@boredsquirrel @kde 1. While some devs (like me) works on both Kontact and Merkuro devs, other are only working on one of them. I don't see Kontact disappearing anytime soon.

2. CalDAV is definitively supported

3. Journals works in KOrganizer. It's quite unlikely I will add that to Merkuro mail any time soon as I have no real use for them and I don't want to makes the UI more complex.

@Strit @leopold It takes a lot of time to port to KF6 and it is good that a release sooner than later even if it is still based on KF5.

@blackfire @thisweekinkde kubuntu 24.04 won't include plasma 6 but a not so well maintained plasma 5 session unfortunately

@Corb_The_Lesser @kde @kde@lemmy.kde.social yeah the new wizard had to be completely rewritten for Qt6 and still requires a bit of work and testing with various email providers. 😔

@kellyaster @Bro666 Pretty hungry but I'm cooking a ratatouille right now to fix this issue :)

@shaan7 @kde @kde@lemmy.kde.social You go to Fosdem or the next Akademy, and you buy one :)

@Bro666 No it will be in building H this year, next to gnome, mastodon and mozilla

@parens @troyunrau Exactly, it took me 5 years from my first contribution to finally getting hired full time to work on some KDE and KDE related open source code. And I'm very prolific in term of contributions (https://invent.kde.org/carlschwan).

It's quite an issue to get money, the current budget KDE e.V. has is around 200 000€ a year and that pays for a few part time employees. I'm lucky that I found a company interested in developing a commercial open source project based on KDE (gnupg/g10 code).

@cameronbosch @kde Some of this changes are likely to be included in Plasma 6.1 in Breeze, but some will probably stay in this fork for now.

@RyunoKi @kde @kde@lemmy.kde.social it's all optional and you need to go out of your way to configure it. Also it is used for actual useful stuff like translation and is fully offline.

@iHUNTcriminals @kde Around every 7 to 9 years. The last one was in June 2014

@Kalcifer we use gitlab community edition which is completely open. Gitlab offered us a free ultimate subscription but we decided to keep using the 100% open source version instead.
