People behind KDE/FreeBSD

The KDE/FreeBSD ports are maintained by a very loosely organized team of volunteers, which can be reached at the general e-mail address kde@FreeBSD.org. We are part of desktop@ as well. The team can be reached (most awake during European daylight hours) for IRC real-time chat on Libera.Chat as well: in #freebsd-desktop.

The maintainers

The maintainers deal with the day-to-day maintenance and longterm development of the KDE ports in the FreeBSD ports collection, handle problem reports in FreeBSD’s bug tracking system, provide technical support to end-users and work with the contributors below to keep KDE software (all of it) working on FreeBSD as smoothly as possible.

Alumni

Although they have since moved on to other projects, without the outstanding efforts of these people, there would be no KDE/FreeBSD as we know it today.
