Hi,<br>
<br>I am Dinesh. I'm an undergraduate looking to spend my summer contributing full-time to (K)ubuntu via the Google<br>
Summer of Code by making A proper Smartphone managing suite for (K)ubuntu. <br><br> <span class="anchor" id="line-22"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-23"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-24"></span>Basically
i m interested in integrating the existing tools like obexfs,
opensync-syncml to make a proper smartphone managing software for
Kubuntu,as a part of my GSoC 2010 proposal. with this I aim to achieve
the basic tasks of syncing photos, music, videos and PIM data in the pre installed applications like gwen view, amarok , kontact with many
smartphones over USB or Bluetooth. Also, since using a phone as a dial
up modem via bluetooth is still a tricky task, i aim to add this feature too... what i wont be
doing is adding things like sending sms, dialing numbers from PC. At the very least
this project will be useful for atleast 50% of the smartphones in the
market.(statistics from wikipedia: symbian has 50% market share). Even
though i aim to shoot a moving target, with the market share of the
phones changing rapidly, this project will still be useful to a great
majority of people, and the remaining platforms like iPhone, Android
etc.. can be made to support these protocols(if they already dont) by writing native phone
applications.<br>
<br>
You can see what I have planned at my wiki page:<br><a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GSoC/2010/Dinesh">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GSoC/2010/Dinesh</a><br>
<br>so please review my proposal, so that i can add it to the official ideas list of ubuntu<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>Dinesh<br>
