'''Project Name:''' Enhancement to peer-to-peer DBus for Telepathy DBus Tubes<br />
<br />
'''A _Brief_ Description''' Telepathy is a modular framework for real-time communications that handles voice, video, text, file transfer, and so on. It makes extensive use of the D-Bus messaging bus and a modular design. When an application connects to a peer to peer dbus tube, it must know what exactly to look for. Even When it registers for another object, the other side of the tube must know about it. So the ideas is to create a class that could ease the object to register and unregister on the DBus Tubes, and to provide you with an interface similar to the one as a DBus Server.<br />

'''Project Name:''' Improving Data Storage, Logs and adding DSO catalogs to KStars <br />
<br />
'''A _Brief_ Description''' My proposal aims at improving the way the data is handled inside KStars. All user data which is currently being fed by multiple text files can be consolidated into a SQLite database which also makes the data more manageable and resolves many issues. This will also let me improve drastically on the ability to create portable logs about sky objects with a detailed interface and storage. However, in cases where reading the text files (comma/space/colon delimited) is necessary, I shall create separate provisions for processing them which is robust, tested and reliable. I shall also target the way the sky objects are stored and referenced and transfer all those objects to another SQLite database to make the data more manageable.<br />

'''Project Name:''' Introduction of Context Action Based Layout and UI Improvements in Gluon Creator<br />
<br />
'''A _Brief_ Description''' Gluon Creator, as we all know is that wonder pen, that allows a gaming freak to wield his magic with click-and-go! The craze for game development has grown exponentially in terms of popularity in the last few years. For an open source lover, an obvious choice to start with is Gluon Creator. It would be so awesome, if everyone, from a novice to a professional feels elated and at ease while dealing with creator.<br />
<br />
The project caters to this by introducing a new Slideshow feature like the Startup tutorial in Qt creator, that acquaints the user with all aspects of the application. It also aims at introducing a Game Distribution Wizard, that will reform the way users can share and enjoy games! Finally, I will reform many parts of Gluon Creator's current UI layout,making it more context based,so that it is more informative and usable :)<br />
<br />
''' Status: ''' The slideshow has been completed. The welcome screen has now been modified to show all new options, and the old page based layout is now gone. Now I am working on the context based layout feature, that tracks current focus of Creator and applies all actions (cut/copy/paste/save and the like) correctly to whatever is in user's attention.<br />

'''Project Name:''' Multimodal Accessibility: Using Computer Vision to improve Speech Recognition in Simon <br />
<br />
'''A _Brief_ Description''' A major obstacle for command and control speech recognition systems is to differentiate commands from background noise. Many systems solve this by using physical buttons or certain key phrases to activate/deactivate the speech recognition. This project explores the use of computer vision to determine when to activate / deactivate the sound recognition using visual cues. For a media centre or robot applications, it would make a lot more sense to only activate the recognition when the user is actively looking at the screen/robot and is speaking something. This is strikingly similar to the day-to-day communication between humans! Face recognition can also be employed to provide different speech models for different people. In this way the media centre could adapt to different people in one household. <br />

'''Project Name:''' Gluon: Implementing Saving/Loading Gluon Engine's Game State <br />
<br />
'''A _Brief_ Description''' <br />
My project mainly involves providing effective ways to save the Gluon Engine's Game state. This is a feature that any game developer would like to provide. To implement this first requires serialization of the current scene of the game. My project takes this further, by creating basic scene graphs, to compare two scenes. That way, only the necessary data is saved. Also, variants of basic save/load APIs like checkpoints, level saves etc are to be built. I plan to follow up this GSoC project, with an implementation of a replay feature, that takes scene graphs further by using timestamps of events, and using deterministic prediction to minimize data and processing required.<br />

I also plan to add some more UI components like - dialogs, particles effect, transitions to the game to to make it more engaging and fun to play!<br />

