This weekend the KDE Sysadmins completed the migration of KDE git modules to our Gitlab-based source code management stack as discussed for months now, and recently posted to kde-cvs-announce as a final reminder.

Going to Akademy
Happy to participate in a tradition I’ve admired from afar but never been able to do myself… until this year. My tickets are bought, my passport is issued, and I’m going to Akademy! Hope to see you all there!

Debugging issues booting a PC in 2018
I figured out a solution to a hardware troubleshooting problem I’ve had going off and on for at least a couple of years.
