Re: GSoC - Ktechlab and KDE?
Alexander Rössler
Hello all,I'm a Computer Science student from Brazil and I want to participate on the GoSC 2012.
Ktechlab is a very useful application in some subjects in the graduation, but it's most actual version does not support the new versions of KDE and QT.So I was thinking about revitalizing the Ktechlab, porting it to the QT and KDE 4, but Ktechlab don't belong to KDE.My question is:This project could be considered a KDE project, even though Ktechlab doesn't make part of it? And Could I send it to GoSC?Sorry for any grammar errors,
Thanks.

As far as I can see the developers are already working on a Qt4/KDE4 port.
The developer repositories ktl-j_ohny_b and ktl-zoltan_p both contain files
that indicate Qt4 style code (e.g. camel case includes).
Now, neither porting nor Ktechlab work in general are ouf of question IMHO,
however we would need one of its developers to be available as a mentor and
some additional guidance of what kind of work they would like to have done as
a GSOC project.
My suggestion is that you contact them, see if they are interested and if they
are ask them to contact one of our GSOC admins [1] or [2]
Cheers,
Kevin

Also, Since there will be four KDE-Edu developers in the LaKademy, in
Brasil, I think it's a very good thing if the student goes there to
show what he can do.
The event will be focused in Hacking, so there's no excuse.
besides that, I can mentor this project.
