Kdenlive Developer Jean-Baptiste Mardelle Is Missing 138
jones_supa writes "Kdenlive's project leader Jean-Baptiste Mardelle, who always used to let people know if he was going to be away for a couple of days, seems to have just disappeared. His last e-mail and blog post were in early July and they didn't suggest any problems. While there's many Kdenlive fans out there for the KDE-focused open-source video editor, it seems new development efforts around the project have ceased. Also the Kdenlive Git repository hasn't seen any new commits (aside from the automated l10n daemon script) since early July. There has been also people in KDE forums and Kdenlive developers' mailing list pondering about the status of the project, being left none the wiser."

Given the nature of the Kdenlive software itself, video editing, I think it would be foolish to rule out a mafiAA hit.

We've had two people die in the year and a half since I started this job, we still release and bugfix.
And you're still there?! Get out while you have a chance!

What are you talking about? He's discovered the holy grail. What do you do with a bad developer? Kill him and the company will hire a replacement. Brilliant.

Yeah. They sent Jodie Foster to interrogate him in his cell.
