What does it mean to be a volunteer in an open source project? Insights from @webmink: https://the.webm.ink/on-volunteering

#KDE #software is many things: free, beautiful, performant, customizable. How about all of that plus #sustainable?

KDE adopts #SustainableSoftware as one of 3 overarching goals to focus on!

> Software has an impact on our future. It has an affect on #energy and #resource usage. KDE can deliver software which does this in a way which preserves #environment and society for us and future generations.
