While they made a lot of accomplishments and worked a lot on KDE Plasma 6 development, it was another year they unfortunately operated in the red funding wise. The 2023 KDE annual report is now available for those interested. KDE accomplished a lot of great software development work on Plasma 6 last year as well as various conferences and developer sprints. Unfortunately though they again spent more than they took in for revenue during the year. KDE 2023 finances overview KDE during 2023 took in 349,332.65 EUR while their expenses totaled 457,071.31 EUR. Most of the KDE income is from KDE patrons / corporate sponsorships and supporting members and donations. While they took in 349k EUR last year, on personnel costs alone they spent 317k EUR in 2023, another 43k on the Akademy conference, 12k on springs, 20k on other events, 22k on taxes/insurance, and 17k on infrastructure. KDE in 2022 saw 285,495.97 EUR in income while spending 384,604.78. Back in 2021 meanwhile KDE saw 238,929.67 EUR in income while spending just 218,396.75 EUR. Hopefully with the likes of yearly KDE desktop reminders for donations (that are opt-out) will help in their funding efforts. Those interested in the KDE 2023 annual report can read it on ev.kde.org. 36 Comments Tweet Related News Kdenlive 24.08 Video Editor Offers UI Improvements, Better Performance KDE Desktop Will Remind You Yearly For Donations, Other Changes For Plasma 6.2 KDE's Calligra 4.0 Office/Graphics Suite Released With Improved UI & Qt6 Port KDE Lands Per-Monitor Brightness Controls & Better KWin HDR Tone Mapping KDE Gear 24.08 Brings Many App Enhancements & New Features KDE Implements More Wayland Bits, Lowers Bug Count To Match Plasma 5 Stability About The Author Michael Larabel Michael Larabel is the principal author of Phoronix.com and founded the site in 2004 with a focus on enriching the Linux hardware experience.
