Hello KDE community!
Many of you may know me from the KDE Eco "Blauer Engel for FOSS"
project. I am writing now to announce that alongside community
organization for KDE Eco, I will be working on internal communication
and community building at KDE. I am excited to be working with you in
this position for the next 6 months!
At the end of this email I provide details about some of the things I
will be doing. Most importantly, this is not just a 6-month sprint. The
goal of this work is to build a sustainable infrastructure for the
long-term.
I am not sure yet what exactly that will look like, and I will need your
input and your help to achieve this. *If you are working on any of the
topics listed below, please be in touch.* I'd like to discuss details
about you do and how KDE can build structures to support that work.
You will hear a lot more from me in the coming weeks. For now I wanted
to say hello and let you know what is happening within KDE :)
Cheers,
Joseph
Anything missing? Let me know!
- Keeping an eye out for important activities happening in the community
that should get wider attention and be promoted within KDE.
These include such things as: call for participations for Akademy and
other KDE events, and encouraging people to present their work;
announcing community Sprints; spreading information about efforts to
port to Qt 6 and boosting KDE Frameworks; encouraging mentoring and
participation in Season of KDE and Google Summer of Code, among other
things.
- Supporting community members to talk about the KDE work they do with
the wider world (conferences, blog posts, podcasts, social media, etc.)
- Generally: spreading important information about internal topics and
generating excitement within the community about them, increasing
community cohesion.
