End of Season of KDE 2025, Admins needed for Season of KDE 2026

[Johnny Jazeix]

Thank you Bhushan and Paul!

So yes, if anyone is interested by learning some project management
(if you're part of this community for at least one year, it's good
enough), it's the right time, you will be well seconded with
experienced people!

The "work" period is between September/October (to start defining the
dates and asking for projects), and it ends around June (to gather and
send goodies for successful participants) but it's not a lot time
consuming during these months.

Cheers,

Johnny
