Finale: Vote for Lancelot (the last time, I promise*)

Functional Programming in C++

Published by Ivan Čukić in the KDE development: Plasma section, on 24 June 2009

I am rather excited to announce that Lancelot is one of the finalists in the SourceForge community choice awards for the present year, and that it is a finalist in no more and no less than two categories - “Best Visual Design” and “Most Likely To Change The Way You Do Everything”.

I want to thank all supporters, and I’d like to invite you yet again to join the click-fest called the ‘voting’. By clicking the image above, you’ll get a small questionnaire where you can choose your favourite projects. Lancelot will be automatically selected in its respective categories. Naturally, you can choose another project for those, but I strongly encourage you not to do that :)

Apart from Lancelot, I do suggest you to vote for Avogadro (“Best Project for Academia” category) and Audacity (if you find it as good as I do). For the other categories, I’ll leave the suggestions to other people and you.

Cheerio, and one big THANK YOU!

First of all, thanks!
@<a href="#comment-8288" rel="nofollow">Narendra</a>: I would like to work on Raptor very much, but I don't have the time to do so.
@<a href="#comment-8289" rel="nofollow">Marcus D. Hanwell</a>: I saw your blog post (it reminded me that I need to write this one :) ). So, I have to say 'go team KDE'! :) (I've even posted the links on KDE forums)
@<a href="#comment-8290" rel="nofollow">Dread Knight</a>: The first thing is possible in 4.3. Reordering of the favs will be trickier, but I think I'll manage it for the next version.

Lancelot rocks.. however it would be fantastic you combine your efforts with another parallel project - Raptor..

You got my vote, I love Lancelot. I also mentioned Lancelot as my first pick from other software in the CCA, other than Avogadro (which I am biased about as I work on it). Good luck - I would love to see Lancelot win (almost as much as Avogadro ;-) )

Voted for it already I found it. I'm using lancelot now :) Wish it would have a way to clean recent documents and allow reordering of favorite items....

Hi!
First of all, I'm a Lancelot user and I like a lot. But, why do you include themes with it? Wouldn't it be better to send the themes (you have created) to theme autors, so that they include the files into the "official" theme?

Thanks, I just voted. I did vote for Lancelot in the two relevant categories. Not because you asked, but because you coded! Lancelot actually deserves the Best Visual Design award, it is an amazing example of visual. The only problems with the design are known bugs. Also Lancelot really does change the way I interface with the computer. It does change the way I do almost everything.

@<a href="#comment-8294" rel="nofollow">gskbyte</a>: It doesn't really change anything where the theme are stored. Especially when both Lancelot and Plasma (and their respectable themes) are a part of KDE.
So, I wouldn't need to send anything to anyone, just would move them from kdeplasma-addons to kdeartwork package in SVN.
The main reason it is like this, and not the other way is that it is easier for me to handle them.
