 Hello. Okay, welcome back. This is our session where the reports for the KDE-EV-1 teamers will be presented. This used to be part of our general assembly. We were presented the money for KDE-EV-1 members. This year we decided to move those reports for the general program of an academy, since they have comments that may be of interest for the general KDE-EV-1. So, we have six reports being presented today. The reports for our KDE-EV-1 groups, which are the funding rating, community, financial, intelligence, the report, and the CDAN-EV-1 group and also the reports for the KDE-EV-1 foundation. So, every group will present their report in eight minutes, and then we have time for just one more question. So, let's get started. The funding rating is the working group. You can go back to your lines. This year KDE-EV created this working group, and I was one of the volunteers. So, that's their part of last year. What we do is the purpose of our work is to coordinate and create the fundraising campaigns for KDE-EV-1. So, that's it. These are the people that made the working group. So, our team, we can run the summer and summer last year. The first fundraising campaign of the working group was the random meters one. We used the website. The goal was accessibility. We only reached 30% of our goal because we didn't have much time to open the campaign. We lost track of stuff. So, it was also the first time that I worked for KDE-EV-1. All that, it wasn't going to end, but it was already a long, long work. So, we made some stars on each attitude. Before KDE-EV-1 from last year was supporting the fundraising group, which was a media campaign. We created a plan for our KDE-EV website on KDE-EV-1. And we spread the word about KDE-EV-1. So, as I said, our first campaign was not as accessible as we wanted to. It didn't want me because we started working on it too late. But, we learned from our case and I think being in a KDE-EV-1 major actually exceeded its goal. So, we did a lot better in terms of planning. We started planning both on earlier and we posted more often. We'll follow up on that on social media. So, this is something to keep in mind tonight. So, the second campaign, at the end of the year one, we started earlier because we learned from our mistakes. We made our mistakes on the ground and the one here was real huge problem. And it was the face of it. We raised that amount of money a little bit above our goal. We ran the campaign for 30 days to have that number of factors. And it was amazing to see the... I think that's what helped a little bit was the info that we showed them, what we have done during the past year. To boost the timing of the end of the year. And also, we worked from where we have two of those stories, same thing about Brunner and the content of the website. And how we helped them to do the test. So, as the new morning, don't start the fundraising campaign too close to the event or go to be achieved because it was our first time we were working in this fundraising. I was nothing to all the stuff that Kadele finished us. So, it was kind of a challenge to get there. Our result of promo because they know a lot of all the things. And don't wish for a picture without the S movement. It was on the Brunner website. It says, the future year round. So, for example, we made two donations. And we need to refund the whole round because it wasn't going to the end of the year. So, it was something that I was learning wherever I needed help. Something that the Patrician group used more of is some of the resources and opportunities. So, we are currently doing these fundraising, but we have some very useful ways we could get funding. We also could maybe refund our first store or ask Kadele in a new way of transitioning as a contractor. We are doing the financing service. Also, I never think that our new group is actually more active than ours. Because, you know, it seems like today is Super 1 and we are sending everything along. So, if anyone wants to help, those websites could turn on, if, you know, I need to always turn on the new group. For the next year, we have these goals. We are also going to discuss the release with new, we will discuss the fundraising campaigns. And I think that's the strong part of my view. I would like to make bear a modern website for the campaigns because that's the view, the idea that we have more access to websites is maybe generous, more than just the campaign idea. Some of the categories that we can send to people who don't like to take the campaign, we weren't able to do that during because of the timing. And that is for, under the management of your campaign, it starts to work like two, already so we can get more success of the campaign. And you are just on our page, and I think that was our part. Thank you. Thank you. I was live because I just spent, and I was giving you a stop a couple of hours ago. So, we have five cases that I can talk about in public because they took place in public, either on lists, FACTAIR or PubZilla. We had a conflict between the release manager and the promo team, and that is over. So this is from newest oldest. We had problems between the DDG and the Quinn maintainer in public. That had better outcome. There was some soul searching on all sides, and Tomas spoke and listened to some people, and I think things are good. We had a case that was a little odd. A maintainer brought it to us. However, we found that the maintainer was the one who had been rude to the bug reporter, and that is over. We had a death in the community, which is sad. Marco Keating has died, and cis and men disabled the account. I personally think we ought to send apart or something to the family, if that's known. The year began last year with a huge discussion about PD chat solutions. IRC, Matrix, Rocket Chat, other solutions, and there was lots of discussion. It