Our beloved “desktop environment” is in its “teenage” years and have undergone a great number changes ever since its conception as a GUI for Unix/Linux 15 years ago to an international community, a strong development platform, beautiful workspaces, and feature-rich applications.. I’m sure it has touched and changed the lives of many people all over the world, some in small ways, others in dramatic ways. But KDE isn’t just a name, or a “thing” that we anthromorphized to greet today. It’s a living and thriving community of people who worked together to make things happen. And so:
- To the developers who put in their hard work and time on making the software rock our world …
- To the artists and designers who shared their vision and talent into creating a stunningly beautiful and usable masterpiece …
- To the translators and documentation writers who labored to deliver a humane product …
- To the bug hunters, triagers, and fixers who painstakingly ensured the quality of what we distribute …
- And to the global community of users, our beta testers, stress testers, our supporters and fans, who used, loved, and gave feedback on the software …
a huge
THANK YOU
