I'm happy to announce the successful deployment of the new identity system<br>
in KDE, codename MyKDE. The new identity system is now available in<br>
<a href="https://my.kde.org" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://my.kde.org</a>. You should be able to login into the <a href="http://my.kde.org" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">my.kde.org</a> website<br>
with your normal KDE credential.<br>
<br>
For the moment, only the wikis are using MyKDE but in the comming months<br>
this should change with more and more services switching to MyKDE. I will<br>
let you all know of the progress of the migration.<br>
<br>
<br>
FAQ:<br>
====<br>
<br>
Why the move?<br>
-------------<br>
<br>
<a href="http://identity.kde.org" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">identity.kde.org</a> is using OpenLDAP for user management with a small PHP<br>
frontend allowing the account creation. And we had the following problems<br>
with it:<br>
<br>
* Account removal is hard, requiring significant manual intervention and<br>
effort (several hours work in some instances)<br>
* Account registration takes 30 seconds or more to complete, creating a poor<br>
user experience<br>
* Groups don't scale effectively<br>
* Anti-spam measures are too crude<br>
<br>
More on that in <a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/T8449" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://phabricator.kde.org/T8449</a><br>
<br>
Will my data be migrated?<br>
-------------------------<br>
<br>
Yes, your data are migrated just by login into MyKDE once. This will migrate<br>
all your group membership (KDE developer, Akademy Team, ...), personal<br>
data and password.<br>
<br>
For users who didn't log into MyKDE during the migration period. If you are<br>
a KDE developer or KDE e.V. member, your account will be imported as a<br>
disabled account and you will need to ask sysadmins to enabled it. For the<br>
rest of the users of <a href="http://identity.kde.org" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">identity.kde.org</a> who don't have a membership to groups,<br>
your account will be removed. We think this is the best solution because there<br>
is no need to store personal information that we don't need from users who<br>
don't use the system anymore. If you want to conserve your account (and<br>
username), please log at least once. We will send periodic emails reminding<br>
you of migrating your account.<br>
<br>
How do I register a new account in MyKDE?<br>
-----------------------------------------<br>
<br>
For the moment the possibility of registering a new account is disabled in<br>
MyKDE and the only possibility is to create an <a href="http://identity.kde.org" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">identity.kde.org</a> account and<br>
then migrate your account. This is due to the fact we don't want some<br>
accounts existing only in MyKDE. This will naturally change when we migrate<br>
fully to MyKDE.<br>
<br>
How to I collect a badge?<br>
-------------------------<br>
<br>
MyKDE has the possibility to grant badges to users. For the moment there is<br>
only one badge enabled: KDE developer. This badge is given to every KDE<br>
developer and is displayed on their public profile (if enabled). When the<br>
new Season of KDE website will be deployed, it will be also possible to have<br>
an SoK mentor and SoK mentee badge.<br>
<br>
I'm interested in ideas of new badges (and badge designs), so please let me<br>
know if you have a genius idea that doesn't gamify KDE contribution (e.g no made<br>
100/1000/10 000 commits badge).<br>
<br>
Note that you are in control of that badge get displayed.<br>
<br>
What is the public profile functionality?<br>
-----------------------------------------<br>
<br>
One of the new features of MyKDE is the possibility to have a public profile.<br>
This public profile is opt-in, so you need to explicitly enable it to make<br>
it work and it can display a small bio, your avatar, name, username, social<br>
network account, Liberapay account, and badges earned.<br>
<br>
This is for example how it looks for me: <a href="https://my.kde.org/user/carlschwan/" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://my.kde.org/user/carlschwan/</a><br>
<br>
Can I contribute to MyKDE?<br>
--------------------------<br>
<br>
Yes, the source code is hosted in <a href="https://invent.kde.org/websites/my-kde-org" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://invent.kde.org/websites/my-kde-org</a><br>
and all the deployment information can be found here:<br>
