Season of KDE 2010 (KDE.News)

KDE.News has a rundown on the projects that seven students worked on as part of the "Season of KDE" (SoK) initiative. Now in its fourth year, SoK provides mentoring for students who were unable to get into the Google Summer of Code. "Finally, Yuvraj Tomar worked on analyzing and improving KDE startup time. The first step was to analyze what was slowing down startup. When the research and analysis was done, he had some discussions with his mentors and with KWin and kdm developers, and then started coding. His results are pretty clear: on a test machine, startup went from about 30 seconds to barely 19. That's a remarkable improvement!"
