[call for proposals] SOK24 | It's time to submit proposals (deadline: 8 Jan.)

[Joseph P. De Veaugh-Geiss]

For all of you KDE users and potentially new contributors eager to work 
on a kool KDE project: We are happy to announce we have several 
mentoring ideas for Season Of KDE 2024 for you :)

How do you participate?

It's easy: Check out the SOK24 ideas page below, find the project that 
excites you, and plan a proposal with 10-week timeline (mentored work 
starts 17 January and ends 31 March). Mentoring ideas for SOK24 can be 
found here:

   *Ideas*: https://community.kde.org/SoK/Ideas/2024

   *Deadline*: Monday 8 January (23:55 UTC)

To submit a proposal, create an issue at the Invent link below using the 
template "sok_proposal". At the issue, you can discuss with mentors in 
the comments. If you would like feedback make sure to submit a complete 
draft of your proposal early in the process, that way there is plenty of 
time before the 8 January deadline. However, please don't forget: 
mentors may be busy and it is possible they cannot give detailed 
feedback on every draft submitted.

Below is the Invent link. The information provided there is short, make 
sure you have read it!

   https://invent.kde.org/teams/season-of-kde/2024

Note: when you submit, edit only the text in the "sok_proposal" template 
and do /NOT/ edit the other fields (i.e., "This issue is confidential 
...", "Assignee", "Due date", "milestone", "Labels") -- leave them as 
they are, everything is already set correctly in the template.

If you do not have an account already, you will need an Invent account 
before you submit a proposal and participate in SOK24. You can register 
for an account here:

Let's make SOK24 a great season for KDE!

Cheers,

Joseph and Johnny
