Month: April 2013

Time to send in your GSoC application

Since a few minutes applications for Google Summer of Code 2013 are open. If you plan to apply it is time to get started writing that proposal. GSoC is an amazing opportunity to become a part of KDE and many other free software projects. To help you get going here are some very useful links:

Oh and don’t forget that KDE is also taking part in the Outreach Program for Women.

KDE is looking forward to an amazing summer with a bunch of great students. Will you be one of them? You totally could be!

Community Working Group office hour: recruiting for everything but coding

KDE is a huge project and to keep it running it needs all kinds of people with very different talents – be it artists, translators, promoters, community managers, documentation writers, bug triagers and much more. We’re relatively good with recruiting coders. We could do better for everyone else. The Community Working Group would like to invite you to its next office hour to talk about this topic. How can we make it easier for non-coders to get involved? How can we improve the help we give them? How can we reach more of them?

Join us in #kde-cwg on freenode IRC at 4PM UTC on 21st of April. I hope to see many of you there 🙂
