OutreachProgramForWomen
We are currently participating in the Free and Open Source Outreach Program for Women, which runs two editions every year.
Introduction
2013 will be the first time KDE will take part, sponsored by KDAB. Round 6 will run from June to September 2013
| Event | Date |
|---|---|
| Application deadline | May 1 |
| Dates | June 17 - September 23 |
| Number of Internships | 1 (sponsored by KDAB) |
Goals
The KDE community is participating in this initiative because we aim to:
- Make strong connections with a few talented people who will stick around
- Encourage people to work on testing, design, documentation, marketing, and other areas as well as code
- Increase the number and proportion of women in an open source community
- Promote age diversity as well
How to contribute
KDE has an extensive wiki documentation on how to contribute to KDE as well as a very convenient KDE Guide in e-book and pdf format.

Tasks
We are currently collecting tasks submissions and ask you to Spread the Word
Software Projects
All software projects also require design, documentation, marketing and translation. If you are interested in these tasks, you can learn about both the project and the activities of the relevant team to figure out how to best approach it.
For coding tasks please refer to the GSoC Ideas page.
