KDE: Akademy, Wayland, and KDE PIM
-
Send you talks for Akademy 2023 *now*!
Call for proposal ends Thursday the 30th of March
There's still a few weeks, but time is really running out.
I'm sure there's lots of interesting things you have to talk about Qt, KDE, C++, Community Management or other million things so head over to https://akademy.kde.org/2023/cfp/ or over to https://conf.kde.org/event/5/abstracts/ if you want to skip the nicely worded page that encourages you to submit a talk :)

Did you know you can Meta+Ctrl+Scroll to zoom on Wayland?

January/February in KDE PIM
Here’s the usual bi-monthly update from KDE’s personal information management applications team. Since the last report 25 people contributed about 1300 code changes, focusing on bugfixes and infrastructure improvements for the 22.12 maintenance releases as well as preparing for the transition to Qt 6.
Upcoming KDE PIM Sprint
We’ll finally have an in-person sprint again, after the last one planned for April 2020 fell victim to the pandemic. The sprint will be held in Toulouse, on April 1st/2nd.
Qt 6 transition
With the first release on top of Qt 6 and KDE Frameworks 6 expected for later this year, a lot of work again went into preparing for that. Many parts are meanwhile working and usable in a Qt 6 build already. The install layout has also been adjusted to allow PIM components from both a Qt 5 and a Qt 6 to co-exist, which is especially relevant for the more widely used libraries.
