Gnome, Document Foundation, FSFE,… and so many other community-driven Free and Open Source organizations are the Good People of the tech world.
This year we are asking you consider them (and also maybe us!) when you donate. Donate to the people that fight for your digital rights, your privacy, and your right to not be exploited by the predatory corporations in the tech industry.
Adopt NeoChat!
This chat client works on both your desktop and phone and will let you communicate over the free de-centralized and secure Matrix instant messaging platform.
I have made a donation to adopt an app but I didn’t see a place where to put the preferred app so I now donated without adopting. Is there a way to change this?
You can write a comment when you donate. We are asking people to put the name of the app there.
But it is no trouble: just shoot me a private message and tell me the app and which name you would like us to put and we’ll do it by hand.
Also maybe the name you donated under so we can find your donation.
I indeed missed the comment section while donating, my bad. DM sent, thanks!
Breaking Fundraiser News: More than halfway there💰!
We have already raised more than 60% of our first fundraiser goal! Thanks to the generosity of all or donors, we are now well on the way of reaching €30,000 before the end of November.
Will your donation push us over the finishing line?
We have more apps for you to adopt!: Kasts, Labplot, Filelight and Konsole
You can adopt Kasts, a very cool and full-featured podcast application which works both on your desktop and your phone:
Or maybe you want to express your support for @labplot, a data analysis and visualization tool ideal for research, education, science and business:
You could also sponsor Filelight, a utility that allows you to visually monitor usage of the storage on your computer:
Or choose Konsole! KDE’s classic terminal emulator that has dozens of tricks up its sleeve that make working on the command line easy, fun and productive:
Gwenview, Elisa, Konqueror and KRDC added to the list of adoptable apps
You can use Gwenview to view and do basic edits to images, Elisa is a sleek music player, Konqueror is KDE’s classic file and web browser, and KRDC allows you to visit and use remote in a windows of your local desktop.
ISO Image Writer, Partition Manager, SkanPage and System Monitor added to the list of adoptable apps.
If using the command line to burn disk images makes you nervous, ISO Image Writer is your friend!
Likewise, creating and modifying partitions can be scary, so why not use KDE’s friendly Partition Manager?
SkanPage will help you connect your scanner and you’ll be scanning all your important documents quickly and easily.
And to keep an eye on what’s going on on your machine, don’t miss Plasma’s System Monitor. Personalize pages with sensors and keep an eye on what’s important to you.
KDE makes a long list of games, and we will be adding some to the list of adoptable apps over the next few days.
Here are the first four:
Have a fun!
I bet a lot of folks are unaware of the scope of KDE’s entertainment and educational applications - I knew about GCompris, KBreakOut, Kolf, and a couple others, but didn’t even know about the rest of these, so this part of the campaign is great!
What are your favorite KDE games? Here are some of ours, now up for adoption:
With less than €3,000 to go, our fundraiser is about to cross the €50,000 mark, and we will be entering the final stretch of our campaign.
Will your donation push us over the line?
Donor appreciation post: Thank you for all your generosity💖!
We are close to reaching our first fundraiser stretch goal…
… And we want to thank everybody who made this possible. You have guaranteed KDE’s survival for yet another year.
We also want to thank everyone who donated through the pop-up. We’re very grateful for your support!
Many people said they wished they could donate more. Please don’t think you didn’t make a difference! Every euro will help!
And let’s not forget everyone who contributed by using, testing, or blogging about our projects! Whether it was with code, art, bug reports, social media posts, or anything else, by desinterestedly lending your time and skill, regardless of if it is on regular basis (shout out to all our hardworking devs!) or with a one-time, flyby commit that sniped a bug out of your favorite app, you too helped make KDE better for everybody this year.
