Kdenlive Developer Jean-Baptiste Mardelle Is Missing

jones_supa writes "Kdenlive's project leader Jean-Baptiste Mardelle, who always used to let people know if he was going to be away for a couple of days, seems to have just disappeared. His last e-mail and blog post were in early July and they didn't suggest any problems. While there's many Kdenlive fans out there for the KDE-focused open-source video editor, it seems new development efforts around the project have ceased. Also the Kdenlive Git repository hasn't seen any new commits (aside from the automated l10n daemon script) since early July. There has been also people in KDE forums and Kdenlive developers' mailing list pondering about the status of the project, being left none the wiser."

    It somehow seems appropriate that a troll would respond to a post about a gnome.

    On a bigger topic, this is the kind of software that would really benefit from having far more contributors.

    There's dozens of open source video editors out there. For some reason the open source community values the quantity of choices over the quality of any one of them.

    Yes, and waterboarding a personeto death has been declared to be not torture.

    The reason to not torture is to not be subject to war crimes trials, as per the Geneva convention. Of course, if you are working for the world's leading superpower, youemay consider that those laws have no force.

    And they don't, until your country gets into one too many wars, and loses a war on its own soil.

    At that point, all those laws become applicable. Generally speaking, the really bigwigs will be hung. The upper eschelon below them will escape to other criminal run nations. The lower war-criminal grunts will be left holding the bag, and also will be hung. Occasionally, the lower grunts catch the escaping upper escelon, and kill them, themselves. It's kindof a game of rats on a sinking ship.

    I don't get this stupid Obama stuff. People act like he's the anti-christ or something and try to blame everything on him. I keep telling people that whine about him all the time to cheer up, it could be worse. If anything happens to him Joe Biden will be prez and then you'll fucking wish Obama was back. It's funny as hell when you see them get it. It can always be worse.

    Why not all at once? In fact, why not start with the one who still has the power to do great damage, and then 'clean up' with those who have done said great damage in the past?

    Oh I'm not praising President Obama. I don't like most of his choices but I try to keep things in perspective. The hysteria I hear makes it sound like he's the basis for everything wrong with this country. People loose their minds over this stuff. Hell, compared to Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden the man looks like a moderate.

    Well, when Obama came, he was treated as if he were the Messiah. Well, he turned out to be just a naughty guy. So what to do with your strong emotional investment? Well, turn it into its opposite: Now Obama clearly is the fallen angel, also known as devil. For the simple reason that he's not the Messiah.

    Yes, only we need to invent a time machine to get the worst ones before they do it. Waiting until the "other team" is in power then calling for a clean up demonstrates hypocracy.

    Prefix hypo~ usually means low or less, as in hypochlorite (less oxygen than chlorite) or hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Suffix ~cracy refers to rule or government, as in theocracy (rule by the religious).

    So are you talking about libertarianism here?
