The KDE Community today launches the new KDE Forum. The new forum uses the bulletin board software MyBB offering users, developers and people interested in KDE a place to help each other, discuss KDE-related topics and exchange ideas. The KDE Forum complements KDE's UserBase, the home for KDE users as a valuable support resource.
In collaboration with KDE, the developers behind MyBB have decided to release their forum software under the terms of the GPL Version 3. Chris Boulton, project manager at the MyBB Group "The KDE forum guys have come to us with the wish to use our forum software. In this process, we needed to clear out our licensing, also to make it easier for the KDE community to leverage MyBB. As a result of that, we release the MyBB forum now under the terms of the GPL. This was very well-received by the community around MyBB" Entirely in the spirit of Free Software, the KDE Forum team has already contributed a number of plugins for MyBB, supporting the decision taken by the MyBB team.
Rob la Lau, initiator and administrator of the KDE Forum adds "We've chosen MyBB as it stands out head and shoulders above other candidates we have considered to adopt for the new KDE Forums. We know that a good piece of software makes a lot of difference to the user, after all we want to create a nice place for everybody to chat about KDE and related questions."
Sebastian Kügler, member of the KDE e.V. Board of Directors explains where the new KDE Forum fits into KDE communication infrastructure: "We've come to believe that mailinglist don't cut it for all users. KDE becoming increasingly widely used should also offer those that aren't familiar with the use of email for such discussions a place. The new KDE forum complements KDE's new end-user knowledge base Userbase that has been launched last month. At the same time, we're really happy to see that after our request the MyBB team has decided to release their forum software under the terms of the GPL."
