Interview on Tech Over Tea about KDE’s position in the world

Presentations & Interviews 1 Minute

I recently went on Brodie Robertson’s Tech Over Tea channel for a second time. I guess I didn’t succeed at pissing him off enough on the first go-around, because he invited me back! Let’s see if I did a better job of it this time by telling him he was using Arch wrong. 😀

Anyway, Brodie was a fantastic host, and we talked about a number of topics such as KDE’s position in the world, institutional continuity, fundraising and financial stability, the difficulty of reporting and triaging bug, the challenges of packaging software, and windows that block WiFi signals.

I hope you enjoy it!

And here’s the link I mention at the end: https://kde.org/community/donations 🙂

  2. The number of bugs fixed per week has dropped a lot since Plasma 6 released. I remember it being 200 and sometimes more! Would you say there is less developer activity? Or a shift of focus? Or Plasma 6 is so flawless it doesn’t need as many fixes? Or something else?

    1. The historical average seems to be in the range of 110-140 per week. When it went up to 200, that was because we were all doing a mad burst of bug-fixing right after a major release; it was all hands on deck. However that pace of work isn’t sustainable. You don’t want people to burn out.
