KDE will participate Google Summer of Code 2024 with many new projects

From frameworks to translations, from Krita to KStars, GSoC recruits will work on improving performance, boosting interoperability, and adding features to a long list of KDE projects.

I still don't think that participation of any free project in the #GSoC is a Good Idea. After all this is a cheap recruitment opportunity for the #GAFAM and drains the source of #freesoftware hackers for all non-monopolists. YMMV

Many KDE recruits have gone on to become valued KDE developers. Aleix Pol, current president of KDE, for example. Aleix started out developing KALgebra, but then went on to do a GSoC in which he worked on Kdevelop. Never worked for Google.
