  • Thanks for the AUA! Really excited about the Mega Release and even more for the future after!

    My question is regarding Nate’s original proposal for the KDE goals “Professionalise KDE” if I remember well. Now, I know that the goal was changed and the scope reduced to “Automatization and Systematization” but I truly believe the original proposal’s spirit could have a huge impact on the whole ecosystem.

    For example I remember the proposal contained the plan to hire a person working “full time” on actively finding fundings and grants and applying to them. We got the Mega Release fundraiser but for example on the forum I found https://discuss.kde.org/t/formalities-for-stf-funding/9916 and it looks like a waste of potential to not apply for grants because no one has the time to do so.

    Is there anyone at KDE, maybe among the Board, who is still trying to make the “Professionalise KDE” happen?

    P.S. I know you guys just want to reach the biggest amount of people but maybe we could start having the AUAs/AMAs and similar, only on Lemmy and a post on Reddit saying that the event will be hosted on Lemmy. This would make the Lemmy community the official one and could convince people to make the switch for the “exclusive content”. It’s not a critic, just want to see Lemmy prosper.
