@qt, a sponsor of Akademy last year, has to say.You can also support the KDE community by sponsoring #Akademy2025 and increase your brand's exposure.

Except in this case the AI happens all on your computer, so no privacy leaks, big scale water or air polluting, no stealing from artists their work and livelihood... Just a tool that alleviates time and tedium, as it should be

It's free. Go try it for yourself. There's nobody better than you to see if it adapts well to your workflow and projects.

Projects always struggle with this—development is always miles ahead. But, hey, look on the bright side: it's a great way to contribute back.

Aren't fundraisers great motivators 😉 ?

#Akademy2025 is happening in Berlin, Germany, and online from Saturday the 6th to Thursday the 11th of September.

Mark your calendars!
More details: https://akademy.kde.org/2025/

Try KDE's Discuss Forum. Also check out the New Contributors' chat room.

It shows up on the Planet. Does that help?

Which question was not answered?
Also, not to be harsh, but your comment is borderline violating KDE's CoC. if the volunteers working for free helping out other people do not know the answer to your question, there is not much anybody can do about that 🤷. It does not mean other questions will not be answered.

If you don't get the answer you are looking for here, get yourself to our Discuss forum. Devs hang out there often and they may be able to help you.

Yes. If the cursor is sluggish, there is something wrong. Get yourself to https://discuss.kde.org/ and ask there.

In many cases the default is chosen because the people placing the order don't know any better. An educated staff can help them make better choices.

In the banner? It is the symbol for Plasma, KDE's desktop environment.

Wrong thread?

There are KDE dragons of many colours.


Folks! Let's all stop trying! This random person on the Internet says it's not worth it.

GCompris 25.0 released! KDE's compendium of educational activities adds Sanskrit and Georgian to the list of supported languages, and expands the number of activities to 195.

New activities help children develop their artistic creativity, learn arithmetic, and more.

What are you talking about. We spend zero effort on AI.

There is not a naming scheme. Projects can call their apps whatever they want.



We're on it. We have to remove some stuff (namely x/Twitter) and a add a bunch of new stuff. Thanks for the reminder though.
Edit: W e would like to apologise and thank you for your patience in stuff like this. We are understaffed in the promotion and communication department (besides, modifying public websites can only be carried out by people with the proper permissions for logical reasons), and we often have to put off stuff that is not a top priority. We are currently working on making sure the fundraiser stays on track and the announcement for KDE Gear coming out next week.
Again, thank you for your patience.