'''Project Name:''' UPnP / DLNA plugin for digiKam (as a kipi-plugin)<br />
<br />
'''A _Brief_ Description''' In the gadget-centric world of today, people will love the ability to share their photographs, managed by digiKam over other media devices without duplicating the data. Users will always want to showcase their art work in digiKam over better media devices like a giant TV. DLNA is a relatively new technology developed by Sony Cororation, based on UPnP protocols, where you can share multimedia over your home network via a router. So after the plugin is made, it will allow digikam's discovery on all the media devices connected to the network (say, TV, pads, phones, etc) and enable sharing of images.<br />
<br />
''' Status: ''' Plugin is done. Working on devices except Sony Bravia devices. Debugging going on in coordination with HUPnP library writer, Tuomo Penttinen. Will add implementation option by miniDLNA (written by Justin Mggard) as well, to compare the perfomances and finally selecting one before releasing it into production in christmas edition.<br />

'''Project Name:''' Video Metadata Support in Exiv2 library<br />

'''Brief Description''' All recent digital-still camera devices provide video capture. digiKam must be able to manage these files as it do with images. digiKam can already play-back video and register files to the database, but it lack important metadata used to catalogue and sort items (as date, camera name, and all record conditions). To improve video files support, video metadata management done in background needs to be improved. This requires extensive work to be done on Exiv2 shared library, the back-bone of digiKam for photo metadata handling.<br />

'''Project Name: ''' Focus Tracking in KWin / KMagnifier <br />
<br />
'''Brief Description: ''' Currently the KWin zoom plugin and KMagnifier implement focus tracking using Kaccessible which only works for Qt/KDE applications. In this project I will change the existing code in the KWin zoom-plugin and KMagnifier to use DBus to connect with AT-SPI2 and fetch needed information about focused widget. Also I will identify and fix cases where common applications are not sending the focus events and correct accessibility problems in Qt's widgets as they emerge, for example Qt's tree-views.<br />
<br />
'''Status: ''' libkdeaccessibility extended, patches for KMag and KWin done to use libkdeaccessibility rather then kdeaccessible (not master yet till libkdeaccessibility is stable), fixes for Konsole done to proper track focus, work started on Dolphin (ItemViewNG based QAccessibleInterface). Also there is still a bug in KFileDialog (used for file open/save, seems focus tracking in lineEdit does not proper work). If there is time left once all that is done (and no more urgent issues show up) maybe looking at Fregl's patch for Plasma to extend it/make focus tracking proper working there too.<br />

'''Project Name:''' Add "What's Interesting..." feature to KStars.<br />
<br />
'''A _Brief_ Description''' Often beginner astronomers open up KStars, look around a bit, but then can't figure out what to do next. This project aims to make KStars more beginner friendly through a new feature called "What's Interesting..." This feature will consist of a QML based easy-to-use user interface that will suggest sky objects currently visible in the sky taking into account the equipment-wise and location-wise limitations/availability of the user. The user's experience level and interest in astronomy will also be taken into account, thus providing the beginner/intermediate user a more personalised experience.<br />
<br />
''' Status: ''' Done with designing the model-view architecture to show list of interesting sky-objects. Done with testing different algorithms to decide the visibility of sky-objects.

'''Project Name:''' New interface for Cantor<br />
<br />
'''A _Brief_ Description''' Cantor is a KDE application for mathematics. It uses various backend software to do the actual calculations, and strives to provide a common, intuitive and nice-looking interface. The design of the original interface had some limitations though, and it is the goal of this project to implement a new interface for Cantor. The first step is to reproduce the features (and the look&feel mostly, though some improvements are there) of the old interface. After that a couple of new features, such as a nice search&replace bar, are planed.<br />
<br />
''' Status: ''' Currently I still re-implement features that the old interface already has, but there is not much left to do for that.<br />

'''Project Name:''' Semantic desktop collection in Amarok<br />
<br />
'''A _Brief_ Description''' Nepomuk has been a great semantic framework in recent years with many applications like Dolphin using it for managing metadata associated with its files and resources. But Amarok, still doesn't make use of the existing framework which comes bundled with any KDE distro. So, the objective of the project is to develop a Nepomuk based collection backend for Amarok which is functionally equivalent to the existing embedded MySql backend. An earlier attempt to achieve this was made this in GSoC 2008, but it never went on to be implemented and bundled along with the Amarok package because of reliability and performance issues. This is another attempt to make use of the excellent Nepomuk framework in Amarok and make it more semantic.<br />

