KDE has been selected to participate in Google Summer of Code 2026.

Through GSoC, KDE seeks to encourage new contributors to join Free Software projects long term and ensure the continuity of FLOSS.

This year's proposed ideas cover improving Okular, Kdenlive, digiKam, and our localization infrastructures, among others.

@kde I love ya'll a lot, but fuck google.
@kde How does participation work? Do we sign up and we get allocated a mentor?
@kde The words KDE and Google in one sentence feels…. 😑

@kde
We should be boycotting anything google does. The things they are doing in parallel by introducing fucked up stuff is more than enough to avoid them and their summer of code.

That is the only way freedom can be achieved.
