There are not too many ideas at present.  Consider improving KDE applications that
you use.  Check https://bugs.kde.org/ for any tickets against such applications, and
also check https://invent.kde.org for recent activity on the application.

Consider also introducing your self in the matrix chat:
https://go.kde.org/matrix/#/#kde-mentorship:kde.org

Giving some idea of previous open source work, related skills and interests would
make it easier to suggest projects.

Some other Matrix rooms are listed at:
