[Owncloud] Kde-soc 2012

[Alessandro Cosentino]

(adding again Viraj's address, which got lost in the last replies)

Integration with Dolphin sounds cool!

Well, I don't think doing the project as Season of KDE student is a bad idea.
I was a Season of KDE student last year and I am happy with that decision.
First, under Season of KDE you are forced to structure more your
timeline and meet deadlines. After all, it's still a commitment.
Second, you get goodies and certificate (well, I actually still have
to get those :P). It might sound stupid, but somehow it's motivating
and it's something you can write on the CV.
Finally, it prepares you for next years GSoC.

Obviously, what matters mostly is inner motivation.
