Changes

I am located in upstate New York and my hours are typically flexible. I can adjust the availability at my summer job (which gives minimal hours to begin with) to allow for maximum availability in working on this project.

I actually have not worked on an open source project before. The open source community was always something I'd felt like I wasn't enough of an expert to contribute to. Now that I've declared a major in Computer Science and have taken two computer sciences courses - one in Python and one in Java - I am eager to use my skills for a larger-scale project. Whether or not I'm enough of an 'expert' is less relevant now that I realize how much there is to learn and how much change there is to affect by contributing to open source projects.

SugarLabs, especially, inspires me to make a contribution because I believe that equality of education is severely skewed - across the world, of course, but even within the U.S. alone - and I'd like to play a role in giving students easy access to the skills that are required for a sound foundation for the rest of their education.
