I'd worked on open-source project "Booking System"(https://github.com/rvirdiz/booking_system). From the last 10 months, I am using Ubuntu as my primary OS and that created my affection towards the world of Open-source. <br />
I'd worked on open-source project "Booking System"(https://github.com/rvirdiz/booking_system). Since approximately an year, I am using Ubuntu(GNU/Linux) as my primary OS and after exploring and knowing the power of open-source created my affection towards it. And I think GSoC is the good way for participating in open-source for some large and real-time project. <br />

'''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?'''<br />

The project 'Web Confusion' aims for teaching the kids web technologies like HTML and CSS interactively. As the web technologies are emerging and basics of web development, this project will also help children for sowing the seeds of creativity in them. By learning these technologies, kids will get help building their own website in the future.<br />

The project focuses on creating the tutorials in the forms of chapters. There are 3 chapters for both HTML and CSS. The chapters will further include levels, each level with its own small and easy to follow task. In this project, I'll be using HTML5 and CSS3 as planned. The reference guide to be used for creating the tutorials is Pocket HTML from http://goer.org/HTML. Also there is endless information can be found online about these and appropriate resources may be used after discussing with the mentor.<br />

'''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.

As being the Computer Science student, I needed some real-time project to work on for my 6 months training as I'll also learn a lot from it. As After finishing my end semester exams I will be completely free to devote as much time and efforts I can make. Because I'll be having my 6 months training after my exams and I'll be doing this project as full time. I am really confident that I'll finish my project before the deadline.<br />
Previously I've worked on a web-based project 'Booking System'. It is a web application. I, with one my classmate Raman, started the project under the mentorship of Sir H.S. Rai(who's mentoring BRL-CAD from previous GSoC's). It is a Django based web application. More information about this project can be found on github: http://github.com/rvirdiz/Booking_system. Hence I'd some experience with Django, Python, HTML, CSS, JavaScript and jQuery languages. This will surely help me in the future doing the project 'Web Confusion'. Beside learning these language during the project 'Booking System', I'd also learnt skills in Git(code revisioning), working in command-line interface, some Shell scripting etc. Before porting to Linux, I used to use Adobe Photoshop very much and I used to work it whenever I get spare time. But now I've also tried open-source alternatives. Hence, I have some graphic design skills that will surely help to create levels throughout the project when needed.<br />

While maintaining the code on Github with regular commits, I'll keep informing the community about my progress through the blog(mandeep7.wordpress.com), mailing list and/or IRC.<br />
