GSoC weekly report – issue 11

Here I am again, this time from aKademy 2008 in Belgium. It is my first akademy and as an experience it was awesome. The best part was meeting the people behind the nicknames. The community is great and it’s huge. Over 300 people came to the event, what is overwhelming. I’ve learnt many things, talked to many experienced people who really knows what they are talking about.

The organization of the event was perfect, there were many interesting talks, it’s a shame I’ve had to miss some of them. The social event sponsored by Nokia and the boat trip today were really really awesome (free beer, free food, what else could you ask?).

The only bad thing was that it was not really very productive in terms of code but it was really helpful to meet some of the plasma guys who were really kind to me and helped me a lot.

What was also very cool was the n810 that Nokia gave to some of us (a lot of us). It has become the favorite toy arround akademy. It would be really nice to have amarok playing on one of those with an adapted UI for the touch screen. Maybe someday, who knows ?

As for the Summer of Code program, well, it’s coming to an end and I still have lots of things to do, what is making me feel a little bit worried. I’ll have keep coding after deadline (18th august) to go as further as I can.

No snapshots this week, sorry
