Re: Inquiry about Season of KDE 2026 application process

Hi Tushar and welcome!

https://community.kde.org/GSoC contains all the information you will 
need on KDE's GSoC program.

To discuss existing or upcoming programs it is recommended you join 
https://go.kde.org/matrix/#/#kde-mentorship:kde.org on Matrix.

Regards,

Justin
