Project: Integration of kde-telepathy with the plasma workspace

Karan Pratap Singh

Project: KDE Plasma Educational Desktop


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.

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.

It will also have an easy to use Application Launcher plasmoid which will be used by children to launch the applications.

KDE Plasma Educational Desktop is a joint project of both KDE Plasma and KDE EDU.

As soon as the desktop version is done, Tablet and Netbook versions will also be developed.

Screenshot 2: http://kpsfoo.in/blog/gsoc-update-after-a-looong-time-2/containment_1/


What was awesome about GSoC: There are a lot of things which were awesome in the GSoC with KDE:-

1) I got to work on an actual project which will provide significant benefits to the students.

2) I got to learn a lot and interact with all the Genius people involved in KDE.

3) I learnt how to get help, how to communicate better with others and how to have fun KDE style ;)

4) I also learnt that proper time and project management skills are crucial for a fruitful outcome!

5) I am now a member of the community and will continue to contribute to make KDE even more awesome than it already is!

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!


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! :)

GSoC Project: Single Canvas presentation mode in Calligra Stage

Presentations, the (new) Stage way (With links to screenshots, video with a demo of the feature)

Sample presentation (used for my project presentation at the Desktop Summit)

GSoC for me, was awesome because...

With this project I started my contribution to open source software that I use and like. A summer put to good use, implemented a feature I like, worked with great developers, earned for the first time, attended the Desktop Summit in Berlin and now feel part of the awesome KDE community - what more to ask for!

One thing I learnt

Believe in yourself and ask when you are not sure. They are awesome people out there, who started just like you.

Project: Panorama Stitching Assistant for Digikam (Kipi Plugin)

GSoC Idea Link: KDE Wiki

Short Description: The goal is to develop an assistant that is able to use the command line tools from Hugin to process photos to be stitched into a panorama.

Awesomeness of GSoC: Giving the motivation and a timeline to achieve a tool that I will be using in the future (and that I and the community was missing).

One Thing Learned: How to develop a kipi plugin.