'''Project Name:''' Adding an Infinite Canvas / Wraparound mode for Krita<br />
<br />
'''A _Brief_ Description''' Krita focuses on texturing, matte painting and comics drawing. For texturing, the Krita image model needs to be expanded in two ways: First, the canvas needs to be made infinite, so the user can paint textures of any size without stopping, and second, a mode for creating tileable textures where painting strokes that go off the canvas, wrap over on the opposite side avoiding texture seams along the edges. Panning in this mode would essentially work just as an offset for the whole canvas to wrap around, allowing artists to check tiled textures for seams.<br />

'''Project Name:''' Implementation of Variable thickness lines in Calligra Karbon <br />
<br />
'''A _Brief_ Description''' One of the most fundamental basics of drawing is varying the width of your lines to show shape, form and perspective. Almost every line tapers at either end, and often gets thicker and thinner in different places as needed. For purely technical and histrorical reasons though, every vector program (Illustrator, Inkscape, Karbon etc) make curves all one hard width. Task is to create a variable width path shape / tool, much like the path tool, would allow drawing curves, but where each node could have its width set so that the line width changed smoothly from node to node. As Karbon is part of the Calligra suite, this would be beneficial to apps such as Krita,also.[http://community.kde.org/Calligra/Karbon karbon] <br />

<br />
'''A _Brief_ Description''' Telepathy is a modular framework for real-time communications that handles voice, video, text, file transfer, and so on. It makes extensive use of the D-Bus messaging bus and a modular design. When an application connects to a peer to peer dbus tube, it must know what exactly to look for. Even When it registers for another object, the other side of the tube must know about it. So the ideas is to create a class that could ease the object to register and unregister on the DBus Tubes, and to provide you with an interface similar to the one as a DBus Server.<br />

All user data which is currently being fed by multiple text files can be consolidated into a SQLite database which also makes the data more manageable and resolves many issues. This will also let me improve drastically on the ability to create portable logs about sky objects with a detailed interface and storage. However, in cases where reading the text files (comma/space/colon delimited) is necessary, I shall create separate provisions for processing them which is robust, tested and reliable. I shall also target the way the sky objects are stored and referenced and transfer all those objects to another SQLite database to make the data more manageable.<br />

'''Project Name:''' Multimodal Accessibility: Using Computer Vision to improve Speech Recognition in Simon <br />
<br />
'''A _Brief_ Description''' A major obstacle for command and control speech recognition systems is to differentiate commands from background noise. Many systems solve this by using physical buttons or certain key phrases to activate/deactivate the speech recognition. This project explores the use of computer vision to determine when to activate / deactivate the sound recognition using visual cues. For a media centre or robot applications, it would make a lot more sense to only activate the recognition when the user is actively looking at the screen/robot and is speaking something. This is strikingly similar to the day-to-day communication between humans! Face recognition can also be employed to provide different speech models for different people. In this way the media centre could adapt to different people in one household. <br />

<br />
'''A _Brief_ Description''' <br />
My project mainly involves providing effective ways to save the Gluon Engine's Game state. This is a feature that any game developer would like to provide. To implement this first requires serialization of the current scene of the game. My project takes this further, by creating basic scene graphs, to compare two scenes. That way, only the necessary data is saved. Also, variants of basic save/load APIs like checkpoints, level saves etc are to be built. I plan to follow up this GSoC project, with an implementation of a replay feature, that takes scene graphs further by using timestamps of events, and using deterministic prediction to minimize data and processing required.<br />

'''A _Brief_ Description''' Nepomuk has been a great semantic framework in recent years with many applications like Dolphin using it for managing metadata associated with its files and resources.

An earlier attempt to achieve this was made this in GSoC 2008, but it never went on to be implemented and bundled along with the Amarok package because of reliability and performance issues.

'''A _Brief_ Description''' One of the most fundamental basics of drawing is varying the width of your lines to show shape, form and perspective. Almost every line tapers at either end, and often gets thicker and thinner in different places as needed. For purely technical and histrorical reasons though, every vector program (Illustrator, Inkscape, Karbon etc) make curves all one hard width. Task is to create a variable width path shape / tool, much like the path tool, would allow drawing curves, but where each node could have its width set so that the line width changed smoothly from node to node. As Karbon is part of the Calligra suite, this would be beneficial to apps such as Krita,also.[http://community.kde.org/Calligra/Karbon karbon] <br />

