Hello, Regarding the software to use, KDE uses Git and CMake. These are pretty much the (new) only things that you need. For editing code you can use any text editor or IDE you prefer. You need to get familiar with kdelibs and how a KDE project is structured. The best way to do this is to choose a bug from a project of your liking and try to fix it. http://bugs.kde.org[1]
Look for junior jobs at first. https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?keywords=junior-jobs&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=CONFIRMED&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&list_id=758623[2] Then submit the patches to the review board: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org[3] Also on IRC #kde and #kde-devel is a good place to ask questions. The project you choose might also have it's own IRC channel. I hope this will be helpful. P.S. It's motivating to fix a bug that bugs you. -- *Ovidiu-Florin Bogdan* GeekAliens.com[4] Kubuntu România[5] În ziua de Wednesday 18 December 2013, la 22:34:03, Myriam Schweingruber a scris: > FYI, I think this is better suited for the developer mailing list > instead of the user support list :) > > > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: Cruceru Calin <crucerucalincrist...@gmail.com> > Date: Tue, Dec 17, 2013 at 11:20 PM > Subject: [kde] Getting started > To: k...@mail.kde.org > > > Hello, > > I heard from a friend about KDE and since I have knowledge about C++, > which is the main used programming language ( from what i heard and > read ), I decided to get involved and find out more about KDE. > > I have already read almost everything from the Getinginvolved website > but as it is mentioned at some point, getting started may be pretty > hard, so I need assistance. > > Firstly, I need to know more about what software I need in order to > start repairing bugs and working in a KDE environment and then, how > exactly I do this.
