From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
If you are particularly annoyed by a bug or missing feature with the KDE desktop, there's a new and easier means of advertising your interest in sponsoring work to get a bug or feature addressed.
Similarly for experienced KDE developers a more centralized means of finding sponsored work opportunities.
board member Nate Graham has announced the creation of a "Sponsored Work" section of the KDE forums.
as a donation -- for addressing a particular bug/feature as well as a place for KDE developers to find about bug bounties or other particular work they could pursue for typically a small amount of dollars/euros.
With this new category just being launched, so far the KDE Sponsored Work doesn't have any open listings.
Those interested in more background information on the new KDE Sponsored Work area can see Nate's blog for all the details.
