KDE's "This Week In Plasma" Will Become Less Frequent Without New Volunteers (www.phoronix.com)

The This Week In Plasma series written by KDE developer Nate Graham has been a great way to keep-up with all of the interesting KDE Plasma desktop developments over the past eight years. This Week In Plasma is regularly featured on Phoronix and always provides an interesting weekend look at the very newest innovations to land in Plasma. Unfortunately, This Week In Plasma will become less frequent or even go on hiatus without new volunteer contributors.

There was no This Week In Plasma edition this week and Nate Graham today put out a blog post explaining the situation. Long story short, due to work and family responsibilities, Nate has less time to invest in This Week In Plasma and thus is looking for new contributors to take over.

I really like it too but I want Nate to feel good, so this is fine.

I will volunteer.. do a fine job of screwing up and that drama will fuel new contributors to step up.

Edit: Actually only the devs know enough about KDE to do it right?

I really like This Week in Plasma. Makes me excited and grateful everytime there's a new post. A little something that warms my heart. I hope it will continue.
