Quoting: This Week in KDE Apps - KDE Blogs —
Welcome to a new issue of "This Week in KDE Apps"! Every week we cover as much as possible of what's happening in the world of KDE apps.
Due to FOSDEM happening next weekend, there won't be any "This Week in KDE Apps" post next week. If you are in Brussels during the event, the KDE team will be in building AW, next to our friends from GNOME. Come say hi, we will have some stickers and demo devices!