'''Project Name:''' Enhancement to peer-to-peer DBus for Telepathy DBus Tubes<br />
<br />
'''A _Brief_ Description''' Telepathy is a modular framework for real-time communications that handles voice, video, text, file transfer, and so on. It makes extensive use of the D-Bus messaging bus and a modular design. When an application connects to a peer to peer dbus tube, it must know what exactly to look for. Even When it registers for another object, the other side of the tube must know about it. So the ideas is to create a class that could ease the object to register and unregister on the DBus Tubes, and to provide you with an interface similar to the one as a DBus Server.<br />

'''Project Name:''' Improving Data Storage, Logs and adding DSO catalogs to KStars <br />
<br />
'''A _Brief_ Description''' My proposal aims at improving the way the data is handled inside KStars. All user data which is currently being fed by multiple text files can be consolidated into a SQLite database which also makes the data more manageable and resolves many issues. This will also let me improve drastically on the ability to create portable logs about sky objects with a detailed interface and storage. However, in cases where reading the text files (comma/space/colon delimited) is necessary, I shall create separate provisions for processing them which is robust, tested and reliable. I shall also target the way the sky objects are stored and referenced and transfer all those objects to another SQLite database to make the data more manageable.<br />

'''Project Name:''' Multimodal Accessibility: Using Computer Vision to improve Speech Recognition in Simon <br />
<br />
'''A _Brief_ Description''' A major obstacle for command and control speech recognition systems is to differentiate commands from background noise. Many systems solve this by using physical buttons or certain key phrases to activate/deactivate the speech recognition. This project explores the use of computer vision to determine when to activate / deactivate the sound recognition using visual cues. For a media centre or robot applications, it would make a lot more sense to only activate the recognition when the user is actively looking at the screen/robot and is speaking something. This is strikingly similar to the day-to-day communication between humans! Face recognition can also be employed to provide different speech models for different people. In this way the media centre could adapt to different people in one household. <br />

<br />
'''A _Brief_ Description''' <br />
My project mainly involves providing effective ways to save the Gluon Engine's Game state. This is a feature that any game developer would like to provide. To implement this first requires serialization of the current scene of the game. My project takes this further, by creating basic scene graphs, to compare two scenes. That way, only the necessary data is saved. Also, variants of basic save/load APIs like checkpoints, level saves etc are to be built. I plan to follow up this GSoC project, with an implementation of a replay feature, that takes scene graphs further by using timestamps of events, and using deterministic prediction to minimize data and processing required.<br />

'''Project Name:''' Add "What's Interesting..." feature to KStars and make star-hopping user-configurable.<br />
<br />
'''A _Brief_ Description''' Often beginner astronomers open up KStars, look around a bit, but then can't figure out what to do next. This project aims to make KStars more beginner friendly through a new feature called "What's Interesting..." This feature will consist of a QML based easy-to-use user interface that will suggest sky objects currently visible in the sky taking into account the equipment-wise and location-wise limitations/availability of the user. The user's experience level and interest in astronomy will also be taken into account, thus providing the beginner/intermediate user a more personalised experience. Also this project aims to make the star hopping feature of KStars more usable by giving the user the option to specify equipment and location conditions.<br />

Task is to create a variable width path shape / tool, much like the path tool, would allow drawing curves, but where each node could have its width set so that the line width changed smoothly from node to node. As Karbon is part of the Calligra suite, this would be beneficial to apps such as Krita,also.[http://community.kde.org/Calligra/Karbon karbon] <br />

'''Project Name:''' Enhancement to peer-to-peer DBus for Telepathy DBus Tubes<br />
<br />
'''A _Brief_ Description''' Telepathy is a modular framework for real-time communications that handles voice, video, text, file transfer, and so on. It makes extensive use of the D-Bus messaging bus and a modular design. When an application connects to a peer to peer dbus tube, it must know what exactly to look for. Even When it registers for another object, the other side of the tube must know about it. So the ideas is to create a class that could ease the object to register and unregister on the DBus Tubes, and to provide you with an interface similar to the one as a DBus Server.<br />

'''A _Brief_ Description''' My proposal aims at improving the way the data is handled inside KStars. All user data which is currently being fed by multiple text files can be consolidated into a SQLite database which also makes the data more manageable and resolves many issues. This will also let me improve drastically on the ability to create portable logs about sky objects with a detailed interface and storage. However, in cases where reading the text files (comma/space/colon delimited) is necessary, I shall create separate provisions for processing them which is robust, tested and reliable. I shall also target the way the sky objects are stored and referenced and transfer all those objects to another SQLite database to make the data more manageable.<br />

