Last day today!
This week #Plasma has received quite a lot of fixes,
like you can now remove the titlebar and frame from a window directly from the Task Manager, the digital clock gets a nicer-looking font picker dialog, and we have simplified the info shown on Display Configuration, among many other improvements and changes.

There are already loads of proposals on the GSoC ideas page

Help keep projects like digiKam producing new releases with awesome new features by donating to our fundraiser:
The few euros that reach the projects, helps fund development. There are also some apps on Steam and it is the same idea.
Many app projects do not have the infrastructure to accept donations (but som do: check the individual pages of each app or donate through GitHub).
You donate to KDE, and that reverts to the project maintainers, developers and other contributors.
We also need funding πΆ to keep the gears turning! Please support us with a donation:
