Re: new KDE e.V. office
When and if I get the chance to visit Berlin, can I stop in and say hello? :-) Because yes, I would put the KDE e.V. headquarters on my sightseeing list! (My wife thinks I’m crazy.)

new KDE e.V. office
Hey folks :) KDE e.V. has been looking for a new office over the past weeks. Petra has been doing a lot of work scouting suitable locations and found a very nice place for us. Last Thursday we moved in. The new office is in the Aufbau Haus in Berlin. The new address is: KDE e.V. Prinzenstraße 85 F 10969 Berlin We will do a small house-warming party as part of the next board meeting on the weekend of April 28th. Cheers Lydia PS: if you see the old address anywhere please add the place to https://phabricator.kde.org/T7931 so we can update them all. -- Lydia Pintscher - http://about.me/lydia.pintscher KDE e.V.

I would rather not attract recruiters, but I am very sceptical about them in general. They can easily go over the border disrespecting privacy and ethical values. Even if I just look at that Debian list, most of it is somewhat unrelated to Debian. Best regards, Laszlo Papp

Re: List for job offers
If this is not the right list for such offers, is there then another mailing list or some other place in KDE for it? If not, would it be a good idea to create such a place?

Absolutely awesome! Thanks to the KDE community in general and those who made this happen. Greetings, Clemens.
