Ans : This would be my first tryst with the Open source. Aspiration comes with ability; since a last few months I have been learning python and have been working on small utility scripts for myself, for college projects. Have worked on college fests as well, And now I think with proper channelized efforts, I might actually pull off an open source project. Open source is democracy in software, and it certainly would be a privilege to contribute back to the open source community.

As stated already, the system promotes the student-teacher interaction and the student-student collaboration in a natural and instinctive way yet reduces the workload. The effort and time a teacher would spend in preparation of flash cards or overhead projection sheets would be heavily reduced.Similarly children are saved from the toll of copy the lessons in their notebooks, it would happen all by itself.

Q.2 : '''Sugar Labs will be working to set up a small (5-30 unit) Sugar pilot near each student project that is accepted to GSoC so that you can immediately see how your work affects children in a deployment. We will make arrangements to either supply or find all the equipment needed. Do you have any ideas on where you would like your deployment to be, who you would like to be involved, and how we can help you and the community in your area begin it?'''

Ans : My mother is a teacher in the school I passed out from. I believe, that would be the place where I would like to test the project. The various faculty members and the Principal can be contacted and be asked for a trial run in one of the classrooms or computer Lab once necessary environment has been ported into the machines.
