| 00:00.03 | valorie | that's when you learn to do command in the status tab |
| 00:00.06 | valorie | lol |
| 00:00.25 | achillion | \join #sillybiscuits |
| 00:00.27 | achillion | ohno! |
| 00:00.43 | achillion | ... now I wanna know if that channel exists |
| 00:01.22 | achillion | it doesn't |
| 00:01.27 | RayCaringal | Shame |
| 00:07.52 | achillion | so FOSDEM anyone? |
| 00:08.18 | RayCaringal | FOSDEM? |
| 00:08.45 | achillion | Open source developer conference. This weekend. |
| 00:08.46 | valorie | the KDE community will be there |
| 00:08.50 | valorie | I won't |
| 00:09.04 | achillion | valorie: do you have new t-shirts? :) |
| 00:09.23 | valorie | hmmm, can't recall talk of tshirts |
| 00:09.28 | valorie | stickers for sure |
| 00:09.45 | valorie | someone tweeted a picture of boxes of 'em |
| 00:09.49 | valorie | lol |
| 00:09.52 | RayCaringal | Ah, the one in brussels? Or is that something different |
| 00:09.58 | achillion | RayCaringal: that's the one |
| 00:10.02 | valorie | brussels, yes |
| 00:10.10 | valorie | hope the weather isn't a hindrance |
| 00:10.12 | RayCaringal | I see, that's too far away |
| 00:10.14 | valorie | I guess it's snowing |
| 00:10.22 | gevaerts | it might snow a bit |
| 00:10.27 | valorie | enough to make train travel difficult |
| 00:10.35 | gevaerts | I doubt it |
| 00:10.46 | valorie | https://dot.kde.org/2019/01/30/come-home-kde-fosdem-2019 |
| 00:11.25 | RayCaringal | It snowed crazy hard where I am yesterday for like 2 minutes |
| 00:11.43 | RayCaringal | And then all of a sudden just stopped |
| 00:12.45 | achillion | Last year, at the KDE booth, one of the community managers was a classmate from primary school I hadn't seen in like 20 years |
| 00:12.52 | achillion | was a bit surreal |
| 00:13.05 | valorie | that's awesome! |
| 00:13.09 | valorie | which person? |
| 00:13.16 | achillion | Neophytos |
| 00:13.22 | RayCaringal | Surprised you remember him |
| 00:13.29 | RayCaringal | I can barely remember people I knew 5 years ago sometimes |
| 00:13.33 | valorie | ah, I think we've met, but don't really know him |
| 00:14.03 | achillion | RayCaringal: He recognised me first, to be fair :) |
| 00:14.17 | RayCaringal | That's how it usually is for me |
| 00:14.21 | valorie | however, I'm impressed by how he's just stepped up and made himself valuable in a short time |
| 00:14.55 | RayCaringal | A few months ago one of the underclassmen I worked with in my High School came up to me at a bus stop |
| 00:14.59 | achillion | valorie: he seems to be very active and very into it |
| 00:14.59 | RayCaringal | I completely forgot who they were though |
| 00:16.33 | achillion | valorie: though it's often hard to follow all the things happening around KDE and the community |
| 00:16.58 | valorie | achillion: right, he saw a need, and stepped up to identify how we could improve onboarding newcomers |
| 00:17.16 | valorie | it's hard for me, and that's basically my job |
| 00:17.19 | valorie | lol |
| 00:17.23 | achillion | hehe |
| 00:17.34 | valorie | we are an anarchist collective, basically |
| 00:17.48 | achillion | seems to be working for the most part |
| 00:17.55 | valorie | yup |
| 00:18.12 | achillion | Are there attempts to change it or are you embracing it? |
| 00:22.27 | valorie | we're evolving along with everyone else |
| 00:23.18 | valorie | we're agreeing to things like a mission statement, and agreeing to focus on a few big issues for a few years |
| 00:23.33 | valorie | such as privacy, and improving onboarding |
| 00:23.51 | achillion | oh, cool. Sounds like there's interesting things coming. |
| 00:23.52 | valorie | but that doesn't mean that all parts of KDE work on these issues still |
| 00:24.19 | valorie | some of them, like the various game teams, are just doing their own thing |
| 00:24.44 | valorie | but year, our yearly meeting is just getting better and better, IMO |
| 00:25.14 | valorie | instead of just hacking and drinking together |
| 00:25.39 | valorie | a lot of dialog and larger conversations about moving into the future |
| 00:26.11 | achillion | Uphill battle, getting people to stop drinking and hacking, I imagine :) |
| 00:26.38 | achillion | But it's nice to hear there's some coordination happening. |
| 00:39.55 | valorie | everyone still hacks |
| 00:40.35 | valorie | but the intense conversations are happening within the teams |
| 00:40.58 | valorie | and everyone knows that sprints are always available at other times |
| 00:41.15 | valorie | I'm sure plenty of drinking still happens, lol |
| 00:41.34 | valorie | too |
