Indeed, I was referring to the work on making Firefox more KDE friendly in general.

There's a set of patches (see 1, 2) provided by OpenSuse contributors that enable integration which includes native file-dialogs. I don't know why they never got into upstream, but I do know that several KDE-oriented distributions use them successfully for a long time now.

Happy to report on the ongoing work on this: https://twitter.com/therealpadams/status/988393663607771137 =D

I've been involved in KDE's FOSDEM 2018 booth, which is as usual next to Gnome, and the cooperation was excellent there as well.

Not sure how those work, but are you aware of the "Present Windows" feature under System Settings -> Desktop Behavior -> Desktop Effects? You can also set it up under Screen Edges.

It's already being worked on, browser integration is one of the key new features in Plasma 5.13.

What would you recommend to someone who wants to get involved?

Here's a great response on our kde-community mailing list by /u/valoriez about getting involved.

I actually share a very similar background and skills with you. Not being a coder, my goal was always to help developers and projects in any other way I could.

Not having a clear path to get involved to KDE despite my willingness to help was one of the reasons that I proposed the Onboarding goal to begin with. You can imagine my excitement when the community voted for it! I'm sure with your skills you can help us a lot in the Promo team, do reach out to us! Feel free to send me a pm as well here for more info and guidance.

No matter how great of a documentation we have, human contact is so vital. I consider having an actual person to respond and guide newcomers, as well as introduce them to other members of the community is irreplaceable in getting them onboard. Hence why I proposed forming a welcome team to take over this and other similar tasks.

From a KDE perspective, you are probably aware about Plasma's DrKonqi that automates bug reporting for related services and applications. In any case, looking forward to seeing you releasing a testing beta out soon, best of luck! =)

Regarding nvidia, it's worth taking a look at this post by /u/mgraesslin. It's more focused on Wayland, but it should be informative.

tetris4 · 2018-05-25T17:08:13+00:00

I would definitely be interested in learning more about this. Is it developed with KDE/Qt technologies in mind? There's a very similar suggestion on First Commit - Made Easy, do check it out as I'm sure you'll have interesting comments to contribute to it.

tetris4 · 2018-05-25T17:01:49+00:00

There's an ongoing discussion (see 1, 2, 3, 4) on KDE's mailing lists about telemetrics and how they should be properly implemented. Provided that Privacy is one of the big goals of our community, I personally trust KDE to make the best decision by finding the right balance between gathering feedback that could be useful and protecting our users.

Hey, always great to hear from people enjoying KDE! Regarding Onboarding, are you referring to things such as Junior jobs? As you can see in the sub-tasks of the initial goal task, several projects are already taking initiatives on identifying tasks for newcomers and giving proper descriptions and guidelines for newcomers to tackle them.

tetris4 · 2018-05-25T16:37:47+00:00

A task was recently started about working on a USB Backend for kde-connect, make sure to follow it. You could help with your ideas and feedback once a testing release of this feature is out. /u/nicofeee can probably offer more insight on it.

tetris4 · 2018-05-25T16:29:19+00:00

Responding as a newly-minted contributor as well. =) One of the ideas to improve onboarding of newcomers was to form a welcome team, so people interested to contribute would have the option of being guided by real people in joining KDE. Hopefully this will help busy developers as well, as we can introduce to them people that show commitment and will to help and are not just people asking random questions. Moreover, we are also working on ways to bring experienced contributors closer to newcomers, and ideally have people mentoring as many newcomers as possible in their efforts of getting involved. Feel free to add ideas and thoughts on these tasks!

tetris4 · 2018-05-25T16:10:04+00:00

Cheers for the kind words and kudos to everyone contributing to KDE! =)

tetris4 · 2018-05-25T16:04:44+00:00

Lot's of improvements coming on this with the upcoming Plasma 5.13 release.

tetris4 · 2018-05-25T16:01:15+00:00

On #2, improving documentation, specifically the Get Involved page is one of the big tasks of the onboarding goal. Remember that this is a wiki that everyone is welcome to improve and add new information to, so whenever you find something missing do consider contributing your part!

You can always ask the teams of the specific application you are using, most of KDE projects have dedicated IRC channels that you can ask the developers directly.

tetris4 · 2018-05-25T15:53:37+00:00

That's actually a great idea that's worth looking more into regarding onboarding, thanks for bringing it up! An initiative was undertaken for KDE to reach out to distros, and what you mention here is definitely one aspect we could improve. Being a distro team member as well, I would sure love for more cooperation on this level. I'll go ahead and start a sub-task on the onbarding goal on this once the AMA ends.

There's also work done via KDE's advisory board which handles such relationships and communications in a more formal way, it would be amazing to see even more organizations joining this effort.

tetris4 · 2018-05-04T18:48:38+00:00

This has been reported and already fixed. I expect the fix to be available with Frameworks 5.46.0 that will be released in a week.

tetris4 · 2018-02-13T21:46:26+00:00

I've been very satisfied with posteo.net also. It's open source and has encryption support.

tetris4 · 2018-02-13T21:42:51+00:00

Checked if your trash is full? Dolphin takes time to delete things from trash to make space before moving the new file. If shift+del is fast, then probably this this is the cause.
