Hi Bruno,
I agree it probably requires some resources we don't have at the time, even
if it would be nice to be there...
Thanks for sharing!

<div>Hi,<br>
<br>
GCompris is used by many organizations to help children in
emergency situations. I am not personally involved in such project
but for sure we all appreciate that our hard work helps these
children.<br>
<br>
I just received the following proposal. I don't know anything more
about this project than what is publicly available [1].<br>
<br>
I am not very motivated by this kind of competitions, It usually
implies a lot of overhead just to manage the contest and it is
hard for us to respect deadlines. Anyway, I would like your input,
do you have ideas to propose and would you be interested in
participating in a such event.<br>
<br>
I cross post to KDE-Edu as it may be of interest for other
projects.<br>
<br>
Bruno.<br>
