I had a remote "help me" session using #nextcloud talk. If you need to remotely help a non-tech person it's really good option - no installation or configuration is required on the "non-tech" side. Just click the link and allow to share screen. I had voice communication over #jami, but nextcloud talk does ithat as well.

RIP John Conway

@kde #PlasmaMobile virtual sprint concludes. Thanks everyone for attending! 💙💙💙💙

We will be publishing the recording for training session later after post-processing.

Now that we put some more groundwork into #phosh we can start to experiment with gestures in the compositor. It's just a hack so far to see if we're moving in the right direction:

Privacy and protecting data is usually not much of a concern for SAAS providers - Zoom here shares your data on Facebook, even if you don't have a facebook account...

I've just finished a set of screencasts on the Desktop Publishing tool Scribus for my students.

The program has come quite a long way since I last used it, it is really great to have a strong #FLOSS canvas #layout alternative.

If anything, the #covid19 lockdown has been a great opportunity to showcase free and libre open source software alternatives to my students and collegues.

Can post links when transcoding is finished, if there is any interest.

Albert #Uderzo left us today... "Astérix" was certainly the first comic I read and his generous curved drawing style had a big impact on my way to draw. Rest in peace.
