Financial Support for Working on KDE
summary
NLnet funds engineering work on KDE and reports 1000+ projects supported historically; examples include Ocular PDF digital signing, Dolphin’s secure admin mode, KDE Connect’s discovery re‑implementation, Plasma Wayland touch improvements, Kden/KMail/NeoChat encryption work (some funded via the European Commission), and LabPlot statistical upgrades. Proposals start with a form to request funding and go through lightweight review, mentoring, security scans and packaging/licensing help, then a paid contract; KDE proposals are currently underrepresented and NLnet offers flexible payment and matchmaking.
