slo-Techu.

Slo-Tech - Kitajska je uspešno preizkusila nov stroj za rezanje podmorskih kablov, naftovodov, plinovodov in drugih objektov na globokomorskem dnu. Z ladje Haiyang Dizhi 2 so minuli konec tedna uspešno izvedli preizkus na globini 3500 metrov. Tehnologija, ki je izrazito dvojne rabe, že zbuja zaskrbljenost, ker bi se lahko uporabila za prekinitve internetnih povezav na odprtem morju, kjer so bili kabli doslej sorazmerno varni pred človeškimi posegi.

Slo-Tech - OpenAI je predstavil nov model GPT-Rosalind, ki so ga natrenirali za uporabo v bioloških vedah. Za zdaj je namenjen uporabi v raziskovalnih organizacijah, ki lahko zaprosijo za brezplačni dostop, kasneje pa bo dostopen tudi širši javnosti. GPT-Rosalind, ki je seveda poimenovan po Rosalind Franklin, želi odpraviti dve prepreki, ki se pojavljata pri bioloških raziskavah dandanes. To sta ogromna količina podatkov, ki nastajajo zlasti s sekvenciranjem DNK in razvozlavanjem zgradbe proteinov, visoko specializiranim žargonom na podpodročjih. Več na Slo-Techu.

KDE Plasma 6.7 enjoyed a lot of recent feature development work thanks to a developer sprint in Graz, Austria. Also because of that developer sprint, This Week In Plasma wasn't published last week and so in turn a new issue is now available to highlight the changes over the past two weeks...

As KDE grows, so does the interest in each of its projects. Gathering all KDE news in one place no longer works. The volume of updates coming from the KDE community as a whole has become too large to cover in its entirety on the Dot. With this in mind, we are archiving the Dot, but keeping its content accessible for historical reasons.

The news coming out of the community was curated and edited for the Dot. The current rate of news items being published today would've not only made that impractical, but would have also led to things being unjustly left out, giving only a partial view of what was going on.

But we are not leaving you without your source of KDE news! We have figured out something better: we have worked with KDE webmasters to set up a blogging system for contributors. You can now access Announcements, Akademy, the Association news, and the news from your favorite projects directly, unfiltered, unedited, straight from the source.

Or... If you want to keep up with what is going on in ALL KDE projects and news on a daily (often hourly) basis, use the Planet! Access it on the web or add an RSS feed to your reader. You can also follow KDE news as it happens in our Discuss forums and talk about it live with the rest of the community. You can even follow @planet.kde.org@rss-parrot.net on Mastodon to stay up to date.
