Hi everyone, Happy New Year!
2026 will mark KDE's 30th birthday. We want to use this opportunity to celebrate 30 years of an amazing Free Software community of course. I've had conversations with many people about what we want to do and have started planning now. We will have 2 major points in the year where celebrations will happen: Akademy and October 14th. There a a bunch of activities we have planned, all with these overarching goals in mind: * Show appreciation for contributors, who shaped KDE for all those years * Turn some people at the periphery into active contributors * Show KDE's achievements over the past 30 years * Build up excitement for the next 30 years * Fundraise based on the excitement built up I've created tickets for most of the things we want to do at https://invent.kde.org/teams/promo/30th-anniversary/-/issues Please do have a look if there is any task you can help with or even drive. We'll need quite a few people to make it happen. Anything you have in mind that's missing? Let's have a chat! Want to help with overall organizing? Let me know! Let's get this party started ;-) Cheers Lydia -- Lydia Pintscher - https://lydiapintscher.de - WD:Q18016466 KDE e.V. Board of Directors http://kde.org - http://open-advice.org
