Keep the Things You Forgot
hi :) (i stole the subject without shame. but it seemed appropriate given the topic) we’ve all gotten out of the habit of communicating with the outside world, with some notable exceptions. Martin, in particular, has become an outstanding blogger. the rest of us have been overly quiet. i’m working on getting my bloggerificness going again rather than just hiding on irc and g+ ... i’d like to invite all of you to blog at least once a week about the amazing work everyone is doing with Frameworks 5 and Plasma 2. there is SO MUCH ACTIVITY in the repositories and the progress is astounding. it is important that the rest of the KDE (and beyond!) community sees this movement too so they know what we’re up to and that we’re still running ahead at great speed. communicating is how we get more contributors, it’s how we get more users, it’s how we find more partners, it’s how we remind others to believe as much as we do in the things we’re doing. love ‘n hugs to you all ... -- Aaron J.

I'd like to add a big (HUGE) +1 here. I'm reading several mailing lists (some less to get less distracted from my diploma thesis ;-) and it's great to see what your doing and accomplishing atm. Please tell the world, blog as hell! > love ‘n hugs to you all ...

Big +1 for blogging more. I also find myself reading G+ daily for the last KDE "news". News that was used to be blogged and aggregated on planetkde. Luckily for me the next KDE PIM sprint is fast approaching so that will certainly give me some nice QML based stuff to blog about. Other then that i don't have a lot to blog about sadly. Just lots and lots of debugging going on and dev stuff in projects that are not directly KDE related. A blog post that i'd very much like from you (Aaron) is about the next big KDE version, the naming and how the complete collection is going to be called or if there even will be a collection release (what KDE SC is now). Press is still getting that wrong, i tend to get it wrong and other people talking about KDE seem to get it wrong. Usually it's just being referred to as "KDE 5" which is wrong. (Frameworks 5, Plasma 2, ...). So if you have the time, a blog about that would be wonderful and very educational ^_^ Cheers, Mark ___ Kde-frameworks-devel mailing list Kde-frameworks-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-frameworks-devel

Basically just a discussion starter on the community list to discuss the future of Modules and Apps and the SC and how we need to do a big clean-up and re-brand for Gen5. I think most people here have a loose idea of where we are heading, but it would probably be a good idea to make it more explicit at some stage. Kick me at the PIM Sprint if I haven't sent it by then :-) John. ___ Kde-frameworks-devel mailing list Kde-frameworks-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-frameworks-devel

I think you won't get it clearer than that. Best Mario ___ Kde-frameworks-devel mailing list Kde-frameworks-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-frameworks-devel

Talking to a few people there does seem to be an interest in having a clean-up of the modules and apps, reducing the number of apps in the "official" release, having fewer "essential" applications of higher quality, and killing off the "SC" name once and for all. I'm also keen on breaking down the whole Modules vs Extragear distinction, they're all KDE Applications built by the same KDE Community, just with different release schedules. How that all might work is something the community as a whole needs to discuss.
