This means, if we do not have enough people signed up by Monday next week, we'll have to cancel the booth. That would be the first Linuxtag in several years without a KDE presence. So, if you can spare a few hours and are based in or near Berlin, consider signing up here: http://community.kde.org/Promo/Events/Linuxtag/2013 If you have any questions, please let me know.

Cheers, Kevin </pre> Kevin Krammer 2013-04-13T17:22:31 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.kde.events/16845 <pre>Hi All, Attached is the first draft of my interview with Daniel. It was suggested after the last round of interviews to do follow ups, conversation style after the initial questions were answered. Daniel and I were on Google Talk last night, and neither of us could come up with anything else right off, so we decided to send this first draft to the list and see if any of you have ideas for additional questions based off of his answers here. Thanks everybody! Jayson Daniel Nicoletti Interview: Q: Could you start by telling us a little about yourself? A: I find this self-questions the hardest to answer, but well I'm 27 years old, married, had twins but, sadly one died in a tragic car accident 2 years ago, I'm also a Christian, I studied Computer Science here in Brazil on a university of my church, it's actually funny because I actually studied my whole life in this institution. I like sports mostly swimming and cycling, I like to play football but I hate spend time watching it. I also like cars quite a lot, I dream with the day I'll be able to buy an used BMW :P People I know normally makes jokes telling me how Windows or some computer stuff is good, just to get me started preaching how those things suck... Q: Where do you get your paycheck? A: I work for a company called Indra that has a software to manage ADSL clients, and some portals for it, so it's mostly a support work making sure a bunch of pieces are working well together. I staying on the client (Telefonica) which is a 20 minute walking (something great in a city like São Paulo). Q: What do you do for KDE? A: A bunch of stuff, I have some problems to stay with a single thing, right now I think I have a project overflow issue... back to the question, the projects that take more of my time are Apper, print-manager, colord-kde, and the list might grow once I find some free time, there is also libdebconf-kde, PhotoBook, sessionk... and some other non-KDE projects too... Q: How did you get started contributing to KDE? A: My first KDE contribution was around 2007 when I was writing an application to my conclusion thesis, the app was called doka and was supposed to accelerate downloads, at that time a download accelerator was very important to me because I used to download lots of Linux CDs, the patch was then to let the http kio set the end range of what would it get, I dunno if KGet ever make use of it (at that time it simply closed the connection on end). I stopped developing doka as KGet was doing pretty much what I needed. Q: How much time do you spend working on KDE? A: It depends a lot on what I have to do on my work, since a support job not always require you doing stuff sometimes I can spend the whole day, sometimes I can't do nothing :P Q: What keeps you motivated? A: As Linus once said "free software is all about selfishness", so I also think my motivation is my own needs, once I find something is missing or broken I want to fill this gap, I have a bunch of apps that I miss but sadly I don't have time, and to delegate a task you need people that not only share your frustrations but also that knows how to code... Q: What are some of your future goals for your involvement with KDE? A: Make more and more projects to have the best DE ever, there are several apps that I find that are good or sometimes not so much but that doesn't fit well my needs, most of the changes I want to do are too intrusive and from past experience showed big changes are too hard to do, so I somehow feel it's easier to just start yet another... Q: What are some of your hobbies and intrests outside of KDE? A: hmm well I'm trying to build a company but I'm not finding much motivation these days, I have lots of stuff done but also a lot is missing and the result is not immediate... _______________________________________________ This message is from the kde-promo mailing list.

However, we need people to staff the booth :). So, if you have time and are interested in showcasing KDE at a cool event, please add yourself to http://community.kde.org/Promo/Events/Linuxtag/2013.

Come on this is your chance to have someone do something awesome for promo or artwork for 3 month - paid! Depending on the idea I might even be willing to co-mentor. The nice thing about this program is that during the application period they need to do a small contribution so you can see if you're willing to work with that particular person. Got something? Add it here http://community.kde.org/OutreachProgramForWomen please! So far there are not enough non-coding ideas.

We would like an article on the dot in time just after the release. I've attached some draft text for the article, but feel free to modify/rewrite everything :) The text is basically the same as my blog post about the beta: http://www.sharpley.org.uk/node/60 but I've changed it from being written in first person to third person to better suit being on the dot. Note that it contains two FIXME items that need changing before release, referring to checking the download location. Please check with Martin Klapetek or myself before publishing.

This was originally started by GNOME, but has also other participating organisations like Wikimedia, Mozilla, Fedora and others. With KDAB as our sponsor we will be offering one internship. This is in no way only limited to coding, but includes user experience design, graphic design, documentation, web development, marketing, translation and other types of tasks needed to sustain a Free Software project. Prerequisits for application: Any woman who has not previously participated in an Outreach Program for Women or Google Summer of Code internship is welcome to apply, provided she is available for a full-time internship during this time period. This program is open to anyone who identifies as a woman regardless of gender presentation or assigned sex at birth. Genderqueer and genderfluid people are welcome to apply. The application deadline for candidates is already on May 1st, while the program runs from June 17 to September 23. Please all, suggest suitable tasks on this wiki page [2] and volunteer to mentor. Feel free to contact me or Lydia for more information.

I took some time away from community activities as I changed jobs at work (from IT SysAdmin to Developer). That has settled down for me a little now, so I'm spending less time in the evenings working on my development skills for work and I have some time I could commit to helping KDE again. Please feel free to ping me if you think there is something I can help out with, or if you'd like me to try and do some more PBK interviews. Thanks, Jayson. _______________________________________________ This message is from the kde-promo mailing list.

So I guess we can learn a bit from this and make our next releases even better served to journalists. Maybe this could be one of the BoFs on Akademy 2013? openSUSE shows how to promote a release: http://ur1.ca/d3f6s Hosts of Linux Action Show also praised the promotion of the release: http://youtu.be/FsTQc0ME1eo?t=33m12s openSUSE promo team has also perpared this wiki for the launch: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Social_media_launch_plan BTW, congrats to Jos and his team for the great job with promotion.

Peter Grasch and I were meeting earlier today to discuss some things related to KDE's presence at the main annual FOSS event here in Graz (Austria). The topic of enabling visitors to try KDE on their own machines via life-CDs came up and moved into providing life images on USB sticks. Later at home I thought: wouldn't it be cool if we had a KDE based life-image on USB sticks there were KDE branded? I looked a bit around and there seem to be quite a lot of companies offering USB media branding, so I thought I'll check with the promo people if something like that had alread been done or considered. Our requirements seem to be pretty low, given that most (all?) of those devices are available in blue base color and our logo or name would just be a one color print (white on blue base color).

The conference will be held in Wrocław, Poland. This is the biggest conference of this type in Poland - last year the conference attracted 400-500 attendees. As I mentioned in the subject we are looking for the speakers. While we generally try to offer our foreign speakers refunds for travel and accommodation costs I can not say we will be able to do so for everyone. I would be really grateful is people interested in participating as speakers emailed me with their proposed topics. There are virtually no topic constraints - as long as it is related to FOSS (though personally I'd like to have a KDE-related talk :). For example last year we had Colin Charles talk about MariaDB. For slightly more information you can visit the event's page[1]. There is also registration form[2] which you NEED to fill in if you decide to participate as a speaker. Of course you are welcome to participate in the even as an attendee - participation in the conference is free!
