In case you missed it, the LXDE project is taking part of this year’s Google Summer of Code! I’m also very excited for the invitation to participate for the first time in the capacity of mentor!

"LXDE is an energy saving and extremely fast and performing desktop solution. It works well with computers on the low end of the performance spectrum such as new generation netbooks and other small mobile computers. LXDE is designed for cloud networks such as local freifunk clouds or the global Internet cloud. It can be built on top of various Linux distributions such as Ubuntu or Debian. It provides a fast desktop experience connecting easily with applications in the cloud and supports a wealth of programs, that can be installed with Linux systems locally. LXDE already supports many computer processor architectures including Intel, MIPS and ARM."

There are quite a few ideas already in the wiki page but we can always use more! :) Want to learn about LXDE and join a crew of hard working guys? Don’t just sit right there! Write down your ideas today!
