Heena
Project Name: Porting plasmoids to plasma2
A Brief Description: A great advantage in porting it is reduce the code maintenance effort for the KDE community. The plasmoids written in QML will have considerably less code as QML allows the creation of fluid UIs in a powerful declarative way. The Javascript/C++ bundle efficiently handles all the back-end implementation, leaving the designers to concentrate on the animations and UI simplicity.

René Küttner
Project Name: An OpenGL SceneGraph for Marble
A Brief Description: Marble Virtual Globe is a nice project for working with maps. The software rendering is smart and works very well. However, there are some limitations with the software rendering that hardware accelerated graphics (like OpenGL) solves. This proposal is about a SceneGraph structure that will allow for abstracting the actual graphics scene from the rendering backend within Marble as well as grouping and rendering objects in 3D space.

Project Name: Extending Muon to different platforms
A Brief Description: This project is about supporting Muon on more platforms, which means writing backend plugins for it using PackageKit and akabei.

Project Name: Port digiKam Image Editor Canvas Classes to Qt4 Model/View
A Brief Description: Image Editor is one of the many reasons making digiKam such a cool application. Its core components for previewing images, ImageRegionWidget and Canvas, depend on Q3ScrollView, which is based on Qt3Support class. In the next Qt5, Qt3Support class will disappear. So it is necessary to port these classes to Qt4 model/view. Besides, this project can bring some new features of Qt4 model/view which will make Image Editor new features implementation a lot easier.

Nhu Dinh Tuan
Project Name: Exiv2 Cloud Ready Project
A Brief Description: Exiv2 reads and writes files on the local file system. These files can be memory mapped if this feature is supported by the host OS. With the increasing interest in "cloud" computing, it's become ever more common for files to reside in remote locations which are not mapped to the file system. Very common cases today are ftp and http. This project is to support http, https, ftp and ssh for Exiv2. The implementation provides bi-directional support (both read and write) with read-access being the first priority.
