The name Trinity was chosen partly because the word means "three" and TDE was formerly a continuation of KDE 3. Now its own desktop environment project, it continues to gain features, fix existing bugs, and provide a stable desktop to all. + +The TDE project was founded by and is still led by Timothy Pearson. Timothy is an experienced and skilled software developer and was the KDE 3.x coordinator of previous Kubuntu releases. + +Note: The correct reference to Trinity is "Trinity," "Trinity Desktop Environment," or "TDE"; not "KDE3," "Trinity KDE3," "KDE3 Trinity," "KDE3 (Trinity)," "Trinity (KDE3)," or "KDE3 forked." The Trinity Desktop Environment project is not a continuation of KDE 3.5 by KDE e.V., members of which no longer support the KDE 3 series. Trinity is an independent fork provided by a separate developer community. Thank you for using the correct name! + +<b>Press Contact Information</b> + +Project Lead: Timothy Pearson, kb9vqf@pearsoncomputing.net +SRU Release Coordinator: Slavek Banko, slavek.banko@axis.cz |
