Hello all,
My 0.02 EUR: I'd say conflict resolution (like non-violent communication)
and interpersonal communication skills.
To be most effective they should be available for the whole community so
rather online than during events.
(Mis-)communication between people has caused issues multiple times and it
would be good to improve the
situation. That would help the community as a whole.

Best,
Marta

KDE goals IRC office hour

[Lydia Pintscher]

Hey everyone,

We'll be doing an office hour around the goals we set to improve
usability and productivity, privacy and onboarding of new
contributors. We will meet in #kde on freenode IRC on Thursday, March
15th at 16:00 UTC. You can see
https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=KDE+goals+IRC+office+hour=20180315T17=37
for your timezone. In the office hour you can ask all your questions
around the goals as well as talk about your ideas for pushing them
forward. Hope to see many of you there.


Cheers
Lydia
