[KDE-India] [X-POST] Any students wanting to develop KStars?

[Akarsh Simha]

Hi

As some of you might know, Google has this interesting initiative for
students, particularly those inclined towards Computer Science and
Software Development, called the Summer of Code. (See
http://code.google.com/soc/2008/). It's an initiative to sponsor
students working on Open Source software.

The KStars project (http://edu.kde.org/kstars) would be happier to
accept students who:
1. Are amateur astronomers
2. Have excellent programming skills
3. Are already users of KStars

Why these criteria? Because as an amateur astronomer and a user of
KStars, you will be enjoying the benefits of your own work and at the
same time bettering the application (and at the same time earning
credit).

If there are any of you interested in applying this summer, please
contact me over personal email. (Avoid flooding the group with email -
not a good idea)

Regards
Akarsh