was mostly friendly, and it was ongoing. So I don't believe we've come to any solution there, although I think people are still using telegram and are increasingly using Matrix. So, any questions? There will be more in the meeting with things that we can't talk about in the public. We need power. I think we need more people to talk to us. I was willing to meet in person at Sprints and other meetings. I don't know that we've had something so serious that one of us would have to fly somewhere, but say something, sir. I mean, we'll talk via, I don't know, something free, face-to-face, or non-free, if that's all you need. That's okay. It's sometimes very intimidating for people to talk to, somebody that they see as in power. I don't see myself as in power. I see myself as more of a listening ear and able to take things into consideration. I believe my fellow team members feel the same way. I think the community is, well, from when I first came in, was right after a major fork. Things have definitely gotten better. But that doesn't mean that even people who are friendly with each other also have conflicts. And sometimes, when you're in a community, you don't know what to do. You don't know what to do. People who are friendly with each other also have conflicts. And sometimes they may not have the tools to come to an agreement. And sometimes they're so invested in the issue that they don't see that their own conduct is a problem. That actually is really common. Because humans are humans. I think I'm out of time. Talk to me privately. I have one last one. So you pointed out the choice of communication and departments on several, especially at the beginning of the year. And this is not a problem in any place or any company, there's several methods. I think the only solution right now, the hard solution, is we need someone that's wanting to include or that doesn't. I don't believe wanting to start in everyone's eyes. It wasn't that. Can you have at least some amount of point at this one solution? Are you talking about the chat solution? Yes. Well, I'm not going to choose it. I don't know who could be the person to choose that. But I'm out of time, so thanks very much. Thanks very much. The next report is for the financial working group that uses a whole group. Who is your make-up? Yeah. Working group. So we are talking about money here. And the financial working group is a particular one. We can start from who is in there. David, we have you on the slide. Because this group is special, the financial working group are dealing with delicate things, not as delicate as the community working group. But still. And they require special confidence from the membership. So they have voted in for two years, we have elections coming this year for renewing membership of new mothers. And then, those are the official goals and missions of the financial working group. To say it the same thing, it's to support the Treasury with the level of KDE and the finances. That's somewhere under that. The working group is advisory, is not forcing anything on the Treasury or on the Board. It's helping, advising. It was at this time. And then, I will pass it to David. So I want to talk a little bit about how financial planning for the EEB actually works. And the commonstone of that is the budget plan that we made in the early year. So actually, I'm going to go to this slide. The process for all budget planning tends to start in the last quarter of every year. It starts when the KDE Board meets for their fall meeting and there's a discussion about what we expect to actually include it in the budget plan and what it should go by and it goes through the different positions of the budget plan as it will be viewed at home. And the changes we expect, the trends that we sort of speculate and the goals we want to set. And after that discussion, the Treasury is responsible for the warm-up of the first job, which then subsequently gets reviewed by both the Board and the Financial Board here and gets integrated over a number of weeks based on input from various people and then eventually released to the KDEB membership, which may have additional input and sometimes some of the affinities are based on that. So what is in the budget plan? The budget lists our income and also our expenses and has line items for the different income sources that we have. For example, various management pieces that generate those individuals or corporate support members on expenses. By the way, this year, we are very lucky to have a report number of sponsors for the KDEB and thank you very much for that. And of course, individuals who drive by donations through the various forms of donations that we set. The numbers in the budget plan we draw a lot based on the performance of the previous year and how things evolve. And we try to predict the income we see in the next year. In some of the income line items, versus the different way, where instead of predicting the income, we set a goal for what kind of income we want to achieve, specifically with our fundraising activities. And based on that goal, we are not deciding whether to run certain campaigns or what form they should take. This sort of has an element of public relations management to it. And I will get into that a little bit more with the complete example of the 2018 bad man. Now, the budget plan also includes our plan expenses. The plan's expenses map very sort of neatly to KDEB's support activities to the community. It includes the events we have organized and fund those paid organizations to some extent and the materials we did for that. But the line shares have their travel support for community members to attend those events. We have a number of employees. It's an organization. They also expect to get paid. So that shows up there. Infrastructure, like our service and office materials. And