Thank you very much. This will hopefully direct more students to the CPD 
projects.

Probably you will also get some students who want to do something with 
KDE, apply for one of your project ideas but you decide for another 
student. Do not turn away these students, offer them the CPD projects as 
alternative.

You can also copy the CPD project ideas into your ideas list and if the 
students apply through your mentoring org, we can also mentor them 
through your org, you simply need to make us also mentors for KDE. We 
already have one project which is posted in both OpenPrinting and 
OpenICC. Very important with duplicate postings is that the applications 
at the different orgs get visible to the mentors of the other org, so 
that the best of the applications to both orgs will get taken.
