I contributed to openSUSE's [http://popcorn.mapleoin.eu/ popcorn] project during GSoC 2012. Popcorn collects anonymous data about usage of RPM packages. I implemented various features including making data collection anonymous, packaging client RPM, implement a simple RESTful API, integration of client in settings user interface (YaST). Source code is available on [https://github.com/opensuse/popcorn github]. My contributions are under username axitkhurana.

''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.''

Kids will be able to show their creations to the world. They'll also learn more by working on each other's projects. Teachers and Activity developers can work on creating tutorials for projects. Parents will be able to see what their kids have been learning and appreciate their projects there.
:The key is learning from each other. By sharing projects, we can share best practice, learn from each other's mistakes and successes, and in general, engage in a critical dialogue. --[[User:Walter|Walter]] ([[User talk:Walter|talk]]) 13:25, 2 May 2013 (EDT)
=== Sugar pilot deployment ===
=== Sugar pilot deployment ===
''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. We will make arrangements to either supply or find all the equipment needed. Do you have any ideas on where you would like your deployment to be, who you would like to be involved, and how we can help you and the community in your area begin it?''

It would be great if we could set up a pilot deployment at [http://www.anushruti.in/ Anushruti], which is the first school for the deaf in India in an Hi-Tech Institute of National Importance. It is situated inside my college, IIT Roorkee, and I can help with setting up by coordinating with Sugar and the school, as our student group, Information Management Group, helped with their website design. Sugar's clean collaborative platform would really improve the learning environment there.

Try to solve the problem myself. If I am unable to and if it isn't urgent, I'll send an email and work on something else. If it is I'll try to get help from other people in the community on IRC or mailing list.
