KDE Joins Google's Summer of Code
=================================

   KDE has joined Google's Summer of Code
[http://code.google.com/summerofcode.html] programme.  If you are a
student looking to get into KDE development this is the perfect
opportunity.  We have a list of rules and suggested projects
[http://developer.kde.org/joining/googlecodeofsummer.html].  The
deadline is soon, June 14th, for a completed proposal and you will
probably need a week of communication first to ensure a good proposal
for Google, so move quickly.

     Unfortunately due to a mis-communication KDE was not among the
initial list of projects involved in the Summer of Code scheme. 
Congratulations to the fast moving KDE community for fixing the
situation quickly.

     If you would like to join please e-mail bounties at kde.org using the
format listed at the bottom of our suggested ideas page
[http://developer.kde.org/joining/googlecodeofsummer.html] to let us
help you working out your application for final submission to Google. 
The projects listed on that page are ideas only.  There are some more on
this Google Bounties wiki page
[http://wiki.kde.org/tiki-index.php?page=Google+Bounties], but you are
welcome to come up with your own ideas.  All projects need an
established KDE contributor as a mentor.

     We look forward to welcoming the Summer of Code students into the
KDE developer community.
