https://pointieststick.com/2021/10/13/25-ways-you-can-contribute-to-kde/

The #KDE sysadmins moved their CI pipelines to GitLab:

...plus the usual array of bugfixes and improvements for the next release.

I can't believe Valve is actually launching a consumer device powered by #ArchLinux and #KDE #Plasma!

The promo video is worth watching, even if you're not a #KDE user.

It's a great example of a community project getting marketing right. We can't just be writing code and hope that users will find out on their own...

Another #KDE #Plasma bugfix release:
https://kde.org/announcements/plasma/5/5.22.2/

Now waiting for the updates in #ArchLinux and #Fedora updates... 💀

the SDDM login manager can now be run as #Wayland-native software without needing #X11 at all!

#KDE

If you're a happy #KDE user, please contribute some of your free time to help with bug triaging. And especially if you're an unhappy user... you might wanna help yourself! 😉

I would argue that software quality has 3 foundations: good code reviews, testing, and... yeah... when everything else fails, bug triaging too!

#KDE #Plasma 5.22 is out with improved Wayland support, usability improvements and eye candy 🍬

I've been personally testing it for you every day, so it's bug-free and just perfect in every detail 😉

https://kde.org/announcements/plasma/5/5.22.0/

#KDE #Plasma desktop 5.22 will be released next week:
https://community.kde.org/Schedules/Plasma_5#Future_releases

If you're technical enough to file good bug reports, install the beta this weekend and help us catch any remaining issues!

Please help #KDE test #Plasma 5.22 beta:

@srevinsaju, once again, your contributions to #Spectacle are featuring in "This week in KDE":
https://pointieststick.com/2021/05/07/this-week-in-kde-ui-improvements-abound/

Congrats, and thank you for getting it through a long review! 👏
#KDE #Plasma

Remember when #Kdenlive was an unpolished, crash-prone, barely usable video editor?

I'm genuinely amazed by how far it has come:
https://kdenlive.org/en/2021/04/kdenlive-21-04-released/

By the way, it's also available from #Flathub. #KDE

The #KDE folks have gotten really good at making promo videos! 🤩

"Have a look at https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved to discover ways to be part of a project that really matters. Each contributor makes a huge difference in KDE; you are not a number or a cog in a machine! You don’t have to already be a programmer, either. I wasn’t when I got started. Try it, you’ll like it! We don’t bite!"

In case you missed it, watch the catchy #KDE #Plasma 5.21 launch video:

Ah, #KDE #Plasma 5.21.2 is already out:
https://kde.org/announcements/plasma/5/5.21.2/

Finally updated #Fedora 33 on my laptop to #KDE #Plasma 5.21.1

I used this COPR repo:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/mkyral/plasma-unstable/

#KDE Plasma 5.21 was released:
https://kde.org/announcements/plasma/5/5.21.0/

This week in KDE: KWin gains direct scan-out, and Gwenview gets a lot of love
https://pointieststick.com/2021/02/05/this-week-in-kde-kwin-gains-direct-scan-out-and-gwenview-gets-a-lot-of-love/

Impressive number of improvements, I can't wait to upgrade my laptop to 5.21 (on my desktop I'm already using KDE built from git head so I can help with testing).
