Dear SOK26 Contributors, welcome to Season of KDE :) Today, we're proud to announce the selected projects for SOK26 -- see the information in the blog post written by Paul: https://mentorship.kde.org/blog/2026-01-21-sok-26-welcome/ but don't skip over the information here in your excitement!
SOK26 Work officially starts this Friday 23 January. Over the next 8 weeks you will work closely with the mentors of your projects. Never hesitate to ask your mentors or us (kde-soc-management at kde.org) when you have questions. For those of you whose projects haven't been selected, it is not the end of the road. You can still contribute to KDE projects outside this program. Contact the teams, discuss ideas, and implement them! We'd love to have you join our community :) Note: It is very important to subscribe to the 'kde-soc' mailing list at <https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-soc> as soon as possible. This is the official communication channel for Season of KDE and we will send all updates there. To all of our new contributors, thank you very much for your drive to gain experience and improve FOSS at the same time. The mentors and mentorship team, as well as the broader KDE community, are sure you'll create something fantastic over the course of this season. Looking forward to all of your achievements in the coming weeks! Cheers, Johnny (on behalf of the mentorship team) Hashtag: #SOK26 (uppercase O for screen readers)
