+=== KDE on FreeBSD
+

+Contact: Adriaan de Groot <kde@FreeBSD.org>
+
+The KDE on FreeBSD project packages CMake, Qt, and software from the KDE Community, for the FreeBSD ports tree.
+The software includes a full desktop environment called KDE Plasma (for both X11 and Wayland) and hundreds of applications that can be used on any FreeBSD machine.
+The mailto:kde@FreeBSD.org[KDE team] is part of mailto:desktop@FreeBSD.org[desktop@], building the software stack to make FreeBSD beautiful and usable as a daily-driver graphical desktop workstation.
+
+We missed a quarter, while the broader KDE community celebrated the KDE Megarelease of KDE Frameworks 6, KDE Plasma 6 and KDE Gear.
+The latest software is still not available on FreeBSD, pending more testing and some integration work.
+
+==== Infrastructure
+
+CMake was updated several times and is now version 3.29.6, the latest upstream release.
+CMake in the ports framework now supports setting parallel-build for tests.
+
+Qt5 is now on long-term support and updates only rarely.
+An update to 5.15.14 and WebEngine to 5.15.17 was landed in May.
+
+Qt6 and the Python bindings for Qt, Pyside, were updated to version 6.7.2.
+
+==== KDE Stack
+
+KDE Gear, Plasma and Frameworks release happen very regularly.
+These updates arrive in the FreeBSD ports tree only piecemeal, due to lagging work on compatibility and testing.
+
+* KDE Frameworks reached version 6.3.0
+* KDE Plasma 6 Desktop was updated to version 6.0.4
+* KDE Gear 6 has not yet arrived in the ports tree
+
+==== Related Ports
+
+The KDE ecosystem includes a wide range of ports -- most maintained by mailto:kde@FreeBSD.org[kde@], all building on a shared base of Qt and KDE Frameworks.
+The mailto:kde@FreeBSD.org[KDE team] updates them all as needed.
+This quarter the KDE team would like to thank mailto:tcberner@FreeBSD.org[Tobias C. Berner], mailto:arrowd@FreeBSD.org[Gleb Popov] and mailto:jhale@FreebSD.org[Jason E. Hale] again for keeping things up-to-date.
