KDE Adopts CMake
KDE

The KDE development community adopted CMake, Kitware's open-source build system, to improve the process of building KDE. The use of CMake enables faster start-up for projects since there is less time spent fighting with the build system. KDE developers have found the system much more user-friendly and efficient for their builds.

ITK Spurs Development of CMake
Insight Segmentation & Registration Toolkit

CMake was originally developed in response to the need for a powerful, cross-platform build environment for the Insight Segmentation and Registration Toolkit (ITK). ITK, an open-source toolkit for image registration and segmentation, required a sophisticated tool for creating cross-platform makefiles to manage the build process. ITK has been using CMake since its initial implementation in 2000, and the ITK community has contributed to the continued development of CMake.
