Hello there,

I know C++ and I love KDE, however I've never tried to contribute back to KDE development. Now, I think it's time to spend some time helping the KDE Devs. Could you provide me some guidance or even some links to start off my journey to the KLand of Linux desktop enviroment ?

Hi!

The best way to start is finding something you're interested in. That could be a bug, or a new feature in some application you use on a regular basis and you'd like to have (fixed). When you found something, just start working -- if you need help, ask in #kde-devel or in the project's IRC channel, or on the project mailing list if nobody is online in IRC. If you manage to come up with a working patch, put that on reviewboard.kde.org to get it upstreamed.

When you submitted a few good patches and are still interested in contributing more, you can also apply for a KDE developer account, so you get write access to the repositories.

Source code for almost all KDE projects can be found on projects.kde.org.

Greetings!
Sven
