Short description: The QtComponents project is aiming to provide an api and a series of widget sets completely based upon QML. the actual implementation is platform-dependent, so KDE needs its own platform specific set made with the plasma theming mechanism,for both the desktop and the mobile.

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.

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! :)

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 ;)
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!

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: Multithreaded Tool Actions System for Krita
Project Page: page
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.
Awesome: It's always awesome to learn new things!
One thing I learned: You always need to think over the design of new systems well before actual writing begins.

What was awesome about GSoC: I was welcomed into the ownCloud community and I was included in decisions about the design and components of ownCloud outside of my own GSoC work. I had a lot of fun and made money for my college education.
What I learned: I learned a lot about using git for version control and using classes and objects in php.

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. The requirements are simplicity and easiness: the assistant should allow the user to open Hugin only in some special cases like non standard projection.
Screenshot(s):
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.

What was awesome: Everything :) Especially having one project with strong support of the communuity and no discussions after two weeks of work about whether this feature should be merged into the project at all.
What I've learned: Motivation can replace quite a big part of the qualification needed for a project :)
