Hi folks, KDE has also been accepted as part of GCi. If you would like
to mentor, please

1. subscribe to kde-soc-mentor list [1], then
2. write to one of the admins or to the mentor ML asking to be invited
to be an admin, and providing us a gmail account, which will be
mandatory this year.
3. Once you have done both the above and logged into the new webapp,
add your task(s). If you already added them to the spreadsheet,
they'll be bulk-added by bshah.
