Remember, folks, if the past is any predictor of the future we will be seeing 15.0 release candidates some weeks (or months!) before the 15.0 release.

Slackware 14.0:
* First RC: 2012-08-10
* Released: 2012-09-28

Slackware 14.1:
* First RC: 2013-10-15
* Released: 2013-11-07

Slackware 14.2:
* First RC: 2016-03-18
* Released: 2016-07-01

Yes! Hoping to see a release candidate soon for 15.0.

OT but worth mentioning that hazel is anything but a "typical broad". Apparently she was an actual Computing Pioneer compared to many, if not most here. Just how many "broads" do you know that worked on mainframes back in the day and more recently played around with Linux From Scratch?

I'm surprised by the anger, and narrow-minded sexism of your post. This is a rarity, thankfully, here on LQ. Why the personal attack?

Back on topic.

I predict that we'll have 15.0 before July.

I am sure this was a second degree joke (as highlighted by a smiley in the original post).

I certainly hope hazel took it that way.

To paraphrase Robin Williams, "That seems a little vague, chief."

Ha-ha! That's true. The arrival of 15.0 is a mystery. I am looking forward to that.

The Plasma 5.18 LTS Beta is out!

Of course it was a joke. I hope that at my age I can recognise coarse humour when I see it. But I must admit I'm surprised that people still use ancient words like "broad". You could almost imagine Humphrey Bogart saying that in some 1940s black-and-white gangster movie.

Good to hear, hazel. It's awesome to meet a hard core mainframe user. My only use of a mainframe was back in the 70s when I ran programs at a key punch terminal (with a stack of paper cards) at the UBC computer science building. I'm old too.

I'm not quite that prehistoric. Where I worked, we used an online printing terminal for database searches: a real TTY (teletype). But programmers had to do their input on coding sheets which were then translated by punch card operators into a stack of cards. The cards went into the machine overnight for compilation and the programmer got a list of coding errors the next morning. It probably took weeks to get a program to run.

You need to remember that a lot of office workers of my generation used mainframe computers. Most computer users then were drones, not geeks. I didn't get to actually writing programs until minicomputers came in and our library got one to play about with.

The clock applet's "set time" function is broken in both Plasma 5 and LxQt.

Surely, if Plasma 5 is to be included, then this should be fixed before the release?

How big a team does Patrick have helping him? I hope he's not having to deal with all these glitches on his own.

I'll be 63 in August. On some mornings I feel positively Cretaceous. Heh. In high school we had a grey box that spit out a long strip of paper.
I've had a love of technology for the majority of my life. Grateful to be a Slacker. It's fun to anticipate the arrival of 15.0.

Meh... fits perfectly fine to the "are we there yet"-thread theme!
