| + | '''What will you do if you get stuck on your project and your mentor isn't around?''' |
| + | |
| + | If I am stuck and my mentor is not around, I will search on the web and stackoverflow for |
| + | |
| + | solution. If that does not work I would ask the question on IRC and Sugar-devel mailing list |
| + | |
| + | to get help from other members of the community who contribute to Music Blocks. Some of |
| + | |
| + | my college seniors also contribute to open-source, I can get help from them as well. |
| + | |
| + | '''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 write a blog, where I will post updates of my progress as well as difficulties that I faced |
| + | |
| + | weekly. I will post to Sugar-devel mailing list after completing important milestones and I |
| + | |
| + | will also attend meetings which are held on #sugar-meeting. |

| + | My project does not require Sugar development environment, but I have set it up in virtual |
| + | |
| + | machine. |

| + | '''Describe a great learning experience you had as a child.''' |
| + | |
| + | I was weak in mathematics when I was a kid, although I used to attend all the classes. When |
| + | |
| + | the teacher solved questions on blackboard, I just copy them to my notebook mindlessly. |
| + | |
| + | Once I scored very badly in Mathematics exam. I then talked to the teacher and he asked me |
| + | |
| + | to try solving questions before seeing answer. I followed his advice and started solving |
| + | |
| + | exercise questions and asked for help only after I had tried enough. This helped and I |
| + | |
| + | became good in mathematics. This was a very good learning experience for me. |
| + | |
| + | '''Is there anything else we should have asked you or anything else that we should know''' |
| + | |
| + | '''that might make us like you or your project more?''' |
| + | |
| + | Sugar Labs is doing very good work to provide equal opportunity to students all over the |
| + | |
| + | world to learn, but one thing that I have noticed is that our community need to have better |
| + | |
| + | outreach to prospective contributors, this would make us grow fastly as an organisation. |
| + | |
| + | After summers I would like to work with Sugar Labs team to increase our outreach. |
