Dear KDE Community, Hello
My name is Krisha Mehta, and I am a computer science student with a strong interest in open-source software and building meaningful desktop applications. I recently explored KDE through Google Summer of Code and was inspired by KDE’s mission to give users control over their digital lives through free and open technology. I am very interested in contributing to KDE, particularly in areas related to C++, Qt/QML, and desktop applications. I enjoy working on structured problem-solving, data structures, and user-focused software, and KDE’s rich ecosystem feels like a great place to learn while contributing to impactful projects. As I prepare for Google Summer of Code, I would love guidance on: - How beginners can start contributing to KDE - Projects or modules suitable for first-time contributors - Recommended issues, documentation, or mentorship channels to follow I am eager to learn, collaborate with the community, and gradually take on more responsibility as a contributor. I would truly appreciate any direction or resources you can share to help me get started. Thank you for maintaining such an inspiring open-source community. I look forward to learning from and contributing to KDE. Warm regards, *Krisha Mehta* Aspiring Open-Source Contributor
