Season of KDE 2011 - I'm in !!

It feels great to be a part of Planet KDE! :)

I had submitted a proposal titled "Clone Tool for digiKam image editor" for Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2011. Unfortunately, my proposal was not accepted. The results of GSoC and details of Season of KDE (SoK) 2011 came in together. I was still interested in working on digiKam so I planned to apply for SoK and spoke to some digiKam contributors. Marcel Wiesweg agreed to mentor me on a project - Face Recognition in digiKam.

I have been involved in some open-source projects only limited to use, evangelizing and bug reporting, but it will be my first time to actually contribute as a developer. In the coming months, I have lots of hacking to do. I shall post more on this in a while.
