Biography

Marco Martin: I actively contribute to KDE since 2007, and currently i'm the maintainer of Plasma-framework and the Kirigami framework. I work for Bluesystems where among other things i'm also doing maintainership and developement work of the various Plasma components.

Niccolò Venerandi: I'm a contributor to KDE since four years ago, when I was selected as the goalkeeper of the Consistency goal. Nowadays I mostly work with the Promotion team, plus some work on Plasmashell (especially the panel!). I started a Youtube channel ("Nicco Loves Linux") roughly two years and a half regarding my involvement in KDE; it is now my main source of income.