'''Project Name:''' Multimodal Accessibility: Using Computer Vision to improve Speech Recognition in Simon <br />
<br />
'''A _Brief_ Description''' A major obstacle for command and control speech recognition systems is to differentiate commands from background noise. Many systems solve this by using physical buttons or certain key phrases to activate/deactivate the speech recognition. This project explores the use of computer vision to determine when to activate / deactivate the sound recognition using visual cues. For a media centre or robot applications, it would make a lot more sense to only activate the recognition when the user is actively looking at the screen/robot and is speaking something. This is strikingly similar to the day-to-day communication between humans! Face recognition can also be employed to provide different speech models for different people. In this way the media centre could adapt to different people in one household. <br />

<br />
'''A _Brief_ Description''' <br />
My project mainly involves providing effective ways to save the Gluon Engine's Game state. This is a feature that any game developer would like to provide. To implement this first requires serialization of the current scene of the game. My project takes this further, by creating basic scene graphs, to compare two scenes. That way, only the necessary data is saved. Also, variants of basic save/load APIs like checkpoints, level saves etc are to be built. I plan to follow up this GSoC project, with an implementation of a replay feature, that takes scene graphs further by using timestamps of events, and using deterministic prediction to minimize data and processing required.<br />

'''A _Brief_ Description''' Often beginner astronomers open up KStars, look around a bit, but then can't figure out what to do next. This project aims to make KStars more beginner friendly through a new feature called "What's Interesting..." This feature will consist of a QML based easy-to-use user interface that will suggest sky objects currently visible in the sky taking into account the equipment-wise and location-wise limitations/availability of the user. The user's experience level and interest in astronomy will also be taken into account, thus providing the beginner/intermediate user a more personalised experience. Also this project aims to make the star hopping feature of KStars more usable by giving the user the option to specify equipment and location conditions.<br />

<br />
'''One thing you learned:''' Apart of some programming techniques and that with kexi/calligra complexity is like with iceberg: you see only the top of it, I think that the most important is that I've learned how the community works, where to look for help and that people like to help. <br />
Ok, there should be one thing, but there is one other is also feel important: I've learned that lots of things is already written and that the "code" is somewhere there and is ready for use and/or learn from it.<br />

'''Aim of the project:''' The aim of my project was to extend KStars printing support in a way that will enable users to print finder charts with logging forms, containing multiple field of view snapshots and details about observed objects, in a way that ensures both customizability and ease of use.<br />
<br />
'''Status:''' All features from the proposal completed together with a few other features and fixes. Merged with master branch.<br />
<br />
'''What was great about GSoC:''' What's great about GSoC is that it enables people to start contributing to Open Source projects in an organized way: with clear objectives, timeline and someone that will follow their progress and help them, if it's needed.<br />
<br />
'''One thing I've learnt:''' Apart from the experience I've gained while working on actual coding, I believe my communication and project planning skills have improved. <br />

'''What was awesome about GSoC: '''<br/><br />
The GSoC is an excellent way to:<br />
* get into real coding if you have no experience<br />
* polish your coding skills<br />
* get to know skilled and awesome people in the community<br />
* get you further integrated in the KDE/Gnome community<br />
<br />
but mostly of all, it gives you the opportunity to show your love and dedication for the project you're working with which was my case as I was already contributing code to KDE-Telepathy before the GSoC started and used this opportunity to show off some cool ideas I had.<br />
<br />
'''One thing you learned: '''<br/><br />
Nothing is too hard to accomplish if you love what you do<br />

'''Project: ''' KDE Plasma Educational Desktop<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Project Description: ''' KDE Plasma Educational Desktop is aimed at school children who are in the 4th Grade or lower classes. It will enable the children access to great KDE EDU software through an easy to use and interactive desktop environment.<br />
<br />
KDE Plasma Educational Desktop will also provide an option to be remote controlled by the class teacher so that the children can only run the approved softwares on their desktops.<br />
<br />
It will also have an easy to use Application Launcher plasmoid which will be used by children to launch the applications.<br />
<br />
KDE Plasma Educational Desktop is a joint project of both KDE Plasma and KDE EDU.<br />
<br />
As soon as the desktop version is done, Tablet and Netbook versions will also be developed.<br />
<br />