finally, administration. For example, pay hall taxes and our phone bill. Now, let's take a look at the 2018 budget plan which at this point is a good half year old. So one thing that we saw in the previous year is that we see sort of a trend shift in our income where our supporting memberships both from individuals, we are a series here but also corporate sponsors. It's exceeding the income that we have from regular donations and fundraising. So both the income from individuals supporting membership and a corporate sponsor membership is up. Since that is the case we decided to be a little less aggressive on running fundraising campaigns. We don't want the PDE to appear to be too needy and we don't want to go to the level too often. And since we are in a comfortable position where our supporting membership income is on the way up we decided to set our fundraising goal via campaigns a bit lower. Then another income source is Google Summer Growth. It's quite interesting to mention that the other plan also has a section on risks and uncertainties. Google Summer Growth was among those as Google has decided to occasionally rotate some long-standing, long-participating organizations out of Summer Growth so there was a certain risk that we might actually not be in Summer Growth this year. It would be very hard to be able to do it again but this was a risk that we had to plan for and be able to mitigate. All right, that was our class. Expenses, again, our spread expenses which were to be up this year we had one more plan was for this and the second one was for the PDE Go program. The PDE is a little more expensive this year than the previous year which is by no means a bad thing since we expect high attendance. The location is a bit more expensive but the location may be the reason for high attendance so again, that's certainly the bad thing because it's something that the PDE is practicing now. However, the details of how that number has constructed have changed a bit but it's mostly what we're seeing. The PDE moved to New York which costs a lot of money. Our tax account service was very expensive and unfortunately it also showed a very large remaining one-time tax code for PDE Go. Now, I'm not sure how to respond to PDE Go because it's very expensive in the other expectations so the more expensive location the more there is a good time to invest in. Supporting memberships as PDE Go is more reliable and it's a reasonable problem that PDE Go is exploitative but as much as they should because we still have problems with the CDCR and it fits. Rounder did not happen. It was coming from another family that made it funded Kevin is holding up a sign. So, grass with Academy all over the place if you're a North Academy, stay warm and good. Also stay warm and good. Yes. This would have talked a little bit about how we got to find information but I guess we've chance to talk about this during the waterfront already so you may skip it and mark that if you want to respond to the next. Do you have questions? We'll take one for Robin. So, I have one question and a short one because you weren't on time. One question? Alright. The next report is what we are and what we do. So, the advisory board is basically a formalization of KDE's alliances both in the commercial and the non-commercial open source ecosystem and the advisory board working group consists of contact persons for each member of this advisory board. We did this so that the advisory board members would be able to that the advisory board members wouldn't always have to come to the whole advisory board with every question that they had or every input that they wanted to give but that every organization had their own specific contact and that each member of the group is responsible for one advisory board members where they are open for input and questions and also getting them in touch with parts of the community for example if someone has a specific question about a specific project application then their contact can get them in touch directly. Current members are Alex, David, Eike, Helio, Kai, Uwe, Lydia, Sebastian, Cornelius, Thomas and me. Yeah. What have we done over the past year? We have five advisory board calls which is always on the advisory board members and the contacts. It's usually not everyone can make it to the same time because some of the advisory board members do what they're doing within their work time, others do it within their free time so we are alternating times between afternoon and evenings so that everyone has a chance to come at least to every second meeting so we have two new members to the advisory board Private Internet Access and Debian and currently one of the things that we've done was coordinating a letter calling on politicians to accept all free software repositories from requirements to scanning filters so this is maybe you've heard about this the new EU copyright directive and one of the articles in it is a team as everyone who hosts anything where users can upload things, has to filter them for any potential copyright infringement and this would be pretty hurtful for open source communities because we don't have the staff or the technology to do this kind of filtering and we also don't want to do that so we have partnered with several of our partner organizations within the advisory board to draft and sign a letter together to politicians to make an exception for all of open source and free software some lessons learned so we have tried to figure out a good schedule for the advisory board calls we tried to do them every two months and we realized that we didn't really have enough interesting topics to make every call worthwhile and realized that people seemed less and less motivated to attend every call so we went back to a four month schedule and hoping that we will now have enough topics to really make those