       KDE Community Launches Web-based Bulletin Board Using MyBB=20

 The KDE Community today launches the new KDE Forum. The new forum uses the=
=20
bulletin board software MyBB offering users, developers and people interest=
ed=20
in KDE a place to help each other, discuss KDE-related topics and exchange=
=20
ideas. The KDE Forum complements KDE's UserBase, the home for KDE users as =
a=20
valuable support resource.=20

 In collaboration with KDE, the developers behind MyBB have decided to rele=
ase=20
their forum software under the terms of the GPL Version 3. Chris Boulton,=20
project manager at the MyBB Group "The KDE forum guys have come to us with =
the=20
wish to use their forum software. In this process, we needed to clear out o=
ur=20
licensing, also to make it easier for the KDE community to leverage MyBB. A=
s a=20
result of that, we release the MyBB forum now under the terms of the GPL. T=
his=20
was very well-received by the community around MyBB" Entirely in the spirit=
 of=20
=46ree Software, the KDE Forum team has already contributed a number of plu=
gins=20
for MyBB, supporting the decision taken by the MyBB team.
 Rob la Lau, adds "We've chosen MyBB as it stands out head and shoulders ab=
ove=20
other candidates we have considered to adopt for the new KDE Forums. We kno=
w=20
that a good piece of software makes a lot of difference to the user, after =
all=20
we want to create a nice place for everybody to chat about KDE and related=
=20
questions."=20

 Sebastian K=C3=BCgler, member of the KDE e.V. Board of Directors explains =
where=20
the new KDE Forum fits into KDE communication infrastructure: "We've come t=
o=20
believe that mailinglist don't cut it for all users. KDE becoming increasin=
gly=20
widely used should also offer those that aren't familiar with the use of em=
ail=20
for such discussions a place. The new KDE forum complements KDE's new end-u=
ser=20
knowledge base Userbase that has been launched last month. At the same time=
,=20
we're really happy to see that after our request the MyBB team has decided =
to=20
release their forum software under the terms of the GPL."=20
