===My IRC nickname on irc.freenode.net===

zhirzh (on webchat.freenode.net)

===My first language===

Hindi is my native language. I am also comfortable with English.

===My location and Working hours preference===

I live in Rajasthan, India. I find the following working hours comfortable.

* '''UTC(''18.30'' - 00.30)''' => IST(00.00 - 06.00)

* '''UTC(04.30 - 10.30)''' => IST(10.00 - 16.00)

===Past experience and Reason to participate this summer===

Working in an open-source project is something new to me. I have been working with javascript for the past two years, but always worked on small to medium scaled projects - most of them for college activities, fests etc. I enjoyed the time I was working on projects and I felt the experience is invaluable.

But recently, I have felt the need to work on something on a larger scale. The reason I want to work for an open-source project is multi faceted. Primarily, it is the exposure and experience. Working with a team of friends is different than working for/with an organization. And that difference can only be felt by working for one.

Secondly, the idea open-source resonates with my thinking. I respect the fact how open-source allows people all around to help projects that matter to them. The concept removes the need to ''re-invent the wheel'' whenever someone requires a preexisting tool with a little tinkering.

And finally, the sheer joy. I get ecstatic when I see my projects taking shape and when they are finally done. It is for that feeling that I want to work for SugarLabs for the upcoming summers.

The goal of this project is to port some famous Sugar activities into HTML5/Javascript Sugar Web activities that will be include into the Sugarizer Package. Three activities will be ported:

# '''Moon''': Moon is a Moon phase viewer, includes Lunar phase information and eclipse data.

# '''Speak''': Speak is a talking face. Anything you type will be spoken aloud using the speech synthesizer, espeak.

It is for the following reasons that I am confident that I will successfully finish the project.

* Experience of 2 years (and counting) with the Javascript.

* No other commitments in the summer.

* College stays off during summers (May to August). Can devote as much as 10 hours per day.

I have also been working on a prototype for Moon activity since March 5, 2016.
