About Me:

  • What is your name?

My name is Abhijit Patel and I am a 2nd year undergraduate student at Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology, Gandhinagar, India.

  • What is your email address?

abhisandhyasp.ap@gmail.com

  • What is your Sugar Labs wiki username?

Abhijit

  • What is your IRC nickname on irc.freenode.net?

AbrahmAB

  • 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 first language is Gujarati . I am also fluent in English, Hindi and Marathi.

  • 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 am located in Gandhinagar, India. The time zone is Indian Standard Time (UTC + 5:30). I am planning to work 5:00 to 14:00 (UTC) but is adjustable. As I don't have any other commitments this summer I could surely manage my time and be active when the mentors are available.

  • 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 new to open source.The idea of “anyone could contribute code” is just splendid. Developing a piece of software that would be used by millions of people by coordinating with other developers all round the globe, is something that has always fascinated me.

Sugar learning platform is an example of how technology can be used to impart education. Contributing to the open-source project under sugar labs would indirectly contribute to educating a few more children. Nothing else could match this joy.
