I don't know what's up with the project page being gone, but the distro is not outdated. They are working on a version with KDE Plasma 5.
Maybe some people don't realize, how much they have contributed upstream. For the past couple of years I have worked with them as a volunteer in LibreOffice. They regularly host hackfests for Debian & LibreOffice.
There are certain parts of LibreOffice like the KDE UI backend and mail merge that they practically maintain by themselves. Recently they posted three job openings for full-time LibreOffice developers. They already have several inhouse + contractors (for LibO alone).
- wiz21c 10y agoI think they should report extensively on that to fight against the Accenture report. Not that the report is wrong, but if we want to switch to Linux everywhere, we'll have to fight on other grounds that practicality, robustness,etc. Could you ask these people to explain why they think investing in LibreOffice is worth it (and well, just remain silent if their experience is bad :-))
- buovjaga 10y agoI heard the IT crew was left out of all hearings regarding this new proposal. So it's just "la la la cannot hear you" -level professionalism on the part of the council members.
- keithpeter 10y agoAny .iso downloads available? Can't seem to find a site.
- buovjaga 10y agoI don't know what happened to it, sorry. Maybe I will ask the devs after next Wednesday, if the proposal is rejected..
- keithpeter 10y agoGood luck to them then