<br />
'''What was awesome about GSoC: ''' There are a lot of things which were awesome in the GSoC with KDE:-<br />
<br />
1) I got to work on an actual project which will provide significant benefits to the students.<br />
<br />
2) I got to learn a lot and interact with all the Genius people involved in KDE.<br />
<br />
3) I learnt how to get help, how to communicate better with others and how to have fun KDE style ;)<br />
<br />
4) I also learnt that proper time and project management skills are crucial for a fruitful outcome!<br />
<br />
5) I am now a member of the community and will continue to contribute to make KDE even more awesome than it already is!<br />
<br />
6) Since this was my first time working for an Open Source organization, I learned a lot of the dynamics behind how Open Source software actually works!<br />
<br />
<br />
'''One Thing I learned: ''' Coding is just part of the process. Always understand the problem and then begin coding. Communication with your mentors and understanding and interpreting their guidelines correctly is a must! And the best way to learn new code is to add little debug/print statements all over the code so that you know which part does what exactly! And never ever ever assume anything, it will cost you precious time! :) <br />

'''What was awesome about GSoC:''' It's a great opportunity to work on what you like and what you want. You know, when you're doing what you like as your day job, it's a blessing for you. That's exactly what GSoC is about and what is awesome about it.<br />
<br />
On the awesome things about GSoC for KDE - being able to dive full time in a project I love and I believe in, that's what I found as the most awesome thing.<br />
<br />
'''One thing you learned:''' How important it is to be able to organize your time, especially when you're working at home. From the coding-side, I really learnt a lot, be it theoretical stuff, programming techniques and patterns etc. And lastly - I learned that KDE is a bunch of really cool people to which I want and proudly will belong to.<br />

'''Project:''' Desktop Synchronization For OwnCloud <br />
<br />
'''Brief Description:''' <br />
Drop a file in your laptop and have it automatically<br />
backed up in your own personal space on the web ! also have the file available<br />
from any device. Keep all the copies of your files up-to-date and sync'ed in <br />
all devices.<br />
That is in essence what this project aims to do.<br />
<br />
'''The Best thing about GSoC:'''<br />
1. You have a fixed task that you sign-up for, lesser confusion.<br />
2. Having an experience of GSoC gives you a first hand experience how<br />
you must approach any open source project to minimize the amount of time wasted<br />
(yours and others) and maximize the productivity and satisfaction of having <br />
finished the task you signed up for.<br />
<br />
'''What did you learn:'''<br />
1. Sending Regular Status Updates is very very important.<br />
2. Never under-estimate how large, seemingly simple ideas can grow into !<br />
3. Commit Regularly even if the change is something stupid. <br />
Very useful in providing status updates.<br />

'''Project:''' Multithreaded Tool Actions System for Krita<br />
<br />
'''Project Page:''' [http://socghop.appspot.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2011/dmitryk/11001 page]<br />
<br />
'''Goal''' Krita has two different subsystems accessing the image: tools and updating threads. The update process is safe (no two threads access the same pixel at the same time), but the tools are not owned by the scheduler, so they must use explicit locking to avoid collisions. I wanted to encapsulate the tools into job objects those will be stored in the same queue as updater's walkers. That would make the system safe so we'd be able to say "Krita is a truly multithreaded application"<br />
<br />
'''Status:''' Finished the design of all the four subsystems. Implemented Strokes Framework and Non-tool Actions framework. Ported the most important painting tools to the new frameworks. Now they work more smooth because actual image processing is done separately and asynchronously from the UI events. Porting of some of the tools is still pending.<br />
<br />
'''Awesome:''' It's always awesome to learn new things!<br />
<br />
'''One thing I learned:''' You always need to think over the design of new systems well before actual writing begins.<br />
<br />

'''The best thing about GSoC for me : ''' I am very excited that I had the opportunity to work on a real project. I know a lot of people that use Kate and it's great to be able to tell them : "You know that part? That feature? It was me who implemented it :D"<br />
<br />

