Season of KDE (SoK) participants have improved translations, Kdenlive, LabPlot and more.

SoK is KDE's mentorship program that helps members of the public become active open source contributors.

This year, participants have translated apps into more languages, implemented multi-format rendering and keyframe curve editing in @kdenlive , ported @be4foss testing tools to Windows, added options for importing and exporting data to @LabPlot and much, much more.

common linux-user FUD on FreeBSD forums:

> "modern wifi doesn't work!"
> "it won't run a desktop"

reality: user doesn't want to read docs/man/apropos

here's a Thinkpad X1 Nano:

  • KDE Plasma6 on FreeBSD 14.0R-p6
  • Intel AX201 wifi (basic wpa-supplicant params)
  • external travel monitor: plug-n-play, it just works

time required: 20 minutes of relaxed leisurely morning coffee sipping

@winterschon I installed Neon on a P14s and everything worked out of the box including WiFi, power management, the printer, and the fingerprint reader. Fantastic experience

@gbhnews I can grow tomatoes. Honey is more challenging and important.

@gbhnews I love bees but find honey too cloying. And tomatoes bear more when bumblebees pollinate them. So I consider both options are votes for bees.

DeepMind's tools and AF2 blew scientists away with their ability to predict structure.

Now AlphaFold 3 is here, and it solves one long-standing complaint: that AF couldn't predict complexes with ions, DNA, and other biomolecules.

I've "something" about 15.6.

I know, you at , are not the 1st address for that issue. I already made a comment to the right guys. But I'm quit sure, your interest in a working evolution-version for 15.6 is at least as high as mine... maybe you can progress that the guys take a look into it...

For @kde I couldn't find the 2023 financial report, but I managed to find this (go to "Financial Working Group" section):

https://ev.kde.org/reports/ev-2022/

Total Income: 285,495.97 €
Total Expenses: 384,604.78 €

The figure provided in the KDE 2022 report. it shows two pie charts, the left one is for income, and the right one is for expenses. The two largest income sources are "Supporting members & donations" (42.6%) and "Patrons/Corporates" (23.5%). The two largest expenses are "personnel" (54.5%) and "Akademy" (17.9%).