interesting and one positive thing that we've learned was that we were actually surprised by the impact that the news of Debian joining the advisory board actually had in the free software ecosystem with users with people on forums on Reddit with news outlets about Linux and open source so for us Debian joining the advisory board was more or less yeah we like each other we have different missions and it was just coming natural to us that Debian should be on our advisory board but for the world outside of us it was really big news was what is happening, what will this mean will Debian now switch to Plasma as default desktop that was pretty interesting it showed that just being on the advisory board actually means something not only for us but also for the outside world where we need help we're currently trying to find more closely what the advisory board should do and also what the advisory board working groups should do if anybody has any input on what could make the advisory board really useful then we're happy for it our key goals and plans as I said we want to define more closely the duties of an advisory board contact so that people really know what's expected from them we also want to do more of these joint initiatives and actions like with the letter to the politicians but that was the only big thing that we did and we think that there's still a lot more potential and of course you want to grow the advisory board further so also if anybody has ideas for organizations that should join the advisory board then we're also happy for that you can reach us under this email address one question one of the discussions that we had was that Sousa came to us saying that our their schedules of updates don't really match with our schedules and also that we didn't have any long-time support long-term support but I think long-time support long-term support version for Plasma so Sousa always had to decide what Plasma version they should include in their releases and then what to do because we wouldn't Plasma only had 6 month support schedule so they had the problem that they always had to backport fixes from later Plasma versions so we tried to find a solution at the Plasma LTS and that's definitely what came out of this now we have two additional last so the last report from our working group and you can try it we've basically all the infrastructure on the roadside do you think we would like to the community infrastructure in the future of this our systems delivered 9 terabytes of data of the month of July some of that was due to our partners Cd and Cd7 but the massive metric I think in the standard here is that about 1 terabyte of data was just normal really low clip-side content images, HTML when I saw that figure I actually had to read it because that didn't let me we hosted over 125 gigabytes of get-insert version repositories accumulated since the beginning of ADE and that continues to grow and that's not going to start from HTML and that HTML service delivers over half a million emails every single week and on some days it can top over 100,000 so that actually required working with email providers in some instances can't just start delivering that much email because you will get blocked in terms of in the good moment there's myself Nick from the channel here and Jeff Mitchell-Souls after some other things and of course there are other people who look after various services throughout our systems who are kind of also part of Cd7 so we are going to talk about the accomplishes here the kind of big hallmark the binary factory which the system pumps out the windows doors the macOS DMGs and Android APIs for small handcraft applications that have Android to boot that's not a simple of a challenge you have to get a lot of tools and make that work in the case of windows if you don't sign the binaries the many instances windows will throw at you so we can get a sign so we have a lot of work done there and it looks like there are a lot of various improvements to the CIS system we got rid of our floor images we retired a bunch of because it's now actually Jupyter and learned support as a result is now a lot of our services because of the that was really fantastic with helping us maintain those images to get new software as it's needed and that's being handled in the new hallmark in terms of new build posts thanks to the board for proving those changes they replaced the existing ones and sped up build build timers and some of their services you're looking at build and timers proven by the fixing them on and we're going to rework how our windows build posts are set up so that kind of makes things more flexible it means that we needed to we needed to use 32 bit or 64 bit build specifically with huge I mean we need to consider some hardware and so on and so forth we also got rid of some services that were thrown way out being used in the local service was one of the reasons why the editor has shut down quite a bit is because it still lasts for plenty of time which is really good so it comes at the end of the time and it's like this has to go sorry we also discontinued our model our computers and we set the mirror at the end to shut down and then we decided to put in the distance on the key because no one really used the distance on distance on it and it was also a couple of all that we decided to put it on the key so we shut it down as well but after I set the key we don't even need to do the funding but you can't change the map we also closed with the default because in my opinion it's in terms of email services that was a problem so I'm not really able to change the menu here we closed with the default because we used in the sari rule set so we got rid of that so we reviewed all it's a much larger balance and we took out a lot of old scoring and the rest of it we get a few minutes of years and as a result