<p class="gmail-isSelectedEnd">Hello KDE Community,<br>
<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>
