Cornelius Schumacher, President of KDE e.V. received the award on behalf of the KDE Community from Mathias Huber, Editor at Linux Magazine. The video of the award ceremony will be available on the Linux Magazine web site later.

KDE is delighted to receive the award. Hundreds of our volunteers dedicate hard work and passion to creating free software for end users and it is great to be recognized in this way. KDE's software runs on tablets and phones, Windows and Mac OS, but the core of what the KDE Community is doing is still focused on the Linux Desktop. Continuous work over many years has made KDE's Plasma the reliable choice of the majority of Linux Desktop users.
