Kde-soc Digest, Vol 186, Issue 5

[Samer Attrah]

Hello,

Thanks for sending me this email.
I find some interesting links and news mentioned here sometimes, but
unfortunately, the style is so messed up and the information is scrambled,
so can you please put it ini format?

Or, I might be unsubscribing due to the lack of quality.

Kind regards

> #### About KDE Mentorship Programs
>
> KDE is currently participating/organising three mentorship programs:
>
> - **[Season of KDE](https://mentorship.kde.org/sok/)** (or **SoK**) is
> two-month long mentorship programs that provides an opportunity for
> people to do mentored projects for KDE.
> [Timeline](https://mentorship.kde.org/sok/).
> - **KUWoC**, organised in partnership with the University of
> Kathmandu, lasts one month and aims to provide real life FLOSS
> projects for students at the university to work on.
> - **[Google Summer of Code](https://mentorship.kde.org/gsoc/)**
> (**GSoC**): Google Summer of Code is a program sponsored by Google to
> help developers start contributing to open source software. We will be
> updating you on the timeline for that later in the year.
