[kde-community] A change of heart
I did send this originally to the kde-www address but I thought I'd send it here as well for a bit of fun.

Given the social nature of this setup, and the fact it is built upon wordpress (it is basically a set of wordpress plugins that have been tested together), I felt that this might be something that KDE might like to take under consideration? A standard install would include forums, groups, collaborative docs, social @ mentions, user profiles etc, etc. Also, using the multi user aspect of wordpress it would still allow certain projects to keep their identity, but remain under the networks umbrella, as evidenced by: http://helpwanted.commons.gc.cuny.edu/ Naturally, being exposed then to the wordpress plugin ecosphere would allow then a better integrated events management, job board, even a store if desired. Ultimately though, the goal is to increase funding. The KDE websphere is too spread out, and this would help reign it in so we can really do focused funding campaigns on users. That would be the advantage of the groups, as we could tailor funding drives to particular interests and hopefully have better success. Administration might also be made easier as we could get rid of a fair few subdomains by moving to this kind of platform. Anyway, it's late, and I'm jabbering. Let me know what you think! :-) ps There is also a buddypress app that could be rebranded: https://github.com/yuttadhammo/buddydroid Mozilla were also working on bugzilla intergration a while back: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643570 ___ kde-community mailing list kde-community@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-community

Re: [kde-community] Hackaton in Timișoara Romania
Hello world I'm returning with some more details and clarifications. The Hackaton will host multiple sections, one of which will be Open Source. Other sections are Gaming, Web development, Mobile development, embedded programming, etc. We already have some interest from the OpenStack community, and I would hope to have more interest from the KDE community. As I've mentioned we are expecting ~500 hackers, for the whole event, not just the Open Source section. The hackers can be students or IT professionals. We are currently looking for sponsors and are in the process of finalizing finalizing the venue negotiation. I am aware that 17-19 october is very soon, but I'm still hoping We will be able to bring someone from KDE over, to give a few talks and mentor the hackers. The entire exact layout of the event has not been yet established, it's still a work in progress. We will have a meeting on Thursday to resolve more things. I'm also hoping for some help on how to organize the KDE part of the Open Source section (presentation, talks, project workflow, etc.) Any feedback or questions are greatly apreciated.

[kde-community] better donations url
Hi Ben has now setup a redirect from kde.org/donate to http://kde.org/community/donations/ so we can have a simpler more memorable url to use when talking about donations. It also means if in the future we want it to point some where else its easy -- Kenny ___ kde-community mailing list kde-community@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-community
