There is also kpaste, and none of those have seen commits in 4~5 years
so nixing them should not be a problem.

That's simply not true: we have all seen Paul Brown's message where
you are invited to participate in the promo team. What you mean to say
is that you are not allowed to be part of the promo team under your
own rules and conditions, but when you put it like that you do not
sound much like a victim and you lose some negotiation power.

While I personally have no position regarding your one-man charge
against the promo team (I do not have enough information to pick a
side here), I am very much against your theatrical portrayal of the
issue when we can all clearly see what is going on here. If you want
to do promo under your own terms like back in the ol' days 15 years
ago, then just say so, no need to play victim.

Ohio Linux Fest?

[David Narvaez]

Hi,

I went to reimbursements.k.o to check out the information about the
KDE Edu sprint, and noticed there is an event for the Ohio Linux Fest.
Given that that is not too far from where I live, I would be willing
to help there if needed. Who is coordinating that?

Thanks.

I am still not sure I understand what is the use case here: you mean
what do I do when I am working with 3rd party projects and I want to
contribute code to those projects? I usually go visit their web page,
find the "Developers -> How to contribute" page and do whatever they
need me to do provided it is not super complicated.

Github's "forking" was not around when FOSS started, derivative work
is a different thing.

It is just like feature branches, except every fly-by contributor will
have a clone repo with one patch and that way maintainers will have a
harder time figuring out what's been done where and who's working on
what. If this is the workflow you like, good for you, but I want to
opt-out from this madness and use git as it was meant to be used.

  You couldn't be more wrong.

Can everybody just take a step back and relax?

John is not calling for a KDE UPRISING (in capital letters), he's just
saying he's not collaborating for this and that reason, and someone
else needs to step in. None of you posting here have posted scientific
proof of your claims, so let's just talk about who's taking on John's
missing contributions. We can discuss FOSDEM's policy in a separate
thread/meeting.
