GSoC 2013 has only just been announced and we are currently creating the list of ideas for GSoC which will be available as soon as KDE is accepted as a participating project. In the mean time I strongly suggest you read the KDE guide [1] first and get familiar with KDE and its various projects as much as possible. To be able to select a particular project you need to be quite familiar with it, so make sure you learn as much as possible in the mean time, mostly by using KDE and reading the documentation of the various projects. Getting not only familiar with the project but also get some first coding experience and getting acquainted with the KDE developers is a strongly recommended, so please have a look at the Junior Jobs in Bugzilla [2] You should also subscribe to the KDE SoC mailing list [3] where all announcements regarding GSoC will be made. Some important information regarding KDEs GSoC planning can be found on the KDE Community wiki [4] [1] http://flossmanuals.net/kde-guide/ [2] http://tinyurl.com/JuniorJobs-KDE [3] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-soc [4] http://community.kde.org/GSoC If you have never worked on Free Software before, here is some important background information as well as some additional reads we recommend: About Free Software: [5] How to ask questions and communicate: [6], [7] and [8] Some basic mailing list and IRC etiquette: [9] and [10] [5]: http://www.fsf.org/about/what-is-free-software [6]: http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html [7]: http://www.shakthimaan.com/downloads.html#i-want-2-do-project-tell-me-wat-2-do [8]: http://whathaveyoutried.com/ [9]: http://www.kde.org/support/mailinglists/ [10]: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/IRC/beginners.html Regards, Myriam -- Proud member of the Amarok and KDE Community Protect your freedom and join the Fellowship of FSFE: http://www.fsfe.org Please don't send me proprietary file formats, use ISO standard ODF instead (ISO/IEC 26300) >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