I don't want to fix the maintenance as I'm all right we've been in this garden for weeks and now it's all so that's basically a reason for don't even want to say this is what I want you to do when the email wasn't signed by me and it's not that it doesn't come from a server that I see as I see the new email that's quite important for the payback of asking emails to those so that's really good on email services we want to pay by journey they don't just try to do that in the sari rule and in terms of all that we switch to the wall backup actually the wall backup use the wall backup compressors and drip zips and de-drip vets so that's what we want to base we as part of the on-board setup people wear a mouthful of Zara and we set it up in relation to the binary vector as well as we have the inputs they can ask the wall to the generation see what's they're doing what's they're doing suddenly and we move the in-house colors to the dps system which is not right on the same system so there's four other factors we also help with the energy rough or the cross quality as part of the call introduction of dps in terms of our home products we do have a facility all of it has come to the end of its lifetime there's just some of 55,000 accounts in there and there's a consequence it's not on the scale if you're trying to create an accounting amount it's a fairly easy one and we test it's capability and it's in time and it's in high quality but it's not how it's made we also help with the introduction of the wall backup and the format can be able to use ci so we know how to attach to ci this builds, this doesn't maybe it's just a and we also we do a review of the normal energy at the moment you know it's a new treasure of all three we can say two minutes is short or one short and if you delete your call to three it will just get one around but it won't just get in the other one but we might be able to get it to the category so you can just push and we'll create a review or update it I'm going to put a video about all that in order to see how it works how can we communicate with this how can we create a door that's part of the job it's not too scary but just in terms of the time it can be useful when I create a group of people sometimes working on that it can be both a lot of other entities it's a perfect idea we'll be able to send it here to the UK in the next couple of weeks it will be also important that's actually solved it's being moved from sending it off to the UK it's sending it to the UK it's sending it to the UK it's sending it to the UK it's sending it to the UK I don't know why that's being done we can take this to the UK I'm curious how has the system the team of Royal and Toronto and I used to see you helping out do you feel like that you're making a lot of of the community work on with the system it's becoming a digital product it requires a lot of trust dealing with the canons the inter-distribution between the big computers the system can say that we're on this stage it's hard to hear do you need to go on with something that's not too easy in some cases the problems with those aren't easy ones so you actually need to be pretty prepared to start solving one of the problem solving this hard problem whether it's solving or not just like someone might actually need to do a business how can we see that there's a problem but I think that Royal has a problem with that it's not very normal do you have a last few more for the KD3 creation just a second KD3 creation is something that is a foundation that has the creative to secure the availability of the Q2 for the development of free software in particular for the development of KD3 software so it's a giant foundation two people from the KD side two from the QCompany side and we have a little contract that ensures that Qt stays free software the cover platforms are desktop limits and Android Microsoft Windows Microsoft Windows Phone Apple MacOS and Apple Apple IOS and it includes all parts of Q everything there the free software more specifically mostly the LGPL KD3 and also under the GPL version 2.0 later it ensures that it's comfortable with a wider range of free software and for some other modules it's at least the GPL version 3 for example some new modules have a dependency to have a patchy license which is just not countable with GPL version 2 for us we're preparing the part and we're all being re-licensed by now so we have a clean situation not covered by other platforms like in battle 2.0 X those are anyway the main Q licenses and on top of that QCompany has the right of additional product that are developed and not included in the contracts but also based on whether it's a new 3D design a UI design tool that has been released under the GPL version 3 was called originally comes with an MDM so QCompany involved a lot of other plans for QN6 with the two long term support releases before that in order QCompany 18 QCompany Q2.5.12 and then spring QN2.20 QCompany Q5.14 with that QCompany Q6.0 in order QN2.20 as a clean algorithm removing code that's the case in QCompany Q2.15 now removing code doesn't mean just drawing things that are already new the QCompany in the form of the foundation form has said that currently we have no plans for functionality in QCompany 6 of course APIs can be changed or replaced but functionality will be there a proper yeah, so I don't know if those are advancements or refactoring to different or whatever conditions as before as shown in our contracts now if the developer community of QCompany of QCompany of QCompany of QCompany of QCompany of QCompany of QCompany of QCompany of QCompany of QCompany of QCompany QCompany We had a lot of meeting on Tuesday night, and we had a group of 90 people came. Also, there were many other projects in the back of the evening, for what was visible from your interview going forward.
