About Me
What is your name?
Deshraj
What is your email address?
deshrajdry@gmail.com
What is your Sugar Labs wiki username?
Deshrajdry
What is your IRC nickname?
deshrajdry on freenode
What is your primary language?
(We have mentors who speak multiple languages and can match you with one of them if you'd prefer.)
English and Hindi
Where are you located, and what hours do you tend to work?
(We also try to match mentors by general time zone if possible.)
I am located in Noida, India 5:30+GMT. I usually tend to work approximately from 10:00 am to mid night.
Have you participated in an open-source project before?
If so, please send us URLs to your profile pages for those projects, or some other demonstration of the work that you have done in open-source. If not, why do you want to work on an open-source project this summer?
Till now, i haven't done any Open Source Project but I am deeply interested in making contribution to a open source project since this concept enables every developer to learn new things and to contribute to any software to enhance its quality and also his own developing skills.Its an easy way to spread knowledge across the world.
About My Project
Project Description
What is the name of your project? 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?
Port To Python3 is a project that ports the current Sugar to Python 3. Firstly, disussing with the Mentors for the strategy for writing Python 2/3 compatible source or a pure port. .Then I would be porting the Sugar Core to Python3 using 2to3 or modernize package. Since there is requirement of the latest technologies for every software so I would work as fast as i can so as to port it to Python3. After that, if any of the bugs that will be remained then they will be fixed. Also I will be informing about my project from time to time to the organisation. Then, I will be porting one of the Sugar Activity to the Python3. And at last , the documentation for the porting guide for the Sugar Activities will be made.
Overall steps involved in my project,
- Discussion with the Mentors for pure port or Python 2/3 compatible source code.
- Porting to Python3
- Fixing of bugs if any remains
- Porting One Sugar Activity to Python3
- Preparing documentation for the Porting Guide of Sugar Activities.
The technologies that I would be using are Python,Gtk2,2to3 etc.

My Background
My Backround[edit] 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.
I’m studying Computer Science, 2nd year at JSS Academy Of Technical Education, Noida. I have a decent amount of experience in web development in Python and Web Frameworks like Django. I am a part of Nibble Computer Society(College Programming Club), in JSS Noida, which is a student body responsible for developing and managing all web related tasks in our college, including the institute website and registration & placement portals. One of the projects I have worked is developing Windows Phone based Web Browser named "SkyNet Browser". It's available on the Windows Phone Store.
I have organised the Crack The Shell Event, JSS's Annual Technical Festival Event based on Linux Scripting. Curently I am working on Projects based on Computer Vision thorugh Python.
Impact on the Sugar Labs community
If your project is successfully completed, what will its impact be on the Sugar Labs community? Give 3 answers, each 1-3 paragraphs in length. The first one should be yours. The other two should be answers from members of the Sugar Labs community, at least one of whom should be a Sugar Labs GSoC mentor. Provide email contact information for non-GSoC mentors.
Python3 will make the development of the Sugar Core much faster than the current rate due to its robustness.
Python 3 has much better support for i18n and unicode -- critical to the global nature of our project. --Walter
What will you do if you get stuck on your project and your mentor isn't around?
If I get stuck somewhere then I would do straight way come to the Sugar IRC and the mailing lists . And if the problem is not getting solved there then i will seek some external links and resources and will do research by my own.
How do you propose you will be keeping the community informed of your progress and any problems or questions you might have over the course of the project?
By posting weekly progress along with problems that i would be having.
Miscelleneous
Screenshot of my Sugar development environment
Send us a link to a pull request or merge request you have made on a Sugar or Sugar activity bug.
Till now i haven't made any pull request but i have reported two bugs in the Sugar Labs Bugs Page.
What is your t-shirt size?
Large (L)
Describe a great learning experience you had as a child.
In class 11th, one day during exams I was so much engrossed in the studies that i studied for 20 hours that day . That day I was having the best learning experience.
Additional information
Is there anything else we should have asked you or anything else that we should know that might make us like you or your project more?
My dedication towards the Projects involving Computer Science is great. I can work continuously at any project without any break. I love to learn and implement.
