[gcompris-devel] Gcompris KDE SoC Application

[Kesha Shah]

Hi Karan,

Thank you for applying for GCompris under Season of KDE, but I am afraid
that you missed the deadline by a day. Extended student submission have
already been closed. We appreciate your interest, your efforts and time you
invested uptil now. :)

However, its great that you want to start contributing to open source at an
early age in your career, being a student. We invite you to have
contributions to GCompris and step into the world of open source and will
do our best to help you in future.

Regards,
Bruno Coudoin
