Three KDE GSoC students from India this time

Hi

We've got three new additions to the KDE India team this summer!

Kashyap Puranik - will be adding a 'Molecular Calculator' feature to
Kalzium. Kashyap has been contributing to Kalzium for the past four
months. He initially started by refactoring code in widget that plots
periodic trends and has now added cool features like the 'Play'
feature on the periodic table, that visually represents changes that
happen to the elements as some parameter changes with time. For
instance, thanks to Kashyap's work, you can see the elements of the
periodic table melting and becoming gases as the temperature increases
slowly. Kashyap's blog at http://kashthealien.wordpress.com/
highlights some of his work for Kalzium. He is currently pursuing
BTech, Computer Science (completing 2nd year now) at IIT Madras.

Kaushik Saurabh - will be working on a conversation logging framework
for KDE, and will be integrating Telepathy into KDE this summer. He's
pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science (3rd year) at PESIT,
Bangalore. [I hope I got that right!]

Prakash Mohan - will be adding an observation planner to KStars this
summer. Prakash has been a contributor to KStars / KDE for quite a
while. His favourite way of contributing is by building KDE every now
and then and reporting build errors :). That apart, he recently added
support for calculating Lunar Eclipses (more generally, 'Oppositions')
in KStars. He's currently pursuin a BTech in Aerospace Engineering
(finishing 2nd year) at IIT Madras.

In addition to the three GSoC students here, we are expecting a few

Heya :)

for those who didn't see it yet:
http://blog.lydiapintscher.de/2009/04/20/announcing-season-of-kde-2009/
I am so far really happy with the number of students who replied. But
please feel free to actively approach students who you wanted to get
accepted but weren't able to because of slot shortage. Not all of them
might have seen it yet or think they are not good enough.

Cheers
Lydia

Re: intro

Sorry, I had sent vignesh a private reply which should have been to the
list.

Anyway, it went something like:
WoW! Now that is 4 KDE hackers from PESIT.

We really should have a PESIT KDE Hackathon.

Hi Vignesh

Since Leo is your 'mentor' through this programme, there's nothing
more to do. Just keep in touch with him and start rocking.

If you need to build KDE, you could take Gopala's / Tejas' help and
follow the article on techbase.kde.org

> do i need 2 remail kde-soc-mentor@...?  can any 1 help me out on

Not required. Just keep in touch with your mentor, bond with the
community and start coding :)

Re: SoK 2009
