            <br>
            My name is Tushar Jamdade, and I am an open-source
            contributor with a strong interest in participating in
            Season of KDE 2026.<br>
            <br>
            I am currently a pre-final year undergraduate student
            pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science. I have a
            strong foundation in DevOps, web technologies, and data
            science, along with a good understanding of open-source
            development and community collaboration. I am also a <a

              moz-do-not-send="true"><b>Google Summer of Code (GSoC)
                2025 contributor</b></a>, which has given me valuable
            experience working with mentors and contributing to large
            open-source projects.<br>
            <br>
            I am very interested in contributing to the KDE community.
            According to the Season of KDE timeline, contributor
            applications are currently open, and I am keen to apply this
            year. However, I could not find any listed projects for
            Season of KDE 2026, nor any application form or clear
            submission instructions.<br>
            <br>
            Could you please guide me on:<br>
          </p>
          <ul>
            <li>How and where to submit an application for Season of KDE
              2026</li>
            <li>How applicants can connect with mentors, given that no
              projects are currently listed </li>
          </ul>
          Thank you very much for your time and support.</div>
