Hi
== About Me ==
I am a student contributor to Sugar Labs, currently focusing on the GTK4 and Wayland migration for the core Sugar ecosystem, alongside continued contributions to Music Blocks. I am participating in Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2026.

=== GitHub ===
* GitHub Profile: [https://github.com/Inuth0603 Inuth0603]
 
I maintain a "code-first" approach, with 32 pull requests authored and maintained across five different Sugar Labs repositories.
 
==== GTK4 Core & Fructose Migration ====
 
'''[https://github.com/sugarlabs/calculate-activity/pull/81 calculate-activity#81]''': Migrated Calculate to GTK4, replacing Gtk.Table with Gtk.Grid and implementing EventControllerKey.
 
'''[https://github.com/sugarlabs/log-activity/pull/23 log-activity#23]''': Authored initial GTK4 port for Log Activity using semantic CSS and Gtk.Box append APIs.
 
'''[https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar/pull/1074 sugar#1074]''': Ported core desktop shell keydialog to GTK4, migrating window lifecycle methods to present().
 
'''[https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-toolkit-gtk4/pull/14 sugar-toolkit-gtk4#14]''': Fixed critical Graphene NameError crash during snapshot rendering.
 
'''[https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-toolkit-gtk4/pull/23 sugar-toolkit-gtk4#23]''': Implemented dynamic SVG asset resolution for standalone activity testing.
 
'''[https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-toolkit-gtk4/pull/15 sugar-toolkit-gtk4#15]''': Corrected mathematical logic errors in core toolkit time formatting.
 
'''[https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-toolkit-gtk3/pull/502 sugar-toolkit-gtk3#502]''', '''[https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-toolkit-gtk3/pull/501 #501]''', '''[https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-toolkit-gtk3/pull/500 #500]''': Modernized legacy GTK3 infrastructure and CI build pipelines for Ubuntu 24.04 compatibility. This involved backporting security fixes and Python antipatterns from GTK4, resolving documentation build failures, and correcting mathematical logic errors in core utility modules.
 
==== Music Blocks ====
I have merged 12 PRs and currently maintain 10 active PRs for the Music Blocks project, focusing on rhythm logic and UI responsiveness.

! Activity !! Status !! Tier !! Notes
|-
| Calculate || In Progress || Tier 1 || Pre-GSoC port bulk completed; finalizing Gdk.Texture rendering for svgimage.py and clipboard exports.
|-
| Log || In Progress || Tier 1 || Initial port completed; resolving Python 3.8+ time.clock() crashes and migrating os.popen to subprocess.
|-
| Chat || Planned || Tier 1 || Migrating RoundBox Cairo rendering to Gtk.Snapshot; updating smiley picker to Gtk.TextBuffer.
|-
| ImageViewer || Planned || Tier 1 || Replacing custom zoom with native Gtk.GestureZoom and Gtk.GestureDrag; modernizing Gtk.Scrollable.
|-
| Browse || Planned || Tier 2 || C-Binding: Migrating to WebKitGTK 6.0 and Evince 4.0. Async: Replacing synchronous JS execution with GLib.MainLoop callbacks.
|-
| Read || Planned || Tier 2 || C-Binding: Migrating EPUB engine to WebKitGTK 6.0 and PDF/DjVu engine to Evince 4.0.
