Hi Paul,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Thanks for the update on KDE’s marketing profile
these days :-)
<div class="">I went with Ivan’s suggestion as the recording was
yesterday afternoon, but now I know what to say in the future!</div>
<div class=""><br class="">

<div class="">Any progress on the blog?</div>
<div class=""><br class="">

<div class="">Do you need anything from me?</div>

<br class="">
Hello Frances,<br class="">
<br class="">
Sorry for not answering earlier. My email borked and I
just got it back.<br class="">
<br class="">
<blockquote type="cite" class="">An unrelated
question: I’m writing a very short intro for our
Kalle<br class="">
Dalheimer and Ivan Čukić for a C++ audience and want
to mention their<br class="">
involvement in KDE. Is it accurate/ok to describe
KDE like this (NOTE this<br class="">
is already longer than I need it to be, and the
audience may not even have<br class="">
heard of KDE):<br class="">
<br class="">
"KDE, the free/open source, graphical environment
project".<br class="">
</blockquote>
<br class="">
KDE used to be a synonym of that, but not anymore. KDE
now describes the <br class="">
community. And the community creates KDE the software,
which is not only the <br class="">
graphical desktop environment (which is now known as
"Plasma").<br class="">
<br class="">
KDE does develop Plasma, the desktop, correct, but
also a bunch of popular <br class="">
apps, like Krita for digital artists; Kdenlive for
video editors; Kdevelop for <br class="">
developers; Okular for reading, annotating and signing
documents (like PDFs); <br class="">
LabPlot for data analysts; a full-featured web browser
called Falkon; an <br class="">
educational suite of activities for kids from 2 to 10
called GCompris; Kontact <br class="">
for managing email, calendars, contacts, etc.; ... It
is a very long list!<br class="">
<br class="">
KDE also produces frameworks that facilitate
development. Probably the most <br class="">
popular of which right now is Kirigami, that helps
developers create software <br class="">
that works on all kinds of devices, like computers,
mobiles, TVs, car <br class="">
infotainment systems, etc. But Kirigami is not the
only framework either, but <br class="">
Ivan will be able to fill you in better than me.<br class="">
<br class="">
<blockquote type="cite" class="">I wanted to emphasise
the breadth of what KDE offers (not just desktop).
If<br class="">
you have something punchy and SHORT that’s better,
I’d be very grateful.<br class="">
SHORT NOTICE: I need it by this afternoon :-)<br class="">
</blockquote>
<br class="">
So, riffing off of Ivan's suggestion, maybe something
like:<br class="">
<br class="">
"KDE, the Community that produces the biggest free and
open source C++ <br class="">
projects, ..."<br class="">
<br class="">
or something like that?<br class="">
<br class="">
Hope that helps.<br class="">
<br class="">
Cheers<br class="">
<br class="">
Paul<br class="">
