On Oct 14th 1996, Matthias Ettrich, a student in Germany, posted to Usenet asking for help build a real desktop for Linux. That post led to the creation of KDE, one of the most impactful free software communities in the world. Catch the trailer for our documentary about KDE on Saturday 19th.

More on KDE's fight for #efficiency: We have driven down the number of unconfirmed #bug reports to its lowest levels in over a decade and are managing to keep it there.

Help us improve that number further:
