(Thanks again, Jan for your time and expertise, I enjoyed the work!) This has<br \/>\nbrought quite some possible improvements to light, some of which are easy one-liners (like changing<br \/>\na label), some of them require changes of parts of the UI. I&#8217;ll start fixing the one-liners as soon<br \/>\nas I have Jan&#8217;s final report, to keep guidance releasable, and will work on the other issues as soon<br \/>\nas we have a stable version released and can start a new release cycle. (Yeah, I know about<br \/>\nbranching.)<br \/>\n\tI&#8217;ve had a BoF about the future of kcontrol with Benjamin Meyer. He asked if I&#8217;d like to put<br \/>\nguidance into kdeplayground to give it some more exposure to developers and generally agreed on the<br \/>\nidea of using python to build kcontrol modules. He also liked most parts of guidance and actually<br \/>\nsees an existance of them in kcontrol before his virtual eyes. Promising.<\/p>\n<p>\t<strong>KDE and marketing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\tI&#8217;ve stepped up to try to improve the marketing of KDE in a more structured way than it has ever<br \/>\nbeen. This will be quite a hard task, but it can also be a lot of fun. Yesterday we had a pretty<br \/>\nlong BoF about how we can get this pig flying, and we actually came to a pretty good (and stable, I<br \/>\nthink) approach. Existing efforts will be improved. More information on all that is yet to be<br \/>\nwrapped up for the involved mailinglist, so expect some material on that. I&#8217;m already thinking about<br \/>\na couple of things that could really help us on our way to world domination &#8211; which will by the way<br \/>\nhappen, the only question is why. <strong>:-)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>aKademy&#8217;s hackathon has nearly come to and end for me, we will be kicked out of the University of Malaga at around six o&#8217;clock, at which point I&#8217;d like to have dinner.
