K3M

I had a great time at the meeting, there’s nothing like the intensity of a hackathon, and actual face-to-face discussion to make you super productive. Many thanks to KDE NL for organising the event, especially since we offered such amazing disorganisation in return!

For fun, here’s me, markey and muesli (left-to-right) in Amsterdam, and then at aKademy 2 years ago in Stutgart.

I picked on us three as there was the comparison shot. Overtime though we’ve been visited by more and more people, some submitted a patch or two then joined development more actively. Getting involved really is that easy. Send a patch, come to IRC, prove you cope with the sometimes obscure mxcl/oggb4mp3/sebr sense of humor and you’ll soon be being asked for your opinion on stuff.

Sebr mentioned that we have an excellent development team quite a few times at the meet, and it’s true. And may it long continue because we work well as a group and have each our own unique talents that when combined, keep the quality high.

That’s not to say we can’t improve, and we discussed among other things, what should be done to make code quality higher, while not lessening release rate, and how to keep exploring new features, without making amaroK unwelcoming to new (and old) users.
