Yes. A cleaned-up recording, hopefully with captions, will definitely be on PeerTube, probably on YouTube too. We'll post the exact address when it is done.
What does this mean?
It allows you to access your files as a network drive. It downloads the file you open into a cache when you open it and sends it back when you edit it.
True.
I want a solution where the files are physically on my local drive and are synched when there are changes.
The NextCloud/OwnCloud integration does this. I am not aware of a similar solution for Google Drive.
KDE does not "take over" projects. Project leaders can request becoming part of KDE and gain all the benefits from belonging to a bigger community: infrastructures, translators, services, etc. But if the original developers do not push their own project forward, it is unlikely anyone else will.
We phased out "KDE" as an acronym years ago.
I agree. That said, users coming from proprietary tools may be gracious enough to meet the volunteers building free software at least half way.
It is not perfect, of course! It also does not have the resources of Blender. Then again, both pieces of software are quite different and have different uses.
Thanks for your invitation, then I cordially and officially invite you accept the KDE Invent (Gitlab) access which I requested months and months ago.
A developer account, the kind of account that gives contributors full access to GitLab, gives the power to do a lot of damage too. In view of how malware has been injected into FLOSS projects in the past, you will understand why KDE's Invent instance is not an open, free-for-all affaire.
You have to go through a process, wherein one of the steps entails being sponsored by someone who is already a veteran contributor to KDE. This, in turn, entails contributing to KDE for a while, maybe in a non-development role, or by using the open services of invent. If you have not gone through that process, the sysadmin team will ignore your petition.
That said, properly submitted requests for developer accounts are approved all the time.
See here on how to proceed:
https://community.kde.org/Infrastructure/Get_a_Developer_Account
Notwithstanding, when it comes to bugs, which seems to be your main concern, there is a lot you can do without a developer account. Triaging, for example, wherein you confirm that a bug exists, check if it happens everywhere (i.e. across platforms and distros), and figure out what triggers it is an invaluable contribution that will save developers many hours of hunting and testing.
Why not start there? All you need is an account on https://bugs.kde.org and you will also revive bugs that may have flown under the radar and contribute to getting them sorted once and for all. Your help could be key to that.
For now all I could contribute is by donating money (check the records, it’s public).
And that is much appreciated too. Thanks
Well, yes. Lots of minor annoyance are popping up, most are being easily solved, so there will be a lot of minor updates over the next few weeks. 6.0.1 will be out in 6 days and a lot of the stuff annoying the early adopters will go away then.
Elementary has the same problem with its mail app.
Because the problem is Google not wanting third party apps accessing their service.
Edit: In other news, I just tried it and GMail works just fine with KMail. Setting up is a three step process and automatic most of the way.
Sorry, but... which goal does this apply to?
