On the other side of cloud

The KDE e.V. sent me a message told me that I will continue my working on KNotes in “Season of KDE 2006″. Michael Blade told they were planing such a kind of thing several weeks ago, now it’s finally announced.

This year KDE has participated in Google Summer of Code program. You were one of the candidates who had sent their proposals to Google under KDE’s mentorship.Google does only support a small selection of the project proposals mentored by KDE. Sadly, your application was not selected in this process.

However, we think that your project proposal was very interesting and had potential to become an important part of the KDE development. Thus, we offer to mentor you without the help of Google in the “Season of KDE 2006” .

We do not have the same financial means like Google does. Thus, we cannot promise you a “reward” for a successful completion of your project. We will, however, try our best to gather sponsors for this event to be able to invite you to this year’s akademy - the annual KDE conference - at Dublin. If nothing else, the Season of KDE 2006 will be a brilliant opportunity for you to become a part of the KDE community while being mentored by an experienced KDE developer that is open for all your questions.

What is out of my expect is there may be no T-shirt but a chance to take part in “aKademy 2006″! Oh, goddness me… Let me calm down for a while…

By the way, I found there are two Chinese person’s project was accepted in KDE Projects of “Google Summer of Code 2006″ : Commenting tools for KPDF by Xiaodong Chu, and QQ - A new protocol for Kopete by Hui Jin.
