GSoC: Porting of Amarok to Qt5/KF5

[Aroonav Mishra]

Hello all,
My name is Aroonav Mishra(IRC nick: roguedragon) and I am currently a
sophomore
studying in IIIT Bhubaneswar, India. My end-semester exams just got over
yesterday and I can now give my complete time to the project mentioned
below.
I would like to thank everyone for giving me this chance to work.

The project involves the porting of Amarok media player to Qt5/KF5.My
mentors
are Mark Kretschmann and Myriam Schweingruber. It initially also included
the
port to Plasma5 but even without it the project is pretty big for the 3
month
GSoC time-period. In these 3 months I hope to do a substantial part of the
porting after which the porting to Plasma5 can be done.

I will be posting on my blog(link to http://binaryspring.blogspot.in/) about
the progress of the project. Links specific to the GSoC project can be
viewed
at: http://binaryspring.blogspot.in/search/label/gsoc/

I am still a rookie here and I hope to learn a lot during the project. I
look
forward to a very productive future and an even more productive summer along
with the open-source community.

Cheers
Aroonav
