  • Debian uploads, Core22 KDE snap content pack and more!

    I have been quite busy! I have been working on several projects so my cover image is a lovely sunset where I live.

    Debian:

    I have updated and uploaded several packages and working on more.

    • Umbrello
    • Squashfuse with the help of Scott Moser ( Thanks! )
    • libappimage
    • plasma-bigscreen WIP

    KDE Snaps:

    I have reworked the CI to now do Core22 snaps! They will publish to the beta channel until we get them tested. First snap completed is the ever important KDE Frameworks / QT content snap + SDK! Applications will start after I tackle the kde-neon extention in snapcraft.

    GUI-Testing:

    I have begun learning/writing some GUI tests using python and https://invent.kde.org/sdk/selenium-webdriver-at-spi/, inspired by one of my favorite people, Harald. See https://apachelog.wordpress.com/2022/12/14/selenium-at-spi-gui-testing/ for more info and I hope to get these in repos near you soon!

    In closing, I am still seeking employment/sponsor amidst this terrible layoff season. If anyone knows of anyone with my diverse skill set please let me know.

    In the meantime if you can spare anything to keep the lights on I would be ever so grateful.

  • Representing KDE @ Ubuntu Summit in Prague

    Representing KDE @ Ubuntu Summit in Prague

    First, I would like to send a big Thank you! to Canonical for sponsoring my trip to Prague for the Ubuntu Summit! It was a great success. I saw some great talks and valuable workshops. I now know how to snap our applications the have daemons and services thanks to the Snapping Daemons and Services workshop. Prague itself is an amazing city. Wow. Just wow. I got to see old friends and meet many new ones. I will take away some wonderful memories. Did I mention a river cruise? Yes! It was great fun.

    I did a lightning talk with Jonathon and a Snapping Desktop Applications workshop with Olivier. The talk was “lightning” fast! But good practice for my speech giving skills ( a challenge for a shy person such as myself!) The workshop was great presentations of different ways snaps are done for different projects. The audience was smaller than I had hoped ( it was the end of the summit and many folks were wrapping up to leave.) I still left with a feeling of accomplishment.

    This week I will apply my new found knowledge and push out some more snaps!
