KDE Software is a very large, diverse and complex code base and the KDE Community has developed many policies and processes to make the KDE Software development process manageable, which are documented elsewhere in TechBase. As you become more involved in KDE Development, you will need to become familiar with them, as well as any policies specific to the projects you are contributing to, but for your first few patches you will not need to worry about most of them.
