> stay subscribed so we can address all contributors at one time.

> In addition, please ask one another questions, keeping in mind that most

> frequent communication from YOU, each of you, with your team and your
> mentor(s). Please ask your questions in public, NOT privately.
> Yes, this may feel uncomfortable at first, but this is what works best for

> Private communication is OK if you are passing along truly private
> information, such as your private contact information. Otherwise, it is
> important that all communication be public. We make Free software in the
> open.

> Most of your questions should be asked of the team with which you are

> Contributors can answer are welcome here. We notice who asks questions,

> what KDE is all about. We are a community who makes software, and we
> welcome each of you in.

> We have created report pages
> https://community.kde.org/GSoC/2022/StatusReports 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.

> Please consider also joining the KDE Community ML:
> https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-community, and registering for
> Akademy: https://akademy.kde.org/2022/cfp - online only again this year.

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.

Cheers,

Johnny
