@alfajet @kde @kde@lemmy.kde.social BMW is using a bunch of our frameworks already and do occasionally some contributions: https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/bluez-qt/-/commit/1a5660ab1547236c7bc0f883bbbb039889489a22
@blackfire @thisweekinkde kubuntu 24.04 won't include plasma 6 but a not so well maintained plasma 5 session unfortunately
@Corb_The_Lesser @kde @kde@lemmy.kde.social yeah the new wizard had to be completely rewritten for Qt6 and still requires a bit of work and testing with various email providers. 😔
@parens @troyunrau Exactly, it took me 5 years from my first contribution to finally getting hired full time to work on some KDE and KDE related open source code. And I'm very prolific in term of contributions (https://invent.kde.org/carlschwan).
It's quite an issue to get money, the current budget KDE e.V. has is around 200 000€ a year and that pays for a few part time employees. I'm lucky that I found a company interested in developing a commercial open source project based on KDE (gnupg/g10 code).
@cameronbosch @kde Some of this changes are likely to be included in Plasma 6.1 in Breeze, but some will probably stay in this fork for now.
@RyunoKi @kde @kde@lemmy.kde.social it's all optional and you need to go out of your way to configure it. Also it is used for actual useful stuff like translation and is fully offline.
@Kalcifer we use gitlab community edition which is completely open. Gitlab offered us a free ultimate subscription but we decided to keep using the 100% open source version instead.
@boredsquirrel @kde 1. While some devs (like me) works on both Kontact and Merkuro devs, other are only working on one of them. I don't see Kontact disappearing anytime soon.
CalDAV is definitively supported
Journals works in KOrganizer. It's quite unlikely I will add that to Merkuro mail any time soon as I have no real use for them and I don't want to makes the UI more complex.
