This project was awarded first prize in Annual Project Exhibition of KJ Somaiya Institute of Engineering & IT.

I have been an active part of the community for quite some time now and have made contributions to various projects like Web Confusion,TuxMath etc. I should be able to complete the project on time since I have a strong background in the technologies that are to be used and I am also clear with the concept of the activity I would be developing.

You and the community



Benefits of this project:

Learning something new can sometimes be monotonous.This activity will help break that monotony.

Tony Anderson(gsoc-mentor):

"This proposal is the first that has focused on what the student needs to learn and a staged approach to the challenges."

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

I have prepared a blog http://crusher95.wordpress.com . If no one is around I would post my problems on my blog and wait for suggestions from others.Also I have been active on #sugar IRC.So I will try to clear out my doubts from there.If nothing is possible then I will go ahead with other tasks and wait for my mentor.

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 send emails to my mentor about my daily progress.Also I would post my progress on my blog.

Miscellaneous

Send us a link to a screenshot of your Sugar development environment with the following modification: when you hover over the XO-person icon in the middle of Home view, the drop-down text should have your email in place of "logout".

Childhood Experience:

My mother was the professor of Multimedia & Web Technologies in my school.When I was in fifth grade I saw my mother working with macromedia flash,I was overwhelmed on seeing the animations and tried to do so myself but failed.This did not stop me and I kept on trying.After repeated attempts I succeeded and this further more increased my interest in this field.
