[13:32] https://www.gofundme.com/f/living-and-job-hunting-expenses-for-the-month?member=24668613 [13:33] Jonathan has asked if we can donate to that from kubuntu funds? [13:34] How much are we thinking? It doesn't seem like we need to make any purchases yet. [13:35] I am think of asking for funding for a true 4k monitot for the Kubuntu Focus [13:35] I am think of asking for funding for a true 4k monitotrfor the Kubuntu Focus [13:35] I am think of asking for funding for a true 4k monitor for the Kubuntu Focus [13:35] I am think of asking for funding for a true 4k monitor for the Kubuntu Focus I now have [13:35] Having 4K testing would be excellent personally. It would help with the manual to have someone else using one I think. [13:36] Just some good old tips and tricks for now. [13:36] @RikMills did we fork the Plasma Welcome yet to make something for Kubuntu? [13:37] It has not even cleared debian new yet. But mosltyy I think you do the customisation via config, not by forking (re @ahoneybun: @RikMills did we fork the Plasma Welcome yet to make something for Kubuntu?) [13:38] Mm I'll need to find time to read the docs then. [13:38] All of it I think :/ (re @ahoneybun: How much are we thinking? It doesn't seem like we need to make any purchases yet.) [13:39] Are we down to 2k then? [13:39] It has not even cleared debian new yet. But mostly I think you do the customisation via config, not by forking (re @ahoneybun: @RikMills did we fork the Plasma Welcome yet to make something for Kubuntu?) [13:39] 'Down to' means what is US speak? (re @ahoneybun: Are we down to 2k then?) [13:39] 'Down to' means what in US speak? (re @ahoneybun: Are we down to 2k then?) [13:40] How much is wanted? Or how much we have? [13:40] The 2nd one how much do we have left. [13:40] About £19K [13:41] Ah he is thinking of funding the whole 2k that she is asking for. [13:41] Or about. [13:41] Yeah [13:41] Also jesus I didn't know it was that much. [13:42] She's doing snap things so is there any packaging she does for Kubuntu or other work? [13:42] Like I want to help her as much as possible but I think we need to think of how it looks for Kubuntu as well. [13:42] No. She is doing a few KDE things debian side (re @ahoneybun: She's doing snap things so is there any packaging she does for Kubuntu or other work?) [13:43] I'm just thinking people donate to help Kubuntu so I'm trying to see how we can post about this that it helps Kubuntu you know? [13:43] Yes, this is very borderline to me [13:43] I will likely +0 [13:44] Yea it's a tough call [13:44] @Rick_Timmis @DarinMiller @Mamarok @Valoriez see the above discussion [13:45] We need to have a vote [13:46] On both requests but yours @RikMills gets a +1 from me [13:50] I wouldn't be going very expensive. 300-500 probably [13:50] Not some super wide curved monstrosity! 😆 [13:52] @RikMills did we promote the gofundme on our socials? [13:52] I think we can do that and maybe we'll match donations? [13:53] Not so far (re @ahoneybun: @RikMills did we promote the gofundme on our socials?) [13:54] I think we can do that at least for now until we have a vote. [13:54] It'll help the reach. [13:54] Ok [13:54] I can write something for it. [13:55] sure [13:57] Scarlett is an awesome community developer who helps out in various areas such as Debian, KDE Neon and Kubuntu. Please donate if you are able to to help keep the lights on and continue her amazing working while she is working on getting employment. [13:58] Rough draft or final if we like it. [14:08] Looks good to me [14:09] Sweet [17:07] Idea: Could we fund Scarlet with a contract of works, is there something that she could work on directly for Kubuntu that would be a direct benefit to the community ? [17:08] @RikMills Proposal to provide you a 4k monitor for testing and development is a +1 from me [17:19] that would be neat though we need to get a list of work for her to do. (re @Rick_Timmis: Idea: Could we fund Scarlet with a contract of works, is there something that she could work on directly for Kubuntu that would be a direct benefit to the community ?) [23:17] +1 on the monitor for me [23:17] and spreading the word on Scarlett's gofundme [23:18] giving her some contract work would be kool too [23:53] as long as it benefits Kubuntu I am OK with it, so yes on spreading the, word and yes, some specific Kubuntu project funding would be awesome. [23:53] How much is that 4k monitor she wants? [23:54] Mamarok: the monitor is me [23:55] Mamarok: Scarlet is the gofundme [23:57] ah OK, I misread the thread then [23:59] * RikMills says good night [23:59] so +1 on the monitor then from me, and yes, promote Scarlet's gofundme, she is a valuable community member [23:59] gn8 RikMills
