We have archived the Dot -- because we have something better now
The Dot has served the KDE Community well as a the source of news for all our projects and contributors.
But, as KDE has grown, the amount of news has grown with us, to the point it has become impractical to filter it all through one source.
Check out our solution:

KDE provided the software that allowed to recover machines that had been obsoleted by the successive updates from Microsoft Windows, and this made possible for the CACD to carry out the program.

We provided support and advice so that the teens could familiarise themselves with open source software, saving them from being trapped in the proprietary cycle of buy new hardware, update, be forced to buy new hardware, update, rinse and repeat.
