Hey folks :) Here is your quick update on the progress we're making towards our goals.
* At FOSDEM we've asked people 3 questions related to the goals. José posted the result here: https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-community/2018q1/004340.html * There has been a ton of activity around improving usability and productivity. New people are coming on board to help as well. Nate is a hero and blogs about it weekly. Here are the posts since the last update I sent (have a look!): ** https://pointieststick.wordpress.com/2018/01/11/this-week-in-usability-and-productivity/ ** https://pointieststick.wordpress.com/2018/01/20/this-week-in-usability-and-productivity-part-2/ ** https://pointieststick.wordpress.com/2018/01/27/this-week-in-usability-productivity-part-3/ ** https://pointieststick.wordpress.com/2018/01/29/polishing-plasma-5-12/ ** https://pointieststick.wordpress.com/2018/02/03/this-week-in-usability-productivity-part-4/ ** https://pointieststick.wordpress.com/2018/02/11/this-week-in-usability-productivity-part-5/ * Currently exploring if and how we can make a much requested feature happen: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75324 * For the onboarding goal the Get Involved pages have been improved and streamlined (https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved) but could still use more work. Additionally Neofytos started gathering input (for example at FOSDEM) and worked out concrete next steps (some examples: website and bugzilla improvements, mentoring, forming a welcome team). These will be put into tasks in Phabricator in the next days so that everyone can join in and help. But full speed will only happen when he has finished his move across Europe. * For the privacy goal sebas started collecting input about the status quo here: https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-community/2018q1/004246.html * We'll be doing an office hour on IRC in the next weeks to answer questions and get input and help. We still need to figure out a good time. * Neofytos and me will join the promo sprint this weekend to among other things talk about how to integrate the goals in our promo work.
