I'm one of the board member of the KDE e.V. I'm super pleased to see this news finally out in the public and that the German government decided to strategically invest in KDE and open source in general. If anyone has a question about this, shoot away.

Super great news. KDE created the best desktop environment there is and so many awesome free software. Great to see governments supporting it. More governments should stick to the Public Money means Public Code.
