@merthyr1831 @kde
We asked a designer to make a logo we could use for the Plasma 6 CAMPAIGN, not for Plasma 6 itself.

We asked for something that would remind people of the Plasma logo (a folded piece of paper with three dots), but that also looked like a 6. This what they came up with.

So no, not the new Plasma logo.

Sorry.

@kde@floss.social avatar

@merthyr1831

We also used it in an animation - but, again, only in the context of the campaign.

Plasma 6 Release Candidate 1 has landed.

We are less than 50 days away from the final version of .

Along with Frameworks 6 and KDE Gear 24.02, the Megarelaease on the 28th of February will be one of the biggest and more complex upgrades in KDE's history.

One more RC will be released on the 31st of January and then it will be (hopefully) clear sailing until the final release.

Happy Holidays everyone! (II) We reached 500 members 💰🎅🏽!

Thanks for all your support!

https://kde.org/fundraisers/plasma6member/

We are immensely grateful to all those who donated. Your generosity will keep KDE running another year.

We have added two stretch goals, one will help us fund new designs for Plasma and our apps. The other will keep basic services running, and contribute to growing our userbase beyond the FLOSS-o-verse.
