+
+The Qt 6 based KDE Frameworks 6 (KF6) development is ongoing since some time.
+
+Already many things including Plasma and several applications, like Kate, have working KF6 based development versions.
+
+KDE contributors did meet this week online for planning the final release time-frames.
+
+We came up with [this current plan](https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-devel/2023-September/002008.html):
+
+> Frameworks / Plasma/ Gear Release Schedule Plan
+>
+> Following on from the last Akademy we checked where we were with our
+> development progress in a meeting and settled on the following plan
+> for all 3 major parts:
+>
+> - In KDE Gear master will be open for Qt6 code to land for those
+>   ready to move. Not all apps need to port.
+>
+> - The KDE Gear release will move by 2 months to allow for the extra
+>   time needed for testing initial Qt6 changes
+>
+> - An Alpha will be made in November  (a soft freeze in Plasma terms)
+>
+> - Betas/RCs will be made throughout December and January (3 releases,
+>   3 weeks apart)
+>
+> - Final release of all 3 major parts in sync in February
+>
+> Due to the delay of KDE Gear by an additional patch release of 23.08
+> will be made.
+
+This is still up for discussion, but if no objections come up, we will see a triple release of a first stable KF6, KF6 based Plasma and KF6 based Gear next February.
+
+There is still a lot to do, [help is welcome](https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved)!
