Hello, I have been a Linux user ever since I got my own laptop and started dablling in programming. After a short period with Mint (and Cinnamon), I switched to KDE's software suite and have never looked back. I admire the work everyone involved has put into the project over the years, and how great the software has become. Plasma 6, for example, has been an incredible journey to watch (mostly through Nate Graham's amazing blog!), with an excellent payoff. Congrats to everyone! Since I use KDE software every single day, the thought of giving back to the project through technical contributions has been something I've always wanted to do, but never quite gotten into (though I started fixing a workspace OSD bug at some point).
I am a Computer Science student, currently taking a Master's degree in Portugal's top university. I have a strong passion for algorithms, data structures and high performance computing, having participated in many programming contests (nationals, SWERC, Google's now defunct competitions, etc) too. I have also some experience in contributing to open-source and working in software development teams. After carefully reading your approved ideas page, the ones that stand out more to me are:
* Improving Lokalize's suggestions (I'm a big supporter of quality i18n) * Sharing non-text clipboard content with KDEConnect (KC is an amazing and pretty unique tool) * Improve forms/javascript support in Okular (I think Okular is a great PDF reader already, but it does lack good forms support, something increasingly more useful nowadays) I am aware of the very tight deadline and that it may be hard to write a community-backed proposal now, but unfortunately I was only made aware of Google's program a couple of days ago. Still, I'm going to try my best to write a quality proposal until Tuesday. If you have any suggestions, please let me know! I'd love to further discuss these with you. Kind regards, ~tmpod PS: To all celebrating Easter (and not hehe!), I hope you have wonderful Sunday.
