We have [https://matrix.to/#/#kde:fedoraproject.org Matrix] and libera.chat IRC ({{fpchat|#fedora-kde}}) rooms.
The KDE SiG can be found in [https://matrix.to/#/#kde:fedoraproject.org Matrix].
 
As of 2023-08-06 14UTC, the two rooms are not bridged together anymore thus writing a message to IRC will not reach Matrix users (and vice versa). Note that a lot of KDE SIG members and KDE developers have moved to Matrix thus the IRC channel is likely to get less  attention and we recommend joining via Matrix. See [https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/matrix-to-libera-chat-irc-bridge-unavailable/ Matrix to libera.chat (IRC) bridge unavailable].

Fedora KDE Special Interest Group

Mission

The KDE SIG (Special Interest Group) is a group of Fedora contributors that maintain KDE packages in Fedora, as well as the KDE Spin and Fedora Kinoite. Their mission is to provide high-quality, usable KDE software packages to Fedora users and developers, and to support one another in maintaining those packages.

Communication

Weekly meetings

The KDE SIG conducts meetings on Mondays at 1300 ET, with a meeting duration of 1 hour. These take place on KDE's BigBlueButton instance. In here, we discuss issues and improvements related the KDE software stack on Fedora, especially those that are filed on our issue tracker. We mostly communicate using voice chat, and some of us will share camera feeds. There is also text chat if you prefer that. The meeting calendar can be found online and you can add its iCal to your calendar software for weekly reminders.

Communication channels

The KDE SiG can be found in Matrix.

Issue and progress tracking

For more formal proposals, bug reports, suggestions, etc, we have a Pagure issue tracker.
