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?

My opensourced projects can be found on my github account

About my project

What is the name of your project?

Cordova/PhoneGap container for Sugar

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?

Apache Cordova is a platform for building native mobile applications using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. It is a set of device APIs that allow a mobile app developer to access native device function such as the camera or accelerometer from JavaScript. When using the Cordova APIs, an app can be built without any native code from the app developer. Instead, web technologies are used, and they are hosted in the app itself locally.

My project is to develop plugins that is relevant to sugar platform. There will be a client code written in javascript and its corresponding native code written in python.

What is the timeline for development of your project? The Summer of Code work period is from May 19 - August 22; 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 (27 June); the last steps always take longer than you think, and we will consider cancelling projects which are not mostly working by then.

Weeks Expected Tasks
May 19 - May 30 Discuss about the plugins to be developed which is relevant to the sugar platform.
May 31 - June 6 Develop first plugin
Jun 7 - June 13 Develop second plugin
Jun 14 - June 20 Develop third plugin
Jun 21 - June 27 Develop fourth plugin
Mid Term Evaluation
Jun 28 - July 4 Develop fifth plugin
July 5 - July 11 Develop sixth plugin
July 12 - July 18 Develop seventh plugin
July 19 - July 25 Develop Eighth plugin
July 26 - August 1 Optimize the Code
August 2 - August 8 if there time work on more plugins
August 9 - August 15 if there time work on more plugins
August 16 - August 22 Fix Bugs
August 23 - August 24 Document the project


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.

Skills:

Languages : C, C++, JavaScript , Python, Shell Scipt

Web Design / Web Applications: - HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, jQuery, Zepto, Bootstrap, Node.js, Express, passport, Socket.io, Angular, Django

Mobile Apps / Mobile Web - PhoneGap(cordova), Ionic, OnsenUI

Database - MongoDB, MySQl, sqlite, diskdb

Tools - Vim, Tmux, zsh, Git, Grunt, Docker , Yeoman, Qt, Inkscape

OS - Linux(Ubuntu, Archlinux), Android, Windows

Relevant Projects in Past:
  • Hextrix app for sugar platform

Hextrix game

  • English Malayalam Dictionary using python, pygtk

Dictionary

  • Battery plugin for tmux

Tmux Battery Plugin

  • Command line app that shows current cricket score

Cricket live score

  • Hosel management system made for college

hostel-management-system

  • Techfest mobile site

dyuthi mobile site

  • Offline contact app using Node-webkit, Angular, diskdb

Offline contact app

  • App to scroll pages using face using opencv

facescroll

You and the 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.

Success of sugar depend on the number of application present in platform. By developing plugin for sugar it would be very easy to port applications made for other platforms to sugar platform. Developer need not worry about the native side of the platform, they can depend entirely on web technologies HTML5, CSS, Javascript to develop applications for sugar.

What will you do if you get stuck on your project and your mentor isn't around?

If mentor is not around i will depend on stackoverflow, google, IRC

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?

I will update the status on my blog or github project pages
