We are a community of technologists, designers, writers
and advocates who work to ensure freedom for all people through our
software.
Because of this work we have come to value:
The KDE Manifesto
Open Governance to ensure engagement in our
leadership and decision processes;
Free Software to ensure the result of our work
is available to all people for all time;
Inclusivity to ensure that all people
are welcome to join us and participate;
Innovation to ensure that new ideas
constantly emerge to better serve people;
Common Ownership to ensure that we stay
united;
End-User Focus to ensure our work is useful
to all people.
That is, in pursuit of our goal, we have found these
items essential to define and stay true to ourselves.
From those values we derived the
benefits and
commitments of a KDE Project.
