Por que doar

  • Produzimos software de primeira classe e sua doação nos mantém “em atividade” e nosso software sustentável para as gerações futuras.

  • Nós mantemos você no controle e sua doação permite que o KDE permaneça verdadeiramente independente.
  • Nós alcançamos pessoas que a indústria de tecnologia deixou para trás e sua doação contribui para atender aqueles que são ignorados pela indústria e trazer usuários marginalizados para a comunidade para que possamos expandir o projeto para todos.
  • Nós lutamos para que o Software Livre seja implementado em instituições públicas e sua doação nos ajuda a adaptar nosso software ao que as instituições públicas exigem, para que seus impostos sejam usados ​​para financiar Software Livre, e não alguma grande empresa de tecnologia.

Como nós usamos o dinheiro

Our goals are ambitious and we need funds to carry them out. We need:

  • de uma infraestrutura sólida para desenvolvedores, tradutores e outros colaboradores
  • contratar profissionais (profissionais de marketing, organizadores de eventos, advogados, contadores) para realizar tarefas especializadas
  • financiar as despesas de viagem dos colaboradores, para que todos tenham a oportunidade de participar na comunidade
  • pagar para participar de eventos e para comprar material para os estandes
  • encomendar trabalhos artísticos e desenhos
  • de desenvolvimento direcionado.

...e Salve o Mundo

O KDE contribui para um mundo mais limpo e você também pode.

KDE contributor Farid inspired us to take on the "30 for 30" challenge: for our 30th birthday, we are asking you to do something to help the environment and make the planet a nicer place to live in. Farid is planting 30 trees and we want you to come up with something similar.

Filmaremos você e sua equipe realizando o trabalho e nós divulgaremos o projeto nas redes sociais.

Aqui estão mais algumas ideias:

  • Resgate 30 computadores (ou mais!) de acabarem em um aterro sanitário.
  • Recicle 30 celulares com um sistema operacional móvel livre
  • Limpe 30 hectares de uma floresta
  • Converta 30 pessoas para um sistema operacional livre
  • Leve 30 magnatas da tecnologia ao tribunal para que parem de construir centros de dados para IA

KDE's history

KDE trivia

Você sabia que...?

... o KDE ajudou a levar robôs a Marte?

Nós fizemos isso! E temos as provas gráficas para comprovar:

Screengrab from "Good Night Oppy" on Amazon Prime

That is from the documentary Good Night Oppy, about the Opportunity Mars rover. In the scene you can see a NASA engineer troubleshooting the rover while in flight towards Mars from a KDE 3 workstation.

... o KDE construiu o mecanismo HTML que alimenta a maioria dos navegadores da web?

É verdade!

KDE's web engine was written back in 1998 - 1999 and was subsequently used as the basis for Apple's Webkit and Google's Blink engines. This means that most modern browsers, including Safari, Chrome, Chromium, Microsoft Edge, Opera, Vivaldi, and Brave, use KDE software at their core.

De fato, se você verificar os registros de acesso do seu servidor web, verá "KHTML" em praticamente todas as linhas.

E sim, o "K" em "KHTML" significa "KDE".
