* '''Project Name:''' KDE Connect for Windows

** Albert Vaca Cintora

* '''Solution Description:'''  KDE Connect is an application to sync your connected devices. Some of the features of KDE Connect include:-
** sync mobile and desktop device notifications
** send and receive files between devices
** mobile device as a presentation remote
** clipboard on both devices
** mobile device as keyboard and/or mouse.


KDE Connect also supports plugins that extend the utility of KDE Connect, like- pausing the music or other playing media on a desktop if the mobile device starts ringing, preventing desktop from going to sleep if a device is connected, et al. All these plugins can be fully controlled by the user.

KDE Connect for Windows currently builds using Craft, but has a lot of problems and is currently not suitable for an official release. This project aims to release a port for Windows OS, by fixing the existing plugins accordingly to also support Windows OS, adding system integrations and publishing the official build to the Windows Store.

Plasma Mobile requires cloud-based sharing to provide scalability and flexibility, cost efficiencies and access to data anytime, anywhere. Nextcloud is a data-sharing platform, which is not only free and open-source but highly secure and easy to use. It is in the interest of Plasma Mobile to implement complete Nextcloud Integration.
The system will implement a bidirectional data synchronizer to keep the local data and the data on the Nextcloud server in sync.


By the end of this project, we should have a release-able installer shipped to the Windows Store for review.

Nextcloud Integration on Plasma Mobile

Mentor

Bhushan Shah

Summary

Plasma Mobile requires cloud-based sharing to provide scalability and flexibility, cost efficiencies and access to data anytime, anywhere. Nextcloud is a data-sharing platform, which is not only free and open-source but highly secure and easy to use. It is in the interest of Plasma Mobile to implement complete Nextcloud Integration. The system will implement a bidirectional data synchronizer to keep the local data and the data on the Nextcloud server in sync.

Proposal : GSoC Proposal - Nextcloud Integration on Plasma Mobile

Project Goals

1. Add a plugin to implement nextcloud account service.

2. CardDav and CalDav synchronization of accounts added by KAccounts using Sink.

3. Add the contacts synchronized by Sink to the KPeople datasource and hence, accessible to Plasma-Phonebook app.

4. Create a plugin to make calendars and events synchronized by Sink accessible to Calindori app.

5. Create a plugin for files/folders/photos synchronization.
