Hello kdeveleop-developers,<div><br></div><div>I'm an electronic engineering student form Austria and I like to apply for kdevelop on GSoC. I am using kdevelop as my preferred development environment for C and so I would like to help you improving kdevelop at GSoc. I have a lot of experience with Qt/C++, KDE and Linux and I am also OpenSUSE ambassador for Austria. As you can see, I'm not new to the open source community. If you like to see my current Qt project visit: <a href="http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/PhyxCalc?content=149161">http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/PhyxCalc?content=149161</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>I like your GSoC ideas for kdevelop, but I have following to add: When I developed PhyxCalc I came to one point, where I had to deploy my application for several Linux desktops. As I am a OpenSUSE user, I knew the Open Build Service very well. So I deployed my application via the build service, however, it was quite a pain to get everything working. New developers, especially developers coming from Windows, might be deterred of the deployment of applications on Linux (without the build service it is even more a pain). So I found this on the internet: <a href="http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/2890">http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/2890</a> This plugin is not developed any more (and wasn't finished anyway), but I think it would be nice if kdevelop would have such a plugin. Especially for small projects this would be perfect, it would make deploying applications for Linux easy (and even improve the success of the open source community).</div>
