Hello, I’m Carl. I’m French-German and I currently live in Berlin. In my free time, I contribute to the KDE project where I (co-)maintain multiple applications: Tokodon, Merkuro, Arianna, NeoChat as well as the websites. Previously Nextcloud. Aside from coding, I like cycling, backing and playing board games.
Work at GnuPG.com, but opinions are mime and not the one from my employer
@boredsquirrel @kde 1. While some devs (like me) works on both Kontact and Merkuro devs, other are only working on one of them. I don’t see Kontact disappearing anytime soon.
CalDAV is definitively supported
Journals works in KOrganizer. It’s quite unlikely I will add that to Merkuro mail any time soon as I have no real use for them and I don’t want to makes the UI more complex.
@QuazarOmega @G020B The power of KIO!
@blackfire @thisweekinkde kubuntu 24.04 won’t include plasma 6 but a not so well maintained plasma 5 session unfortunately
@Corb_The_Lesser @kde @kde@lemmy.kde.social yeah the new wizard had to be completely rewritten for Qt6 and still requires a bit of work and testing with various email providers. 😔
@mnglw the tablet was connected to a laptop underneath
@kellyaster @Bro666 Pretty hungry but I’m cooking a ratatouille right now to fix this issue :)
@shaan7 @kde @kde@lemmy.kde.social You go to Fosdem or the next Akademy, and you buy one :)
@Bro666 No it will be in building H this year, next to gnome, mastodon and mozilla
@zygoon @kde@lemmy.kde.social @kde kernel 3.10 was released more than 10 years ago and received a last update in 2017. Is that really a kernel still used in the wild?
Looking at https://lxr.kde.org/search?%21v=kf5-qt5&_filestring=&_string=sched.h, KDE does not do a clone3 directly. It’s likely done by a dependency of Plasma :( But I might be wrong as I’m definitively not an expert in syscall
@parens The last financial report for 2022 is available https://ev.kde.org/reports/ev-2022/#working-groups_
and for 2021 https://ev.kde.org/reports/ev-2021/#working-groups_
@parens @troyunrau Exactly, it took me 5 years from my first contribution to finally getting hired full time to work on some KDE and KDE related open source code. And I’m very prolific in term of contributions (https://invent.kde.org/carlschwan).
It’s quite an issue to get money, the current budget KDE e.V. has is around 200 000€ a year and that pays for a few part time employees. I’m lucky that I found a company interested in developing a commercial open source project based on KDE (gnupg/g10 code).
@troyunrau @leopold We now create .exe and .appx for each app using Craft. The ultimate goal is to automatically submit the job artifact when releasing to the microsoft store https://blogs.kde.org/2023/12/20/gitlab-microsoft-store
We also do the same for some app for submitting to our own F-Droid repo on Android.
@XeroLinux @kde it’s an issue with the qt 6.7 beta
@cameronbosch @kde Some of this changes are likely to be included in Plasma 6.1 in Breeze, but some will probably stay in this fork for now.
@justin @kde @kde@lemmy.kde.social we don’t want people to vote on them. This will be decided by community judges.
@boredsquirrel Yes Merkuro uses the same backend. And we (Merkuro dev) are contributing to improve it which benefit all the Kontact users.
