Please excuse the delay in welcoming you to the KDE Community and adding you all to the student mail list, KDE-Soc at <a href="http://kde.org" target="_blank">kde.org</a>.<br>If you have not used a mail list before, this will be your introduction to this old and still very useful tech. While the program continues, you must stay subscribed so we can address all contributors at one time.<div><br>In addition, please ask one another questions, keeping in mind that most members of the list are fellow students, although some of the administrators, mentors and former students are subscribed as well.<br><br>If you have not yet subscribed to the KDE developers list, please do so, along with your own team's list if they have one. Talk to the team about<br>their preferred channel of communication, and use it. Some of the IRC channels /Matrix rooms and Telegram groups are bridged. Remember<br>that the official venue of communication is always the mail list.</div><div><br><a href="https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel" target="_blank">https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel</a> for more information.<br><br>There is a room for KDE GSoC mentors/Contributors: <a href="https://webchat.kde.org/#/room/%23kde-soc:kde.org" target="_blank">https://webchat.kde.org/#/room/#kde-soc:kde.org</a>.<br><br>By now you should have your developer account set up so that you can commit to your team's codebase, and review the commits of your fellow devels.<br>KDE's reason for participating in Google Summer of Code is not to get code from you. Instead, our goal is new KDE Developers! This is why we require<br>frequent communication from YOU, each of you, with your team and your mentor(s). Please ask your questions in public, NOT privately. </div><div>Yes, this may feel uncomfortable at first, but this is what works best for everyone. Remember, this is not class, college or university.</div><div><br>Private communication is OK if you are passing along truly private information, such as your private contact information. Otherwise, it is<br>important that all communication be public. We make Free software in the open.<br><br>Most of your questions should be asked of the team with which you are working or other public channels, but questions that only your fellow<br>Contributors can answer are welcome here. We notice who asks questions, and who is helpful to their fellow students. Remember, this is not a *competition* -- we are all in this together, and helping one another is what KDE is all about. We are a community who makes software, and we welcome each of you in.<br><br>We have created report pages <a href="https://community.kde.org/GSoC/2022/StatusReports" target="_blank">https://community.kde.org/GSoC/2022/StatusReports</a> where you should copy the content from the template and use it to write your own report that will be the final link to send to Google.<br><br>Don't forget to add your blog to the planet-kde now if you have not yet done so you can share your progress with the community and post frequently (a MR like <a href="https://invent.kde.org/websites/planet-kde-org/-/merge_requests/115/diffs" target="_blank">https://invent.kde.org/websites/planet-kde-org/-/merge_requests/115/diffs</a>).<br><br>Please consider also joining the KDE Community ML: <a href="https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-community" target="_blank">https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-community</a>, and registering for Akademy: <a href="https://akademy.kde.org/2022/cfp" target="_blank">https://akademy.kde.org/2022/cfp</a> - online only again this year.<br><br></div></div></blockquote><br>A small mistake when we wrote this: this year, Akademy will be back in person in Barcelona, Spain from Saturday 1st to Friday the 7th of October, 2022.</div><div class="gmail_quote"><br><div>Cheers,</div><div><br></div><div>Johnny</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>Feel free to respond to this message with questions and clarifications.</div><div><br></div><div>Valorie Zimmerman for the KDE GSoC administration team. </div><div><br></div><div>PS: if you have an administration issue, you may write to use directly: <a href="mailto:kde-soc-management@kde.org" target="_blank">kde-soc-management@kde.org</a><br><div><br></div>-- <br><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><a href="http://about.me/valoriez" target="_blank">http://about.me/valoriez</a> - pronouns: she/her<br></div></div></div></div></div>
