I've started a small project on freshmeat called statusPidgin that fetched text from various sources and made it a status message in Pidgin. It's now abandoned, but you can find the source [http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Communications/Chat/statusPidgin-31896.shtml  on softpedia ]<br />

I have also released one of my school projects as open source (a small web imap/pop3 client), but I doubt it's still hostet anywhere. You can get it from [http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/317039/easymail.zip my dropbox]. I haven't contributed in a significant way to open source projects before, beside bug reports and small patches. <br />

I am especially interested in the Sugar project, as I have myself experienced the closed-mindedness that schools instill in their students by teaching them using closed source software. I have been fortunate enough to get some exposure to linux and kde early enough and I would like to help others by showing them the alternatives.
