(Not directly KDE related, though likely of interest to many of you here :) Sorry for the noise to the rest of you!)

Long time no blog! Just wanted to draw your attention to this neato competion my (new) employer (Mendeley) is currently running; a chance to flaunt awesome KDE technology in the face of academia and rake in some nice cash:

Mendeley API Binary Battle!

Basically, you register for an API key and then make some neat hacks/apps! Grand prize is 10k $! Second place is 1k $ + a quadrocopter! Tons of money!

Register for an API key. Use a nice library like kQOAuth for the oauth stuff, then hack away!

Of course, when I saw this I immediately thought of a couple of neat mashups/plugins possible with existing KDE apps  - but alas, employees may not enter - so I leave it to you!

Good luck and happy hacking :)
