Four years passed since January 2017, the month of the first KDE Slimbook computer release. This idea was the result of several months of brainstorming, sharing common ideals and concepts with the KDE team.
Since Slimbook’s birth in 2015, we always believed that adding and contributing to the community should be among our top priorities, and having KDE by our side on this quest for all this time, has been nothing but a pleasure and an honor.
Our target never was meant to give a small percentage of our sales since the first KDE computer was sold, but to learn together, improve and give our best to the end user and the market needs. At this point, it was just a matter of time and a duty for us to take on a bigger economical donation and become actual KDE Patrons.
This will place our trademark besides tech giants such as Canonical, Google and SUSE. This is a big feat for a small Spanish business like ours and we are honored to be part of something like this. But enough talk. Like uncle Ben once said: “With great power comes great responsibility”, so let’s use this power to evolve and keep improving.
