<div class="gmail_extra">I agree with michael's idea and it would be great to have inter instance collaboration along with other extensions to OCS API . Would love to build use cases for the whole project with Bartek and Frank. Just some date problems because I have my lab exams now and end semesters from May 7 but I will be free from May 25. <br>
So what is your take on this?<br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Apr 24, 2012 at 9:24 PM, Alessandro Cosentino <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:cosenal@gmail.com" target="_blank">cosenal@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Integration with Dolphin sounds cool!<br>
<br>
Well, I don't think doing the project as Season of KDE student is a bad idea.<br>
I was a Season of KDE student last year and I am happy with that decision.<br>
First, under Season of KDE you are forced to structure more your<br>
timeline and meet deadlines. After all, it's still a commitment.<br>
Second, you get goodies and certificate (well, I actually still have<br>
to get those :P). It might sound stupid, but somehow it's motivating<br>
and it's something you can write on the CV.<br>
Finally, it prepares you for next years GSoC.<br>
<br>
Obviously, what matters mostly is inner motivation.<br>
