Here at KDE we've always struggled a bit with branding and the
announcement
of formats for the bunch of releases that was originally "KDE" then
"KDE
SC" then "KDE Applications" and at Akademy 2019 we decided to debrand
it
and make it a release service with lots of different stuff in it. We
had
monthly update announcements that included those releases on the
months
when they happened and otherwise included everything else released
over the
past month. But the format doesn't seem to have caught on by various
metrics. So the promo group had some chat about different formats you
can
read at https://phabricator.kde.org/T14091
Currently the plan is to reband it probably with the name KDE Gear.
Ouch, y'all ended up liking my silly suggestion ^_^ Sorry about that.
Anyhow, I'm expecting we're not necessarily have to change stuff like
branch names or RELEASE_SERVICE_VERSION_MAJOR cmake variables to adapt
to this promo driven change, right?
I would vote for keeping the generic purely
internal names we have.

That
gets released every 4 months (same as currently) with a big
announcement
for it and everything in it. It's still a collection of apps and
supporting libraries with no connection to each other except they
happen to
be KDE projects which don't want to do their own release work. Then
every
4 months on the months between times we have an update article
highlighting
all the other stuff that has been released by KDE. The bugfix
releases for
KDE Gear happen monthly as currently and only have a minimal
announcement.
We hope this format will get some more traction with engagement from
outside press and social media buzz. Any comments welcome.
