KDE End of Year 2014 Fundraiser is over

Yesterday was the last day of the KDE End of Year 2014 Fundraiser.

I want to thank publicly the 788 donors that helped us raise over 22000 euro.

You all rock and rule!

Thanks to this money we'll be able to keep sponsoring developers to attend conferences and sprints to improve the software we all love and use.

Of course there's never enough money so we still greatly appreciate your donations at http://kde.org/donate or even better you can become a KDE Supporting Member.

KDE Randa Meetings 2014 Day 1

I wasn't planning on attending KDE Randa Meetings 2014 but last Wednesday I decided to, so bought some not so cheap plane and train tickets (don't worry, I payed from my own pocket) and here I am surrounded by awesome KDE hackers in the middle of the Swiss Alps.

I want to thank the more than 400 people that helped us fund KDE Randa Meetings 2014, you are awesome and directly responsible of improvements that are to come to millions of users in the world.

And remember we still need money to fund more sprints and stuff, so head over to our donations page and help us improve the world!

Web developer: Help KDE with a few hours of work

At KDE we're trying to get people to donate more (I hope I don't have to explain to this audience why), one of the ideas floating around is adding a small "impulse donate" button to kde.org similar to the one at http://www.videolan.org/ (only with euros and without a "why?" link for now)

I'm not a web devel by far (though have done my fair share of copy&pasting php, html and css for KDE and other personal projects) but I understand it should not be "that hard"™, it would be basically doing some modifications of the kde.org sources, the capacity framework and doing some reuse of the existing paypal donation page code.

Anyone up for the work? If so, please contact me!
