Hat jemand von euch die KDE Office-Suite "Merkuro" (Mail, Kalender und Adressbuch) getestet? Erfrischend anderes und schlank. Ist zwar noch in einem frühen Entwicklungsstadium, aber es wird.

Catching Up These last few weeks have been pretty hectic due to me moving countries and such, so I have not had the time to write a blog post detailing my weekly progress, because of this I have decided to compress it all into a singular blog post talking about all the changes I have been working on and what I plan on doing in the future.\nThe NewMailNotifier Agent In the last blog post I wrote I talked about the progress that had been made in the newmailnotifier agent, and that in the following weeks I would finish implementing the changes and testing its funcionality. Well, it ended up taking quite a bit longer as I found that several other files had to also be moved to KMail from KDE-PIM Runtime, and these ones were being used in the runtime repo. The files I have found so far and that I have been looking into are:\n
Fancy!
#KDE #Merkuro, the new redesigned PIM suite (calendar, contacts, more) now supports #Etesync!
What is Etesync? People new to privacy may know providers like #Tuta, #Ente and our fellow #VibeCoder's at #Proton .
But syncing your calendar to a server works without relying on a locked down provider. You can either use your favourite Mail provider, but this means you trust them not to read your appointments, i.e. #selfCensorship as you dont save secret things in your calendar.

@Pabarino has published a blog post about his GSoC progress on removing the heavy QtWidgets dependency from Akonadi's background processes. Check it out!
Tackling the Migration Agent For week three, I finished resolving the configuration window issue for the EteSync resource by hiding the default configuration window and programmatically linking the wizard’s “Accepted” and “Rejected” states to the configuration window’s accept() and reject() methods. This ensured that the wizard cleanly replaced the built-in dialog without leaving a “zombie” window behind. I’ve submitted a merge request for these changes so it can be reviewed and integrated upstream.\n
Found this interesting #blog post on #calendar #software for #Linux:

Can't say I'm completely convinced by #Morgen, though... Not to mention that I'd prefer #OSS. Is there any calendar the #fediverse likes to use for Linux? #Merkuro seems to be updated regularly, but doesn't provide copy-paste or templates or something to easily create recurring appointments...