'''What was awesome about GSoC:''' Do a project from the initial design to the program implementation and finally the program testing. It is a project that have all the parts, a complete project. I have full autonomy, though sometimes unexpected problems appear, I can't be more excited to go through all the parts.<br />
<br />
'''What I learned:''' Do tests while programming is very important, not write over all codes then do tests as I did. Good coding habit is not very hard to form, but is very usefully and greatly benefit. It is the first time for me to switch coding from Windows to Linux, not as hard as I thought.<br />

My work is to change that list into an interactive globe. The contacts will be pasted on their appropriate locations. So, next time when you want to talk to your friend in Zimbabwe, just turn the globe, zoom in a bit and click on his name which is showing him online in Zimbabwe.<br />
<br />
'''Goal''' To get an interactive contact list for Telepathy and its applications.<br />
<br />
'''Status:''' Completed pasting contacts on the map. Now, making it more interactive.i.e. click to chat.<br />

<br />
'''Best thing''' about SoK is, your mentor! mine is very supportive and patient. You get to learn loads. and since SoK is a shade more informal, i like it.<br />
<br />
'''What did you learn''' I am a beginner in programming and so i learnt a lot in terms of collaborative coding, different platforms. I learnt Qt, marble API and the Telepathy Architecture ( though haven't fully understood the Telepathy architecture yet :P )<br />

<br />
http://community.kde.org/GSoC/2011/Ideas#Project:_KStars:_Make_KStars_more_usable_to_the_scientifically-inclined_user<br />
<br />
'''Project ( Brief Description) : '''<br />
<br />
KStars is currently good for education and for the hobby sky-observer. For those interested in more scientific aspects of astronomy, KStars does not have features to offer, but definitely does have the right existing framework to support these.<br />
<br />
'''Goal : '''<br />
<br />
So the aim of the project was to fix the magnitudes that the comets were displaying. I fixed that after discovering that the formulae being used was all wrong. The AAVSO Light Curve Generator tool is not working and this project intended to fix that as well. But unfortunately due to a totally unresponsive website that has not been possible.Also recently discovered supernovae would be integrated into KStars and the user would be alerted of newly discovered supernovae. This can be extended to comets and asteroids as well.<br />

I always believed that one should always do what is enjoyable as work. SoK reinforced my faith in it. Apart from learning so much about programming I was also introduced to a community of really cool people, always ready to help.<br />

'''What was awesome about GSoC: '''<br/><br />
The GSoC is an excellent way to:<br />
* get into real coding if you have no experience<br />
* polish your coding skills<br />
* get to know skilled and awesome people in the community<br />
* get you further integrated in the KDE/Gnome community<br />
<br />
but mostly of all, it gives you the opportunity to show your love and dedication for the project you're working with which was my case as I was already contributing code to KDE-Telepathy before the GSoC started and used this opportunity to show off some cool ideas I had.<br />
<br />

'''Project: ''' KDE Plasma Educational Desktop<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Project Description: ''' KDE Plasma Educational Desktop is aimed at school children who are in the 4th Grade or lower classes. It will enable the children access to great KDE EDU software through an easy to use and interactive desktop environment.<br />
<br />
KDE Plasma Educational Desktop will also provide an option to be remote controlled by the class teacher so that the children can only run the approved softwares on their desktops.<br />
<br />
It will also have an easy to use Application Launcher plasmoid which will be used by children to launch the applications.<br />
<br />
KDE Plasma Educational Desktop is a joint project of both KDE Plasma and KDE EDU.<br />
<br />
As soon as the desktop version is done, Tablet and Netbook versions will also be developed.<br />

'''What was awesome about GSoC: ''' There are a lot of things which were awesome in the GSoC with KDE:-<br />
<br />
1) I got to work on an actual project which will provide significant benefits to the students.<br />
<br />
2) I got to learn a lot and interact with all the Genius people involved in KDE.<br />
<br />
3) I learnt how to get help, how to communicate better with others and how to have fun KDE style ;)<br />
<br />
4) I also learnt that proper time and project management skills are crucial for a fruitful outcome!<br />
<br />
5) I am now a member of the community and will continue to contribute to make KDE even more awesome than it already is!<br />
<br />
6) Since this was my first time working for an Open Source organization, I learned a lot of the dynamics behind how Open Source software actually works!<br />
<br />
<br />
'''One Thing I learned: ''' Coding is just part of the process. Always understand the problem and then begin coding. Communication with your mentors and understanding and interpreting their guidelines correctly is a must! And the best way to learn new code is to add little debug/print statements all over the code so that you know which part does what exactly! And never ever ever assume anything, it will cost you precious time! :) <br />

