KDE Conf. Last Day

Today we reached little bit early as it was the last day designated as code-sprint. Delegates and developers were sitting in the conference room and discussing problems. Some batches had "My First KDE App" and "Squash the Bugs" workshops. I went for Squash the Bug which was taken by Abhishek Patil. I was supposed to help during session, but I made a mistake (without looking for the error I simply ran 'make clean' ); so he got angry and I simply said sorry (yeah, it sometimes work). Well in this workshop we had to add a functionality (using keyboard shortcut zoom-out) in Gwenview (Image viewer for KDE). Abhishek told us how to proceed for a bug and gave some useful url for kde-bugs. After that we had lunch. Then we went to conference hall and I asked about QFile problem to Vishesh Handa and pyinotify problem to Nikhil Marathe. Then Shantanu sent me to help Anne-Marie Mahfouf during "Squash the Bug" session but very less students were there, so Anne demonstrated how to make a patch and what is the importance of version control and also how one can contribute to KDE. At last she gave us her business card and also I was able to take some group pics :) . Then we went to KDE - booth and collected our certificates. We finally met all the speakers before coming back. It was a awesome experience  to meet all the KDE community whom I knew only through IRC. Thanks to Pradeepto for implementing his conference idea into reality. Hats off to all the speakers and volunteers for their great work. YaY we got some cool KDE badges and fedora badges also :) .
