1. If your project is successfully completed, what will its impact be on the Sugar Labs community? Give 3 answers, each 1-3 paragraphs in length. The first one should be yours. The other two should be answers from members of the Sugar Labs community, at least one of whom should be a Sugar Labs GSoC mentor. Provide email contact information for non-GSoC mentors.
:*autorpmgen will enable students who doesn't have a xo lap to experience ALL the sugar activities which are currently available on their rpm based distro box. Further it will be beneficial to projects like Sugar on a Stick which is based on Fedora. SoaS will also include more and more sugar activities in future of course will be beneficial to students who even doesn't have a rpm based distro box. They can just plug their USB stick and get the full experience. Activities will be exposed to a more wide community of students, teachers and developers which in turn will result in more and more feedback and ultimately the activities will get better and better and will more suit the needs. That is we are reaching more students with better quality products. --[[User:Callkalpa|Callkalpa]]
:*It is great to see so many Sugar activities being packaged... certainly will make life easier for the maintainers and those pulling together distros. I question the assertion that this will help nonSugar users without an accompanying effort to add the glue to launch Sugar activities outside of Sugar. A number of activities, e.g., Turtle Art, support this, but it is atypical. Perhaps a modeule that can get distributed with the RPMs that detects whether or not the Sugar environment is available and added replacement methods in the case it is not? We need to think this through. --[[User:Walter|Walter]] 11:41, 16 February 2012 (EST)
#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?
2. What will you do if you get stuck on your project and your mentor isn't around?
:*First of all I try myself and next I seek for help in other source such as mailing lists, irc (#sugar #fedora-devel on freenode) and past GSoCers of Sugar Labs. I firmly believe that always there will be some path where I can get the information I need.
3. 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?
:*It is mainly my [http://www.kalpapathum.blogspot.com| blog] that I intend to use as the medium to inform the rest of the world on my progress. About the problems and questions, I will be using the specific developer resources and mailing lists and irc as well.

#We want to make sure that you can set up a development environment before the summer starts. Please send us a link to a screenshot of your Sugar development environment with the following modification: when you hover over the XO-person icon in the middle of Home view, the drop-down text should have your email in place of "Restart." See the image on the right for an example. It's normal to need assistance with this, so please visit our IRC channel, #sugar on irc.freenode.net, and ask for help.

#Describe a great learning experience you had as a child.
#* I woudld like to mention about my entrance to the world of programming. I started with GWBASIC on those good old days and gradually improved through Visual Basic, python, C and java. I prefer to learn and explore things by myself and I am thankful to my parents for allowing me to do what I have an interest on. From childhood to this point, it was a great learning experience in terms of programming and other aspects as well. Even in the event of getting the sugar development environment work properly I came across some issues which I tried my self and blogged [http://kalpapathum.blogspot.com/2012/02/sugar-jhbuild-update-bundlemodule-has.html here]. It is always happy to follow trial and error method when there are no other possible alternatives visible or reachable.
