Come dine with the KDE e.V. board in Berlin in October!
As has become tradition in recent years, the KDE e.V. board will have an open dinner alongside its in-person meeting in Berlin, Germany on October 14th, at 7 PM.
We know there will be a lot of cool people in town next month, thanks to a KDE Edu development sprint, Qt World Summit, the GNOME Foundation hackfest and probably other events, and you're all invited to drop by and have a chat with us and amongst yourselves - and enjoy good food.

Running applications and unittests without "make install"
In our Akademy presentation, Kévin and I showed the importance for a better developer story to be able to work on a KDE module without having to install it. Running unittests and running applications without installing the module at all is possible, it turns out, it just needs a bit of effort to set things up correctly.
