Happy holidays and a happy new year to all of you. I hope you get to spend it with people you love and care about. May the next year bring many exciting things and great opportunities.
The Amarok team will begin the new year with the release of Amarok 2.2.2 at the beginning of January and KDE will follow with KDE SC 4.4.0 in early February. Exciting times ahead …
The first (and only?) beta release “Tattoo” of Amarok 2.2.2 is out!
Check the release announcement for all the nice features in it like moodbar support and help us with testing and bug reporting and fixing.
Thanks to Sven I stumbled upon a rather cute and very well done Free movie/musical called Sita Sings The Blues. Excellent (greatest?) love and break-up story with great music and cats. Watch it! 
Please share links to other great Free (short-)movies in the comments.

2 weeks ago I asked people to help with getting our Junior Jobs list above 100. That worked out nicely. We’re at 140 right now and reached 148 at some point in the last week \o/ 200 in 2 weeks from now?
Keep adding Junior Jobs. As some people were unsure how to do it, here’s a screenshot:
Interested in getting involved in KDE by writing code? There are 140 bugs waiting for you
You were a mentor or student for Season of KDE this year? Please get in touch with me within the next week.
Thanks 
Lydia, who might be playing t-shirt fairy here
