[06:52] schestowitz[06:52] schestowitzThe KDE 6 mega-release is due in a little under three weeks! And folks have remained in diligent bugfixing-and-polishing mode, because we want this release to be as smooth and drama-free as possible! If you havent already tried it out, this is a good time to. Find all the bugs that are bugging you so we can hopefully fix them before the final release!
