Have you participated in an open-source project before?
No. I like to work for an open source organisation now ,because I feel people work for open source organisations to improve their skill and pursue their interests and I want to do the same.

About the Project

What is the name of your project?
Project Sharing Website.

Description of Project
A website where kids can share their projects created using various sugar activities and also work on them collaboratively. The website will foster collaboration and provide a platform where students can showcase their work and learn from others work. Students receive appreciation and feedback for their work from their peers, parent and teachers. Teachers can create "private classroom spaces".

Web2py/Python framework for the backend and mjor part of frontend. Web2py mainly because it is python framework, provides security for common vulnerabilities, supports multiple protocols required for this project. It follows model-view-controller (MVC) pattern, provides testing and version controlling tools to make the workflow easier. Most of the frontend development can be done using HTML, CSS3 and jQuery in web2py, but if requirement is high then I may use bootstrap to get the work done quickly. API’s to interact with sugar activities.

My Past work:
I am 3rd year undergraduate pursuing bachelors in computer science at International Institute of Information technology, Hyderabad. I have been developing many application and been part of many projects in these three years.
I have been part of technical team of annual technical fest of our university (felicity.iiit.ac.in). The work of technical team involved building portals for many online events and also a chat bot which answers question related to fest. I have been built a web application to automate the course and exam timetable of our university. Also been a part of project to build the course management portal for our institute ( yet to be deployed).
I have started using web2py recently and started building a small app imitating e-commerce portals having search by category mechanism and shopping cart. Also created a music library using web2py.
Currently I am working on a strategy game to help high school students understand concepts of social, political, economic decision making creating an environment similar ( in related aspects) to the current society.
I have also developed some other applications as part of course work like ‘temple run’ like game, multi -threaded proxy server, basic functionalities of opengl pipeline, mini-sql engine which can perform basic sql operations.
