KDE Announces Partner Network

Posted by timothy on from the building-infrastructure dept.

jrepin writes "In the wake of the announcement of the first ever KDE powered tablet, quite a few interesting things are happening in the background. One of them is the formation of a professional Partner Network for devices such as the Vivaldi tablet. The Make Play Live Partner Program is designed to build and support a collaborative business and economic network. Members work together to provide comprehensive professional service and product offerings around Plasma Active and devices such as Vivaldi. Professional support options make it easier to convince potential parties, such as users, clients, customers and partners, bringing KDE software to a larger group of users. Nine organizations have already joined."

    January 29 The Spark Tablet was announced (later renamed to Vivaldi). Two months it was supposed to be on the market. Now, it's 2 months after that and it still isn't shipping...

    I want the tablet, but hell if I know when I'll be able to buy one.

    The first sentence seems pretty clear to me - it's a free software community. The section on organization says, "The financial and legal matters of KDE are handled by KDE e.V., which is a German non-profit organization, and help organizing the conferences and meetings of the community members." which also seems pretty clear.

    And there's more. There is a lot to the article but it doesn't seem too confusing to me.

    I'm a big KDE fan. I think they provide the best graphical desktop for linux, one of the better music players on any platform and I am a big fan of QT - specifically via PyQT and now PySide. I'm all for anything that keeps it all going.

    It's hard to believe that's how Micronians are made. Why don't we see it right now by having you both kiss one another?
