New to Plasma !

[Adwait Sharma]

Hello all !

I attended the conf.kde.in in Bangalore, India this year and I am feeling
very happy to inform you all that it's now been more then a year since I'm
using Kubuntu :)

I have now decided to contribute to the community. I'm contributing in FOSS
since last 3 years and conducted many conferences, hackathons, fixed bugs
etc etc..but for KDE, I am new. After a long search in the project list and
with the help of Lydia Pintscher, Karan Pratap Singh and Dinesh Sai I have
selected Plasma from the project list.

Can someone please guide me from where should i start and how? :)

Thanks and regards,
--

i'll ask you the same thing i always ask people who ask me this:

What interests you?

if you work on things that interest you, you are more likely to succeed and to
keep at it longer.

that said, there are a number of things that could use more people working on
them. there are individual plasmoids, for instance, which could use a lot more
love. and those are a great place to start as they are small and self-
contained.

converting plasmoids to QML is another area of need.
adding features or cleaning up features that exist in Plasma Desktop or
Netbook is also a fine place to start.

there are lots of task suggestions here:

http://community.kde.org/Plasma/Tasks

and lots of bugs on bugs.kde.org to examine as well.

but if i were you, i'd start looking around at what exists and asking
yourself: "what would i really like to work on improving?"

then post your proposal here and we'll help you get working on it!
