change during KDE's evolution
KDE has gone through an impressive evolution of organizational, procedural and community related changes over its lifespan. What started out as a "in-our-spare-time" project became a critical component in many F/OSS operating systems.
As the various KDE projects grew, matured and in some cases retired the number of distinct teams and sub-communities grew in both number and diversity. An ever growing number of companies from small to large grew out of or joined the KDE community along the way. Our non-profit, KDE e.V., has gone through a similar evolution in complexity, transparency and professionalism.
Of course, success is often rewarded with challenges that spring up along the way, and the growth and rise of economic interests within and around KDE has brought with it new challenges for us to deal with. I have noticed three potential rift creators becoming more common and it would probably be good to discuss them openly as a community. By paying attention to these issues we can smooth off the rough edges and keep our unity intact for many more years to come.
