Alexander, What exactly would you like to contribute to? KDE software is very general and includes many many different applications. If you have a specific application or group of applications in mind it will be much easier to get started. Most people start by scratching an itch they have, such as "I use Kate, but it doesn't do X yet, so I'll add feature X" or something like that.
As for developing on Windows vs a virtual machine, building kde on windows works but it's not the easiest at this point. If you want to go that direction look at windows.kde.org for some guidance in setting up a build environment. On the other hand if you want to begin by using some linux distro, the libraries can be easily installed by the package manager of the distribution you are using. Most distributions even have packages for the frameworks libraries (sometimes referred to as kf5), though they may be in a separate repository or something as they are fairly new. Best of luck and welcome, Jeremy On Mon, Dec 1, 2014 at 7:49 AM, Alexander Lotsu <prettyygo...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I am new to KDE and want to be able to contribute by developing the KDE > software.
