Please stay subscribed and read your mail from this list. We (the admins) will not be mailing you individually with important information; this list is critical.<br>
<br>
That said, if you need to contact the admins privately, please write to <a href="mailto:kde-soc-management@kde.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">kde-soc-management@kde.org</a>. We'll do our best to help you out.<br>
<br>
If your fellow students ask for help here, please lend a hand. The KDE community works because people step up and do what needs to be done. We want you to be an active part of the community.<br>
<br>
Besides the KDE-devel ML, which most of you have probably already subscribed to, you may wish to join the KDE-Community list as well. There you will find out about how to attend Akademy this September, and how to apply for travel funding. We'd love to meet you there!<br>
<br>
However, now is the time to ensure that your blog is working, and that you have added it to KDEplanet. Spend your time getting acquainted with the codebase you'll be working with, sketch out the outlines of your documentation, and as you do your research, begin writing unit tests. These best practices help you lock in your timeline, and let you start coding fully confident of your direction. <br>
<br>
This is the bonding period, so let's bond!<br>
<br>
All the best,<br>
<br>
Valorie, for the KDE GSoC admin team<br></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Any questions?</div><div><br></div><div>Valorie </div></div></div></div>
