Thats a bummer for me. Anyway I'll still digg Krita regularly. 

I have installed Kubuntu 13.04 as of now, initially was planning to deploy 
Arch but since my net is not 100% up, Kubuntu should do. Infact its pretty 
stable and work well.

Have no idea of Season of KDE but anyway my main aim is to learn and 
contribute. So I'll get started asap.

I'll build Krita from source in a few days. Will ping you "guys" incase of an 
issue. 

BTW can you point me to relevant source and reading material for building 
Krita and getting started with QT. It'd be great if you can do that.

Looking forward to working with you guys asap.
