Dear KDE Edu, RKward and Kile communities, I'm writing to you directly in case some of you might not follow the kde-community mailing list or Planet KDE regularly: In mid-August, after Akademy, KDE started a process to set goals for the community to focus on over the next 3-4 years [1].
Since then, we've been collecting proposals for such goals, and one proposal I sent in was "Making KDE software the #1 choice for research and academia" [2]. I know that KDE has a lot of great software to offer for research and academia, but in my opinion currently we're not as present there as we should be. That's why I'd like KDE as a community to strengthen our ties to institutions and organizations in that field, and make our software even better through communication and collaboration with them (and possibly even funding from them). More details can be found in the Phabricator ticket [2]. If you think this is a worthy goal to pursue, I'd be happy if you could join the discussion on the ticket, and ideally add yourself to the "I am willing to put work into this" section of the description. Thank you, Thomas [1] http://blog.lydiapintscher.de/2017/08/20/evolving-kde-lets-set-some-goals/ [2] https://phabricator.kde.org/T6895
