A GSoC 2016 proposal for recreating modern and innovative websites for Sugar Labs main webpage, Wiki, Planet and Translation System

I. About You 1. What is your name? Juan Carlos Murillo Torres 2. What is your email address? jc@juancarlosmurillo.mx 3. What is your Sugar Labs wiki username? murillojohn 4. What is your IRC nickname on irc.freenode.net? murillojohn 5. What is your first language? (We have mentors who speak multiple languages and can match you with one of them if you'd prefer.) My first language is Spanish. I’m very fluent in English (595 TOEFL and lived in Boston for 1 year). 6. Where are you located, and what hours (UTC) do you tend to work? (We also try to match mentors by general time zone if possible.) I live in Monterrey, Mexico (UTC/GMT -6 hours). Since I will have no other commitment, my work schedule would be very flexible. I could be able to work during the morning (8 am – 2pm) or in the afternoon (2 pm – 8pm). In case a physical meeting is needed, I can openly plan a summer trip to New York. 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? During my career as software developer I have always worked on commercial and private projects at large companies and private institutions. I think I’m on the perfect time to start contributing to the community by working on open-source projects, and the Sugar Labs project is an ideal project to start my career as open-source contributor. I would like to start giving back to the community that has taught me a lot, and helped me unconditionally on my developments. There is no doubt, that thanks to the open-source culture we have seeing many exciting advancements in technology during the last years. It’s time to be a part of it!
