Season of KDE 2026 kicks off with 25 volunteers working on 21 projects.
SoK is KDE's mentorship program that introduces new contributors to Free Software. This year our mentees will help improve the state of Plasma, KDE Connect, KDE's games, KDE Eco, translations, KDE's websites, internal data collection and more.

I talked for more than two hours (135 mins to be precise) about upstream Linux kernel hardening at Okayama University this afternoon. ๐ง๐จ๐ฝโ๐ป๐
It covers everything from setting up the #fediverse accounts and development environment to finding good first issues. While it's primarily for the OSSCA participants, anyone interested in contributing to @fedify is welcome to use it as a reference.
Ready to onboard the next wave of #ActivityPub developers!

Excited to share that I've joined #OSSCA (Open Source Software Contribution Academy) as a mentor for the @fedify project!
OSSCA is a national program run by South Korea's NIPA (National IT Industry Promotion Agency) through their Open Source Software Support Center, aimed at fostering the next generation of open source contributors.
We're currently in the process of selecting around 20 mentees who will start contributing to #Fedify once the selection is complete. I've been busy preparing good first issues to help them get started on their open source journey.
Looking forward to working with these new contributors and seeing what amazing things we can build together!

As an #introduction to me, and my #physics career, I highly recommend this article in @PhysicsWorld with an interview reflecting on particle physics #careers, using mine as an example
Are you overdue for a thesis committee meeting, but feel like you have nothing to show since your last meeting? I'm begging you to schedule that meeting now!
Either, your research is languishing and you need help! This is what your thesis commitee is for.
Or, you are doing fine and the committee is there to tell you that.
I have been doing a lot of #mentoring helping #bioinformatics people getting their first job out of academia - into #datascience jobs - and thus decided to pen some of the ramblings I subject them to.
#introduction Hello! I'm Dave, a non-academic research physicist.
Likes: #dogs, #math, data visualization, #BeerBrewing, #rugby, open source software, #linux, #mentoring, command line interfaces, \(\LaTeX\ \), and using latin shortcuts, *e.g., *i.e.*, *e.g.*, *etc.*, *etc.*
Dislikes: seeing Q.E.D. used where Q.E.F. is needed.
I get anxiety making up hashtags and I obsess over maxing out my type in boxes when shown a decrementing character count.
What I like to do is to help random students, staff, and faculty with clever science ideas and I help them convert science-lingo into engineering to actually get useful data. I also like helping strangers with projects, so feel free to tell me about yours!
I'm a PhD #Materials#Scientist who works part time as an instructor/lab manager and as a consultant for various companies. I love #Mentoring people and helping companies turn scientific curiosities into #Prototype devices.
