Adopt a KDE dragon

Since time immemorial, the KDE dragons have inspired Free Software advocates and contributors, helping them write better code, educate others about their rights and freedoms, and fighting unscrupulous tech companies with dubious morals.

Now you too can enjoy the company and counsel of a KDE dragon! Contribute €100 to our fundraiser, write the name of dragon you'd like to adopt in the comment, and it will be sent to your home¹!

WARNING: KDE dragons are not toys!… Well, actually yes, yes they are². Enjoy.

NOTE that we will not be able to send dragons from the EU (where we are located) to countries with "problematic" posting rules, like Iran, North Korea, Russia, etc. If you are in one of these countries and still want to adopt, we can hold and take care of your dragon for you until you come to an event where we are present at, like FOSDEM, FOSSAsia or Akademy.

¹ We will contact you via email for your physical addresses after receiving your donation.

² CHOKING HAZARD WARNING: KDE dragons have small parts attached that may come off if forcefully ripped. These parts can be a choking hazard, hence KDE dragons are not apt for children 3 or younger.
