<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi All<br></div><div>I am Ashish Madeti, 2nd Year Undergraduate student at LNMIIT Jaipur. I attended <a href="http://conf.kde.in">conf.kde.in</a> this year at DAIICT.<br>Before attending the conference, I was a complete newbie to open source development. I was reluctant even to start but the conference motivated me to contribute.<br>
</div><div>After struggling initially, I submitted few patches to Plasma Media Center. The community is very helpful and helped me in rectifying my mistakes. My interest further increased in PMC which made me to apply for GSOC. The PMC team, Shantanu, Sinny ,Sujith and Simon maintainer Peter Grasch helped me a lot with the implementation details and refining the proposal. As a result of which I have been selected in GSOC '14.<br>
</div><div>(Its a little late but) I would like to thank KDE India community for organizing a wonderful <a href="http://conf.kde.in">conf.kde.in</a> 2014 and the whole KDE community for giving me an opportunity to work with such nice people.<br clear="all">
