Hi Tichy, good to hear from you. When you write to the KDE-Soc list
though, you are mostly addressing your fellow students. Instead,
please write directly to the KDEConnect devel list:
https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kdeconnect

In KDE we try to work on teams, and not let people struggle alone. We
encourage all students to join the relevant mail list(s) and IRC
channels, and discuss openly plans for work, difficulties, progress,
and so forth. Get to know your team members, support them, and be
supported by them.

All the best,

Valorie
