Re: Saying hello
Hello to both of you, Christian and Ayrton. Most people here got involved as you are doing, either creating or helping to create some project, or fixing a favorite bit that needs some love. Be sure to also join the KDE Community list, and also specific lists and IRC channels corresponding to your interests. Fixing bugs is great, answering user's common questions is also useful! And read though documentation and fix the bits that are behind or incorrect. More senior people often can't see those parts, because of too much familiarity. KDE-community ML: https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-community https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo gives an overview of some KDE lists; not exhaustive though (and maybe not fully up-to-date) https://userbase.kde.org/IRC_Channels is again an overview. If I'm looking for a specific channel to refer users to, I usually use "alis", freenode's channel search service. Use it like so: /msg alis list *searchterm* and read the output in your server tab. It would be cool if you have a blog to add it to the KDE Planet. If you don't have one, start! It's a wonderful way to get the word out about your projects, or what you are learning. https://planetkde.org/ All the best, Valorie On Tue, Jan 5, 2016 at 1:54 PM, Ayrton Cavalieri de Almeida wrote: > Hello! > > My name is Ayrton Cavalieri, I’m new to the KDE too! :-) > I’m working with my team on the Br-Print project, a 3D printer host written > in Qt/C++.

Re: Saying hello
Hello! My name is Ayrton Cavalieri, I’m new to the KDE too! :-) I’m working with my team on the Br-Print project, a 3D printer host written in Qt/C++. Be welcome to the community!

Saying hello
Hi! I just joined this list and therefor wanted to introduce myself. My name is Christian Kalkhoff, I live in Munich, Germany and have been a KDE user on different OSes and GNU/Linux distributions for a long time now (started at pre-1.0). I am a proud Fellow of FSFE and try to promote Free Software whereever and whenever I can. My native language is german, I speak/write english for many years now and started with swedish about a year ago. I always wanted to contribute to KDE as a developer but did not find the motivation and time to get into C++/QT until recently. I have about 10 years experience developing enterprise Java applications, but I join KDE as an absolute novice of KDE, QT and C++. I am planning to write a simple electrical resistor calculator as my first app. I also would like to contribute to some junior tasks but I haven't found something appealing yet. Perhaps you can help me to help you? :) Best, Christian -- Christian Kalkhoff - Softwarebefreier - software liberator Fellow of FSFE - Support FSFE! https://softmetz.de https://blogs.fsfe.org/softmetz >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<

I answered a post on SO: http://stackoverflow.com/a/34612692/592636 Tried to link kwallet's FindGpgpme.cmake into the answer; and there's *no* easy way quickly get a link to KDE infrastructure serving the file via Google (not even api.kde.org). Try googling for "kwallet findgpgme.cmake" (very specific search after all): https://www.google.de/search?q=kwallet+findgpgme.cmake -> First result: Github..., rest: mildly interesting Different issue I just noticed: There's no way to get the plain-text (raw) representation of a given file on LXR, is there? Would be useful as well.
