	My strength lies in my dynamic learning and self motivated hard work. I am a 2nd year undergraduate of the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur where I am actively involved with the tech community and contribute to 2 research groups ([http://quadrotor-iitkgp.github.io/ 1][http://www.agv.iitkgp.ac.in/ 2]), 2 tech societies([https://www.robotix.in/team/ 1]), projects under professors and have participated in many competitions and hackathons apart from keeping my academics up. In these two years of my stay, I have learnt a great deal about time management. <b>All the professional level work we do has made me to realize realistic timelines for myself and my team.</b> Though I failed initially, but I am getting better. My work has been mostly in software RnD and autonomous robotics and hence <b>I have gained lots of experience about the process and its time consumption involved in converting an idea to finished product.</b> So, I have learned to plan my work and execute it efficiently.

	My project will add advanced ~~backup~~-~~restore,~~ cloud ~~sync and easy sharing features for the Sugar journal~~. The following are the features in detail:		My project will add advanced Sugar-server integration to increase the utility of available servers (XSCE or cloud). The following are the features in detail:
	#'''Add selective backup-restore:''' User can select part of the journal to be backed up or restored directly from within the backup page. Metadata for each Journal entry will store the list of dependencies and library objects, which will be downloaded again as needed (and, as available). <br /> <u><i>Why?</i></u> Backups will be specific and save unnecessary wastage of storage space. ~~Replace the ineffective way to store Journal images with the risk of running out of local space.~~ Teachers will be able to distribute ~~tutorials on activities~~ without hampering the existing Journal a student.		#'''Add selective backup-restore:''' <i>(Difficulty level: easy).</i> User can select part of the journal to be backed up or restored directly from within the backup page. Metadata for each Journal entry will store the list of dependencies and library objects, which will be downloaded again as needed (and, as available). <br /> <u><i>Why?</i></u>
	#'''Add system to backup and restore from school servers (XSCE):''' Now backup can only be stored and restored from devices, but this feature will add school servers to the options. <br /> <u><i>Why?</i></u> <br />		#*Backups will be specific and save unnecessary wastage of storage space.
			#*Teachers will be able to distribute specific Journal objects without hampering the existing Journal of a student.
			#'''Add system to backup and restore from school servers (XSCE):''' <i>(Difficulty level: medium)</i>. Now backup can only be stored and restored from devices, but this feature will add school servers to the options. <br /> <u><i>Why?</i></u> <br />
			#*If the school-servers are present, then they can be made an easy way to store and distribute backups among many.
	#*The existing (ds-backup) option on OLPC OS is not an effective method because it cannot be easily restored. (from what I understand)		#*The existing (ds-backup) option on OLPC OS is not an effective method because it cannot be easily restored. (from what I understand)
	#*As school servers are the ~~best common node~~ for ~~all~~ the ~~local~~ hardware ~~running~~ Sugar, ~~hence storing backups at such common location will increase its accessibility~~ by ~~many fold~~.		#'''Add cloud service:''' <i>(Difficulty level: easy).</i> In a few clicks, it will let schools to connect each student’s pc to a local cloud server or a third party cloud server as per the availability to sync the journal data at a central location.<br /><u><i>Why?</i></u> It will be easy for schools to let hardware be shared among the student batches as students can login to their account from any hardware and can still access his/her own journal. This feature will strongly support the "One to many concept" that can be implemented on Sugar. (concept discussed on GSoC 2016 idea page [https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Summer_of_Code/2016 link])
			#'''Easy sharing of Journal items based on above server frameworks:''' <i>(Difficulty level: medium)</i> When server frameworks like XSCE and cloud are available, their utility can be increased by adding features where children can share any item with each other in just few easy clicks. <br /> <u><i>Why?</i></u>
	#*The backups can be used by multiple types of hardware/platform running Sugar (OLPC pcs, Android, Sugarizer) seamlessly using school-server’s multi-platform support to the advantage.		#*The backups can be used by multiple types of hardware/platform running Sugar (OLPC pcs, Android, Sugarizer) seamlessly using school-server’s multi-platform support to the advantage.

Journal objects or libraries will be shifted if it can be shifted to the server. When any object will be needed, it will be downloaded and cached temporarily on the local storage. A method will be devised that will be looking for the objects that can be shifted to the server like, objects which are rarely used and those containing library items. The user will be able to set rules to manage the behaviour.
	~~#*"One to many concept"~~ that can be ~~implemented on Sugar. (concept discussed on GSoC 2016 idea page [https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Summer_of_Code/2016 link])~~
	~~#*The OLPC’s new “Infinity” modular computer. A student’s personal setup (Journal) becomes another module.~~
	~~#'''Easy sharing of Journal items based on above server frameworks:''' When~~ server ~~frameworks~~ like ~~XSCE~~ and ~~cloud are available, their utility can be increased by adding features where children can share any item with each other in just few easy clicks~~. The ~~GUI~~ will be ~~indifferent~~ to the ~~framework being used in the background even though it will provide options, if both are present at the same time~~.

	<u>Technologies:</u> I will use python and its libraries for the main backend along with GTK+ (GTK3) for the GUI and graphics generator like Inkscape for the icons. For the different server integration, I am planning to use use server specific cli, apis, libraries or scripts like “owncloudcmd” for ownCloud, “RClone” that supports many cloud services like Google Drive, Amazon S3, Openstack Swift / Rackspace cloud files / Memset Memstore, Dropbox, Google Cloud Storage, Amazon Cloud Drive, Microsoft One Drive, Hubic, Backblaze B2, Yandex Disk, The local filesystem ~~and tools like rsync for XSCE school-servers~~. I will also use polkit for permissions and symbolic links. If I finally use rclone for cloud sync, then I might learn and use go programming language (its written on) or use pexpect to run its cli.

	My strength lies in my dynamic learning and self motivated hard work. I am a 2nd year undergraduate of the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur where I am actively involved with the tech community and contribute to 2 research groups ([http://quadrotor-iitkgp.github.io/ 1][http://www.agv.iitkgp.ac.in/ 2]), 2 tech societies([https://www.robotix.in/team/ 1]), projects under professors and have participated in many competitions and hackathons apart from keeping my academics up. In these two years of my stay, I have learnt a great deal about time management. <b>All the professional level work we do has made me to realize realistic timelines for myself and my team.</b> Though I failed initially, but I am getting better. My work has been mostly in software RnD and autonomous robotics and hence <b>I have gained lots of experience about the process and its time consumption involved in converting an idea to finished product.</b> So, I have learned to plan my work and execute it efficiently.

	Another important fact is that <b>my college summer vacations lie in the period of 29th April to 24th July, during which I will be able to devote 100% of my work time as ~~GSoc~~ being my top priority</b> (8-9 hours a day and around 60 hours a week for 12 weeks) towards my contribution. Even though my college semester will start from 25th July, I will still be able to devote 40 hours a week due to a light semester. I also have a head start on the project I would be working on as <b>I have been involved with the Sugar code base since February 1st, added a new feature, fixed a bug and have made the prototype of two features ([https://github.com/ManashRaja/sugar/commit/e186d37182be8baf2feff0c6e3726a5e1b3753b6 1][https://github.com/ManashRaja/cloud-sync-demo 2]) I will develop in this project</b> apart from discussion about the project on IRC.
