I was instrumental in introducing Linux in my undergraduate CS department back in 2001. I have been wanting to contribute to Open-source ever since. I had dreamed of making significant contributions when I quit my corporate job and joined an NGO as the IT manager. But my time there was spent in developing and deploying the IT infrastructure using 100% Open-source software (Plone, Django, Zope, MySQL, Apache, TeX, Ubuntu). I have had this deep desire to contribute. This would turn to guilt especially when I would be awed by some feature in the Open-source software that I use (Primary OS Linux since 2002). I am back in school doing my CS masters and I think this summer, this SOC would pave way for me to take the role of a Open-source developer and community contributor.

I am back in school doing my CS masters now and I think this summer, this SOC could pave way for me to finally take the role of a Open-source developer and community contributor.

# 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.
