Thank you (and Lamarque) also for helping me to integrate some VPN plugins, bluetooth tethering support etc. into plasma-nm; and also for bringing back the network speed plotter during our chat at Akademy 2015 :-) -- Regards, Rajeesh

Best regards, Jan Grulich Thanks for all the work (features and bugs alike, as you know software is always a mixed bag :D), and yes, indeed a very core component of Plasma. As Jonathan said, don't be a stranger, KDE has very good memory :) Regards, Ahmad Samir OpenPGP_signature Description: OpenPGP digital signature
Re: Plasma-nm: passing on maintainership
Thank you for all your work on the network stack over the years! And also thank you for performing some offboarding. :) Hopefully we can find someone else to pick up the torch.

Re: Plasma-nm: passing on maintainership
Many thanks for your important work over the years. I've updated those 3 products in bugzilla to default to plasma-bugs@. Don't be a stranger, Akademy in Greece next year will be sunny. Does anyone on this list have an interest in taking on Plasma-nm bugs?

Plasma-nm: passing on maintainership
Hi, When I joined KDE as a developer, I started as a newbie working on NetworkManager and ModemManager integration and ended up writing one of the core Plasma components. Thanks to this I gained a lot of experience, attended a few Akademy conferences and met amazing people. I'm really grateful for the experience and I consider it as an important part of my life. Unfortunately, as life goes on and new projects appear, I found that I basically have zero time to dedicate to anything related to NetworkManager/ModemManager integration in KDE and all the bugs assigned to me for these components don't get enough attention from my side. For that reason I would like to ask to update bugzilla components for *kf5-networkmanager-qt*, *kf5-modemmanager-qt* and *plasma-nm* to have plasma-devel as default assignee and find someone who can be assigned by default to all code reviews to lead these projects. I will still happily help from time to time to explain some things around plasma-nm, but I will no longer be able to actively fix bugs and develop new features. I will still be around, mostly working on things around Flatpak, PipeWire, etc. Thank you. Best regards, Jan Grulich
