The This Week In Plasma series written by KDE developer Nate Graham has been a great way to keep-up with all of the interesting KDE Plasma desktop developments over the past eight years. This Week In Plasma is regularly featured on Phoronix and always provides an interesting weekend look at the very newest innovations to land in Plasma. Unfortunately, This Week In Plasma will become less frequent or even go on hiatus without new volunteer contributors.
There was no This Week In Plasma edition this week and Nate Graham today put out a blog post explaining the situation. Long story short, due to work and family responsibilities, Nate has less time to invest in This Week In Plasma and thus is looking for new contributors to take over.
Especially since becoming co-owner and CEO of the KDE consulting firm Techpaladin that is working with the likes of Valve, his time has been more pressed. Due to the Techpaladin workload, he doesn’t have the time anymore to dedicate into the weekly KDE Plasma development summaries.
For now he’s planning to punt off This Week In Plasma to every two or 3~4 weeks rather than weekly. But he’s hoping to find a person or team that wants to take over writing TWiP. Those wanting to learn more about the situation can do so via this blog post.
