RULES

No Spam, and please link to the source instead of blogs that link to the source. Blogs are fine as long as they have original content or add significant content to news or issue.
This is a community Lemmy instance so be respectful of other users.
No trolling and no shitposting. Low quality posts and comments will be removed without warning. Repeat offenders will be banned.
Prefer reporting bugs to https://bugs.kde.org/, as KDE developers do not scan lemmy for bug reports.
Avoid comparing and/or disparaging various desktop environments, distros, and/or other FLOSS projects. This instance is for discussing the KDE community and the software it produces, and not about pointless flamewars between open source projects.
No linking to Twitter/X. Links to Twitter/X from posts or comments will be removed and repeat offenders will be banned.
In case of doubt, consult KDE’s Code of conduct. Violations of the CoC will result in banning.

KDE is a commmunity creating free and open source software for desktop and portable computing.

Donate to KDE

Want to contribute to KDE?

For starters:

The best way to start contributing is to contact the community over Matrix and IRC
At first sight, it might seem a bit hard to interact in those groups. That’s okay! Join them first, see how things are done, mention your interest and where you’d like to work with. We may even find a mentor for you!
The KDE Community develops and distributes open source software. As such, we follow a sort of do-ocracy wherein tasks are done and assigned by contributors themselves. Feel free to pick an area and just start contributing immediately! We’re always here to help you along the way. A good way to contribute with code for the first time is to fix an unfixed bug that afflicts you or assign yourself to junior jobs and start working on them.
It’s always nice to collaborate optimally with others in any given setting, but this is especially important for community projects like those following the open source model, so remember to read the KDE Code of Conduct.
