Hello Leonardo,

KDE still hasn't be accepted in Google Summer of Code this year. However
here are some useful information:

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]

[2] http://kde.org/jj
[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]

[6]: http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

[8]: http://whathaveyoutried.com/
[9]: http://www.kde.org/support/mailinglists/
[10]: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/IRC/beginners.html

However, I think it's better if you discuss your idea with the Kig team
(which is part of KDE Edu), maybe creating a draft of a project proposal,
and, if well suited, post it on the KDE GSoC 2013 idea page on the kde
wiki. [11]

My personal advice is to write to their mailing list and/or ask and discuss
on IRC channel, keeping in mind that kde could still not be accepted to
GSoC 2013.
