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

[Johnny Jazeix]

Hi,
as said previously on this thread, if we want to have a SoK this year,
we need admins.

You don't need technical skills (keeping a calendar, creating blog
posts and sending mails are the 3 main skills required).

If you have any question, do not hesitate to contact us at
kde-soc-management at kde.org (or reply here) and we'll do our best to
clear them up!

Cheers,
Johnny
