Hello all,
For those of you that don't know me, I'm an old kde-telepathy &
telepathy-qt developer who's been inactive in telepathy for a couple
of
years. Recently I've been looking again into what is going on in this
project and it looks like it's dead, which is a pity. However, I can
see
there is some limited activity around telepathy-qt, with some people
writing new Qt-based CMs (cool!). This little activity makes me hope
that maybe it's possible to revive the rest of the project?
I'm basically writing this email to declare my interest in attempting
a
revival. I think free communication is quite important and it's being
neglected a lot recently in the FOSS world, which motivates me enough
to
spend some time again in this project.
As a start, I would like to get in touch with all of you who are still
working on something related to telepathy. It would be nice to start a
conversation about project needs and future plans. So, if you are
interested, please get in touch. I am 'gkiagia' on irc and various
other
places on the internet.
George, thanks for being proactive about this
Several students are participating as part of GSoC this year, under the
umbrella of the Debian project
One thing that would help a lot is increasing the pool of mentors, some
students are sharing a mentor at the moment. If you or anybody else
with C, C++ or Python experience can volunteer as a mentor, please
contact me privately.
Another thing I would encourage is joining the Free-RTC mailing list,
that is where we discuss some of the more strategic possibilities with
free software, not just limited to Telepathy:

Hello Daniel,
Great to hear from you. I've heard about the GSoC projects and I'm very
happy that you managed to get those students to work in Tp. Being
around, I will sure try to answer questions from students, if I can.
Also thanks for letting me know about the Free-RTC mailing list. I have
now subscribed there as well.
Regards,
George
