Akademy Award 2015 for Best Application
At Akademy 2015, we got the Akademy Application award! I, Milian, received it in the name of the whole KDevelop team for our work on this important tool in the KDE ecosystem.
I want to explicitly state my sincere thanks to everyone ever involved in KDevelop - be it in the past or present. Without the tons of high quality contributions, we would never be where we are today. I also said that during my (short, made-up-on-the-spot) acceptance speech, that we nowadays stand on the shoulders of giants. Thousands of lines of code bringing ever amazing and innovative functionality even today have been created by contributors that are (sadly!) not active anymore Thank you all! And maybe it's a cool time to start getting back again? :).
It was quite a surprise for me to be the one to receive the award, and I have to admit that it was quite touching :) Personally, I have learned nearly everything I know about programming during the last 7 years I've been contributing to KDevelop, and this really keeps me motivated. I've had the best teachers imaginable - thank you, again!
I also want to express my deep gratitude to the currently active developers. I look forward to working together with you all. Let's continue to evolve the KDevelop project - we are all in this together!
Cheers, keep rocking!
