GSoC Alumni Camp Delhi 2026

The nature of KDE Linux, in which the whole system ships as a single signed image rather than a pile of packages, is (in theory) wonderful for reliability. However, this raises an uncomfortable question: how do we make sure that image actually works before we ship it to people? OpenQA is the answer! Read More
