Nice talk Richard, well done.
Pity I missed the announcement as I wasn't subscribed to the 'devel'
mailing list - I am now :-)
Have been using Rosegarden since at least 2005 and it's been my main
sequencer and indeed it's notation editing capabilities have always been
quite outstanding compared to lots of commercial software.
I would say it was one of the OSS, linux-only pieces of software which
pushed me to switch to Linux for personal computing around 2006-2007.
Rosegarden is cited (together with other FLOSS) in the closing credits
of the (independent / budget / sci-fi) feature film I made the
soundtrack for [1][2] in 2016 (released in 2017), because it was
essentially what I used to compose it. I also use it for all of my
'digital' music production.
I guess Richard's talk is a nice occasion to re-iterate a big thank you
to all developers and contributors to Rosegarden over the years, and
indeed, this is a small but very active and engaged community, an
element which makes it special :-)

Thanks Ted!
The talk didn't go as smoothly as I'd hoped (big auditorium and I got
vertigo at one stage) but hopefully, some of it makes sense. I really
enjoyed putting it together and one guy did say he might get involved
afterwards, so who knows? ;) I'm still quite keen to add some more tests
and work on improving CI quality generally but it all depends on many
things - not least finding some spare time.
