The Release Team would like to see all KDE developers get into Release Mode.
This means: - only bugfixes - focus on the most visible components - do polishing changes of the user interface now One very important point of this is that we need to stop thinking in terms of the pieces we usually work on. Now we need to get into this final phase of trying the desktop, identify things that don't work well enough yet and try to make them work. Lend your fellow gearhead a hand. This might mean for some to code outside your own pet-project. It means fix everything you can so we can all see the desktop getting better by the day. It requires some effort from all of us. Getting KDE developers into Release Mode means that we now need to show that we do care about the bigger picture and that we need to help each other getting showstoppers out of the way and make stuff work. It also means a period of high strain on our nerves, we all know that this is not only about fun, but so be it. I will be fun again once we've done this heavy lifting. Of course this all does not mean that everybody just cares about his own code right now, it means that we're close enough to the big release that some priorities need to shift. This is the time to show that we do not only operate as a bunch of subprojects, this is the time to show the world that the KDE community -- diverse as it is -- can function as *one* team with *one* shared goal: Getting the next generation Free Desktop to the users. Once we have done that, we can get back to Fun Mode taking advantage of all the goodness that the pillars of KDE bring to us. ... so you feel like getting your hands dirty?

Then pick the next one. - techbase beta goals page http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/KDE4/4.0_Release_Beta_Goals - techbase krushdays page http://techbase.kde.org/Contribute/Bugsquad/KrushDays - bugzilla kde4 beta bugs http://bugs.kde.org Get in contact with the relevant developer via IRC (#kde4-devel, #kde4-krush), if in doubt, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] And don't forget, Saturday is the next KDE 4 Krushday. -- sebas http://www.kde.org | http://vizZzion.org | GPG Key ID: 9119 0EF9
