From the past...
Summer of Code...hehe my entry was not selected but worked on this [http://nitingupta.mail.googlepages.com/livingkde-idea IDEA (Living KDE)] by Sachin Gupta (MailTo(sachingupta107 AT gmail DOT com)) which got selected.
[http://websvn.kde.org/branches/work/soc-livingkde SVN Branch]: http://websvn.kde.org/branches/work/soc-livingkde/ The idea is great and this is just a 'proof-of-concept'. This implements labelling feature (as is provided by GMail) for [http://kmail.kde.org/ KMail]. Looking to Integrate this idea in a broader sense to KDE4....
CIFS VFS: [http://nitingupta.mail.googlepages.com/patch-2.6.8-cifs-multithread.diff Patch for CIFS VFS module ](Linux kernel 2.6.8) that improves network file copy performance from server (CIFS) by 10-15%. Sends multiple read requests to server in parallel instead of sending one request and wait for its response before sending next request as is done currently. This is done by starting multiple threads with each one fetching data at different file offsets.
