GCompris Video 3

Fri Mar 22 14:24:16 GMT 2024

Hello again, Paul,

My marketing department has been on my case for suggesting we let you distribute the videos we make with you through your own channels. It seems that, although a wider audience will find out about KDAB, we nonetheless lose the Youtube views, which is somehow worth more. Not being a fan of social media in any of its aspects, I barely understand this even now, but there you are. It seems ‘views’ is a form of currency, much like ‘likes’.

I hope you will nonetheless be able to persuade your colleagues in KDE it will be OK to link to the videos on Youtube and hope you can find a creative way round it for folks unable to access it.

There hasn't been a publication date announced yet, but I’m expecting April, and will keep you posted.

Have a good week end!

Frances