'''Awesome thing about GSoC: ''' It got me involved with KDE which I had been wanting to do since very long, and I'm now a proud KDE contributor ;)<br />
<br />
'''One thing I learnt: ''' You've got to be highly motivated and committed to become and remain a part of any FOSS community. The only motivation for me is my passion for programming, and KDE!<br />

'''a short project description or link to one:'''<br />
This project is intended to solve the tradicional lack of accessibility support of KDE applications by making KMail, Dolphin and Kopete are accessible.<br />
However, most of the work I've done has been in the qt-at-spi bridge (the bridge which allows Qt applications to be handled by accessibility tools) and Qt itself.<br />

'''What was awesome about GSoC:''' It's a great opportunity to work on what you like and what you want. You know, when you're doing what you like as your day job, it's a blessing for you. That's exactly what GSoC is about and what is awesome about it.<br />
<br />
On the awesome things about GSoC for KDE - being able to dive full time in a project I love and I believe in, that's what I found as the most awesome thing.<br />
<br />
'''One thing you learned:''' How important it is to be able to organize your time, especially when you're working at home. From the coding-side, I really learnt a lot, be it theoretical stuff, programming techniques and patterns etc. And lastly - I learned that KDE is a bunch of really cool people to which I want and proudly will belong to.<br />

'''Status:''' Finished the design of all the four subsystems. Implemented Strokes Framework and Non-tool Actions framework. Ported the most important painting tools to the new frameworks. Now they work more smooth because actual image processing is done separately and asynchronously from the UI events. Porting of some of the tools is still pending.<br />
<br />
'''Awesome:''' It's always awesome to learn new things!<br />

'''What was awesome about SoK ?''' ..<br />
<br />
Well first of all I got a chance to contribute to and be a part of such an awesome community..I went to the Desktop Summit in Berlin this year,hacked with my mentor and other people in the calligra team and yes...got to do a lot of coding in my holidays this summer! :)<br />
<br />
'''One thing you learned''' ....<br />
<br />
Well...internals of Calligra....now it won't take me much time to get accustomed while doing anything new.I fine -tuned my basics,learnt to meet up deadlines....learnt from my mistakes.And yes.....I got a feel of what industry-level programming is like :D<br />

'''Project: ''' KDE Plasma Educational Desktop<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Project Description: ''' KDE Plasma Educational Desktop is aimed at school children who are in the 4th Grade or lower classes. It will enable the children access to great KDE EDU software through an easy to use and interactive desktop environment.<br />
<br />
KDE Plasma Educational Desktop will also provide an option to be remote controlled by the class teacher so that the children can only run the approved softwares on their desktops.<br />
<br />
It will also have an easy to use Application Launcher plasmoid which will be used by children to launch the applications.<br />
<br />
KDE Plasma Educational Desktop is a joint project of both KDE Plasma and KDE EDU.<br />
<br />
As soon as the desktop version is done, Tablet and Netbook versions will also be developed.<br />
<br />

'''What was awesome about GSoC: ''' There are a lot of things which were awesome in the GSoC with KDE:-<br />
<br />
1) I got to work on an actual project which will provide significant benefits to the students.<br />
<br />
2) I got to learn a lot and interact with all the Genius people involved in KDE.<br />
<br />
3) I learnt how to get help, how to communicate better with others and how to have fun KDE style ;)<br />
<br />
4) I also learnt that proper time and project management skills are crucial for a fruitful outcome!<br />
<br />
5) I am now a member of the community and will continue to contribute to make KDE even more awesome than it already is!<br />
<br />
6) Since this was my first time working for an Open Source organization, I learned a lot of the dynamics behind how Open Source software actually works!<br />
<br />
<br />
'''One Thing I learned: ''' Coding is just part of the process. Always understand the problem and then begin coding. Communication with your mentors and understanding and interpreting their guidelines correctly is a must! And the best way to learn new code is to add little debug/print statements all over the code so that you know which part does what exactly! And never ever ever assume anything, it will cost you precious time! :) <br />
