Hello,

With reference to yesterdays C-meeting, I'd like to add a few lines.

Premise:
the English language for some not native people may make discussions a
bit hard to fully participate. In my own case I must admit that it's
very exhausting task although I do it with endless pleasure ;-)
Therefore often I read again the logs to be sure that I didn't miss
anything important.

With a more fresh mind I've found at least 3 point I'd like to add
here. Please forgive me to be boring :)))


1) It has been remarked that we lost around half of manpower.
Be it really a half, or around the half, it's undeniable. It's a very
important and overall topic so I'm going to send a separate email for
a possible discussion.


2) With all my love to Bero :) I'd like to know which KF5/Plasma5
distro he uses for doing what, to state that it works well.
I think that I can gather a list of issues, not blocker for Beta stage
but unacceptable for a stable release.
I don't know the exact data, but can anyone tell how many distro have
been officially released till now with Plasma5, and which ones?
Please attention: I mean KF5/Plasma5 -> without any other alternative choice!


3) By proposing to the users a "jump" to 3 without guarantee support
to 2014.2, are we not risking a loss of users even more big?
I guess I'm not alone, if I was put in front of this kind of choice,
without any guarantee that I'll have everything I have atm well
working and I need, personally I'd be tempted to look around for a new
reliable distro.
Users needing a SO for their work or for their important things, they
do *need* safety.


That said, I wish to thank Bero, Colin, and all the other nice guys
for trying and accomplish my request (request on behalf of OM 2014.2
current and next users).
I would like to thank Crisb too for his commitment and quick & precise
work on OM 2014.2 maintaining (as well as for his huge help on OM3)


Cheers,
