<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Go Johannes!!<br><br></div>Also from my side, thank you everyone who have contributed to KPhotoalbum with various different ways so far - please keep doing so also in the future :)<br><br>So happy to see I made a good choice years ago when importing my archive to KPhotoAlbum & starting to tag images* - the KPA project is still alive after all these years and I believe it will never lead to a dead end with photo archive. It's c00l to be able to amaze family & friends with how easily I can find almost any of my photos with KPhotoAlbum - a task with 'stored in folders' method makes virtually impossible.<br></div><br><br></div>Risto<br><br></div>* - tagging images - A task far from complete.. and it will never be complete.. <br><div><div><div><br></div></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Apr 17, 2019 at 11:30 PM Johannes Zarl-Zierl <<a href="mailto:johannes@zarl-zierl.at">johannes@zarl-zierl.at</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Hello everybody!<br>
<br>
I have asked Jesper, as the last "official" maintainer, as well as my co-<br>
developers Tobias and Robert how they would like me taking the position of <br>
maintainer for KPhotoAlbum.<br>
<br>
In short: I'm glad to inform you that I am the new maintainer ;-)<br>
<br>
<br>
What does this mean?<br>
<br>
When Jesper laid down maintainership back in 2012[1], that position contained <br>
maintenance tasks (updating the website, creating releases, support) as <br>
well as being "the voice of KPhotoAlbum".<br>
<br>
Although there never was an official successor to Jesper, Jan and Miika took <br>
up the maintenance tasks, thus keeping the project alive. I did a single <br>
release myself, but since 2015, Tobias took over and now does all our releases <br>
and website maintenance.<br>
<br>
So that leaves me in the lucky position to have all the tedious work done by <br>
Tobias and I can focus on support and development :)<br>
<br>
<br>
So, what does this change?<br>
<br>
For now, not so much. Mostly When I talk to other KDE people, I can not call <br>
myself the maintainer for KPhotoAlbum, or the project lead. I also take the <br>
endorsement of my co-developers as a sign that they are confident that I lead <br>
the project in the right direction[2].<br>
<br>
In short: this helps me in being the lead developer and in speaking for the <br>
project.<br>
<br>
<br>
Speaking of which - I think this is a good time to speak for the KPhotoAlbum <br>
project:<br>
<br>
I'd like to thank everyone who helped make KPhotoAlbum what it is today. Thank <br>
you Jesper for starting us on this journey and for all the work you poured <br>
into it! Thanks to all previous and current contributors! Git log currently <br>
lists 65 committers, but that only grasps a small part of all people who <br>
contributed to KPhotoAlbum. A special thanks to all the translators who do an <br>
amazing job!<br>
Also, I would like to thank all people writing here on the mailing list (and <br>
occasionally in IRC or via personal email) - a community of users that <br>
actually want to use a KPhotoAlbum makes writing and improving it so much more <br>
fun :)<br>
<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Johannes<br>
