[call for proposals] SOK25 | It's time to submit proposals (deadline: 8 Jan.)

[Johnny Jazeix]

Hi,
For all of you KDE users and potentially new contributors eager to work
on a kool KDE project: We are happy to announce we have several
mentoring ideas for Season Of KDE 2025 for you :)

How do you participate?

It's easy: Check out the SOK25 ideas page below, find the project that
excites you, and plan a proposal with 10-week timeline (mentored work
starts 17 January and ends 31 March). Mentoring ideas for SOK25 can be
found here:

   *Ideas*: https://community.kde.org/SoK/Ideas/2025

   *Deadline*: Wednesday 8 January (23:55 UTC)

To submit a proposal, create an issue at the Invent link below using the
template "sok_proposal". At the issue, you can discuss with mentors in
the comments. If you would like feedback make sure to submit a complete
draft of your proposal early in the process, that way there is plenty of
time before the 8 January deadline. However, please don't forget:
mentors may be busy and it is possible they cannot give detailed
feedback on every draft submitted.

Below is the Invent link. The information provided there is short, make
sure you have read it!

   https://invent.kde.org/teams/mentor-programs/2025

Note: when you submit, edit only the text in the "sok_proposal" template
and do /NOT/ edit the other fields (i.e., "This issue is confidential
...", "Assignee", "Due date", "milestone", "Labels") -- leave them as
they are, everything is already set correctly in the template.

If you do not have an account already, you will need an Invent account
before you submit a proposal and participate in SOK25. You can register
for an account here:

If you have general questions about the process please reach out to us,
preferrably at the Matrix room #kde-soc:kde.org. [1]

Let's make SOK25 a great season for KDE!

Cheers,

Johnny
