Your chance to contribute to KDE in non-C++ – or the first KDE-CI IRC meeting
This blog post is about another possibility to contribute to KDE. It’s about taking work off Ben’s shoulders and about fixing the bus factor for our great CI (Continuous Integration) system.
I’d like to start a series of weekly or bi-weekly (to be decided) IRC meetings to coordinate the work to understand, change and enhance our CI system and therefore we need a first date. So if you’re interested please add yourself to this Doodle (think about different timezones!).
Prospective agenda for the IRC meeting:
- Ben: Short introduction to KDE CI
- Everybody: Short introduction incl. their skills and wishes for KDE CI
- Ben: What needs to be changed
- Everybody: Work on a roadmap and distribute work till next meeting
- Everybody: Determine date for the next IRC meeting
This is your chance to help KDE to enhance the code quality and spread to even more platforms and thus bring our great software to even more computers and people. But if you prefer to support us in another way their is our ongoing fundraiser. Thanks for considering to help us!
And one last thing about the KDE CI system: we’ve a page about CI on the Frameworks wiki too.
Short Personal note: My diploma thesis was finally accepted (and thus again thanks to everybody who wished me all the best for my thesis!) and thus I’ve a bit more time (to coordinate some stuff in KDE ;-). But I still need to learn and pass the exams (and there is some other big private change in my life soon to come ;-).
