@floss.social

Hello, I'm Carl. I'm French-German and I currently live in Berlin. In my free time, I contribute to the KDE project where I (co-)maintain multiple applications: Tokodon, Merkuro, Arianna, NeoChat as well as the websites. Previously Nextcloud. Aside from coding, I like cycling, backing and playing board games.

Work at GnuPG.com, but opinions are mime and not the one from my employer

@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.

@kellyaster @Bro666 Pretty hungry but I'm cooking a ratatouille right now to fix this issue :)

@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.

@Strit @leopold It takes a lot of time to port to KF6 and it is good that a release sooner than later even if it is still based on KF5.

@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.

  1. CalDAV is definitively supported

  2. 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.

@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).

@PureTryOut @carlschwan@lemmy.kde.social Yes it's a bit weird but the other way is pretty nice, if I ping the kde community account it will create a new post on the lemmy instance and also I can reply to your lemmy post with my mastodon account :)

@troyunrau @leopold We now create .exe and .appx for each app using Craft. The ultimate goal is to automatically submit the job artifact when releasing to the microsoft store https://blogs.kde.org/...

We also do the same for some app for submitting to our own F-Droid repo on Android.
