Hehe don’t worry.

Sorry, I didn’t mean to be offensive.

I like the diagram very much, and I wonder what tool is used to create it.

Thanks!

@Maniacmusician there was some effort to find out but it is just too hard to get all the data and keep it updated

@Dimitar I know and honestly don’t think it matters here

Great chart! Only one note: don’t use JPEG for diagrams, because it’s lossy and introduces artifacts; PNG is lossless and will actually make the size of the image smaller. Sorry for being fussy Keep the great job!!!

Cool, very exciting. Something I was trying to find; do we have any sort of updated statistic about our retention rate for GSoC students? By retention I mean the percentage that stick around to continue development on KDE after GSoC. I think I remember reading about such a number sometime last year, but I haven’t been able to find it.

Wow, this is awesome, and I thought KDE’s GSoC organization of last year was already great. You keep to amaze me

Congrats. What program did you use to create the chart?

great to hear it is useful. And you’re not the only one uncertain all the time about timelines and stuff. That’s why we did it.
