I was involved as a developer and the project leader of LIMAS (“List Manager Assistant”), it is a school project for management and control of students through mobile devices.

I'm really motivated, I have the necesary time, I've good programming skills.
<p>I've been talking with Bryan Berry[http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2009-March/013043.html], he has convinced me that open web technologies are the correct way in order to get an open-source ecosystem.</p>
<p>I've participated in several programming contest: "ACM Programming Contest México and Central América 2007" in 2005, 2007[http://icpc.baylor.edu/icpc/regionals/ViewRegionalStandings.asp?ContestID=860] and 2008[http://cidi.uaq.mx/acm/results.html] obtaining honorable mention, 5th place (global) and 8th place (global) respectively.</p>
<p>My main programming language is C/C++, I develop an C++ sniffer for linux using libpcap, among others.
However, the effectiveness of Phyton has led me to explore it. I've done some little experiments using it.

I've a lot of experience using flash, i.e. some projects:
* Rule-based expert system using CLIPS for detection of hepatitis through internet [http://mexfinder.com/subzero/mrhepatitis/ Source code]
* Implementation of chess using Prolog as back-end and Adobe Flash (with Zinc) as the front-end under Microsoft Windows [http://mexfinder.com/subzero/chess_prolog_flash/ Source code].

* ''' Sugar Labs will be working to set up a small (5-30 unit) Sugar pilot near each student project that is accepted to GSoC so that you can immediately see how your work affects children in a deployment.

I have been talking with Gabriel Gerónimo Castillo [http://mixtli.utm.mx/~resdi/html/gabriel_geronimo_castillo.html] he's the leader and founder of "Sakua'an Sasiki - Club de niños Edumóvil" [http://www.edumovil.org] at my university. The main idea of this club is to bring technology to children in areas of scarce resources, they give classes to children with linux games that we develop here.

He would love to work with us running the Sugar pilot group. He will support us with the facilities and staff if necessary.

asking "why" was a good way to challenge what everyone knows, we often ended learning together.

Adobe flash is currently the standard the creating interactive educational activities for the web. I strongly believe that a healthy open-source ecosystem will never develop around the flash platform for a number of reasons. Primarily because the Adobe run-time itself is proprietary and because flash programs are distributed in binary format. There are a lot more open-source projects working on extending the javascript API on linux than those extending the Flash API.
The technologies of the OpenWeb -- html, css, and javascript -- have brought tremendous innovation to the wider Internet and real value to everyday people.
I feel the same can be true for education if we apply the technologies of the OpenWeb to this problem space. My humble intent
is to create a simple learning activity that shows OpenWeb technologies can be used in place of Adobe Flash.
