So it would cost 1000 Euro/year to be allowed to post job offers (
https://ev.kde.org/getinvolved/supporting-members/[1]  , formatting is partly broken on 
that page). If Linux & C++ & Qt would suffice as "KDE adjacent", then this would actually be 
cheap (one job ad for one month on stepstone is about 1000 Euro).
