Re: KDE and Google Summer of Code 2018

Yes, Jan 23 is the deadline for the Org application. Of course we can continue to add, edit and tinker around the edges until the students begin to apply. But we want a lovely list by the 23rd. -v On Wed, Jan 17, 2018 at 9:18 AM, Roman Gilg wrote: > Hi, > > Valorie, do we have until 23rd with pr

While we're at it, let's not only re-work existing KCMs, but try to take the opportunity to simplify and consolidate where possible. For example, the Launch Feedback KCM consists only of two checkboxes that could easily be moved elsewhere (the cursor part into the Cursors KCM, and the Task Manag

Hi, Valorie, do we have until 23rd with project ideas? I didn't want to mentor this year because I only was a GSoC student last year, but since there are not yet many ideas from Plasma/KWin I might do it anyway. Nate, I want to get a rework of the Wayland Mouse KCM already into Plasma 5.13. But t

Hi, Valorie! I have just edited the list of Krita ideas, now we have 8 ideas, 4 of which are low-hanging fruits with localized optimizations of the code. I hope that will help people who do not want to learn all half-million lines of Krita code. Speaking truly, I think I understand why there

Hi, on GCompris side, we hope/plan to mentor 2 students like last year. I updated the page to add one more task. Regarding the events: this year, we were planning to skip SoK to focus more on GCi and GSoC, having the 3 events is too consuming and do not allow us to progress on our main tasks. The

Re: KDE and Google Summer of Code 2018

I'm very discouraged to see so little movement on this. After skipping GCi this past fall, are we now also considering skipping GSoC? Or downsizing the number of students we are mentoring? Without Ideas we will not get students. More important, we must complete the Org application soon, and the Id

Hello GSoC mentors, and teams supporting mentors, TL;DR: Fill out https://community.kde.org/GSoC/2018/Ideas; read https://community.kde.org/GSoC. Now. Every year, we've asked for more time to get ramped up for GSoC, and so now is the time for organizations to apply[1]. We have begun to write our
