Content:

All you should put here is a link to your application on our wiki, such as http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Summer_of_Code/Student_application_template . If you consider any of the following information private, you can include it here instead; otherwise, just erase the following.

About you

  1. What is your name?
     Luciano Jesus Palomino Jauregui
  2. What is your email address?

  3. What is your Sugar Labs wiki username?
     jesusjpj
  4. What is your IRC nickname?
     LucianoP
  5. What is your primary language? (We have mentors who speak multiple languages and can match you with one of them if you'd prefer.)
     Español
  6. Where are you located, and what hours do you tend to work? (We also try to match mentors by general time zone if possible.)
     UTC / GMT - 5 h
  7. Have you participated in an open-source project before? If so, please send us URLs to your profile pages for those projects, or some other demonstration of the work that you have done in open-source. If not, why do you want to work on an open-source project this summer?

About your project

  1. What is the name of your project?
     Shortcut Helpers
  2. Describe your project in 10-20 sentences. What are you making? Who are you making it for, and why do they need it? What technologies (programming languages, etc.) will you be using?


  3. What is the timeline for development of your project? The Summer of Code work period is 7 weeks long, May 23 - August 10; tell us what you will be working on each week. (As the summer goes on, you and your mentor will adjust your schedule, but it's good to have a plan at the beginning so you have an idea of where you're headed.) Note that you should probably plan to have something "working and 90% done" by the midterm evaluation (July 6-13); the last steps always take longer than you think, and we will consider cancelling projects which are not mostly working by then.


  4. Convince us, in 5-15 sentences, that you will be able to successfully complete your project in the timeline you have described. This is usually where people describe their past experiences, credentials, prior projects, schoolwork, and that sort of thing, but be creative. Link to prior work or other resources as relevant.   	

My experience developing Simulator Game Wars Tarapaca (which use Python and GTK), how close I am to implement the project with OLPC Sugar (The kids in my province are benefiting from OLPC) and ease of purchase that I have knowledge makes it a potential candidate to complete this project.


  5. What is your t-shirt size? (Yes, we know Google asks for this already; humor us.)
     medium
  6. Describe a great learning experience you had as a child.
  7. Is there anything else we should have asked you or anything else that we should know that might make us like you or your project more?

The children in my country and especially my department are among the beneficiaries of this project so I would put my bit and bring more functionality to Sugar for children to be more efficient with the use of this tool. That will be an additional stimulus for me.
