MBition Becomes KDE's Newest Patron

MBition becomes a KDE patron and supports the work of the KDE community with its generous sponsorship.

MBition designs and implements the infotainment system for future generations of Mercedes-Benz cars and relies on KDE's technology and know-how for its products.

"After multiple years of collaboration across domains, we feel that becoming a patron of KDE e.V is the next step in deepening our partnership and furthering our open-source strategy“ says Marcus Mennemeier, Chief of Technology at MBition.

"We are delighted to welcome MBition as a Patron," says Lydia Pintscher, Vice President of KDE e.V. "MBition has been contributing to KDE software and the stack we build on it for some time now. This is a great step to bring us even closer together and support the KDE community, and further demonstrates the robustness and hardware readiness of KDE's software products."

MBition joins KDE e.V.'s other patrons: Blue Systems, Canonical, g10 Code, Google, Kubuntu Focus, Slimbook, SUSE, The Qt Company and TUXEDO Computers, who support free open source software and KDE development through KDE e.V.
