Hi Guys,

I want to take part in the GSoC, and was advised (on the KDE Forums) to post 
my question on this mailing list.

The thing is, I would very much like to take part in GSoC this year.  But, as 
a student finishing his first year, I've only had very limited exposure to C++ 
as all my courses are Java based.

This is primarily why I'm so late in responding to GSoC, as I thought I would 
simply leave it for next year when I've got a stronger programming background.

But then, I realized there is a project that I could potentially attempt with 
Java:

What I would like to do, is write an Android app that acts as a remote for my 
KDE Desktop.  We've currently set up a Kubuntu machine to connect it to our TV 
where it serves as a home server, media center and to display presentations 
during business meetings.

What I'm envisioning, is a simple android app, that would let me switch 
between activities from my Android device, and then launch an app or document 
that has been associated with that activity.  And perhaps add the ability to 
change the volume or cycle through open windows.

The GSoC recommendations are that I contact a mentor to discuss my 
idea/proposal with them.  But, as I'm proposing an Android app, I'm not really 
sure who I should contact... Can someone please point me in the right 
direction?

Regards,

Stephan Goosen
