What is your email address?
goutamnair7@gmail.com

What is your first language? (We have mentors who speak multiple languages and can match you with one of them if you'd prefer.)
My language of communication is English.

Where are you located, and what hours (UTC) do you tend to work? (We also try to match mentors by general time zone if possible.)
I reside in India (UTC+0530) and I usually work from afternoon to midnight but the timing is flexible.

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?
I am a dedicated user of open-source technologies such as Linux, Firefox, LibreOffice,Django, etc. Also, I have been contributing to Sugar Labs for over 2 months and have worked on a few patches for Firefox OS. I want to give back to the Open Source community which has given me so much in terms of knowledge, guidance and experience.

The Sugar learning platform is an open-source project that helps in children education. The Sugar activities are used by over 3 million children everyday and if I could make even a tiny impact on their lives, it would mean a lot to me.
