In these last two months, I have been continuously tweaking the code of turtleblocksjs and done some pull requests were merged.

Openness, and accessibility of open source excites me. To contribute to and benefit from this immense pool of talent and knowledge is what drives me. Here are the reasons why I think I will love to work on an open-source project this summer :

Enhancing the reusability of the code to its fullest will also be one of the main concerns in this phase.

* [https://github.com/abhinavanurag18/checkmate2014 '''Checkmate'''] : An online 2-hr event to test the intelligence of the participant. Users have to solve the questions and bid for a multiplier(like 2x means if correct, 2 times the base point of the question will awarded. Deduction will also be done in the same proportion.) on the basis of two metrics : no. of users already solved that question and the accuracy of the submissions. This two metrics helps user to decide the toughness of the question and hence, the bidding multiplier. This is a completely js-driven application having the support php for backend work.
* [https://github.com/abhinavanurag18/Network-Programming '''Network Programming Assignment'''] : Problem statements are included in the repository. Language used : C.
* '''Compiler Assignment''' : I am making compiler for a Context-Free Language using LL(1) parser. This is an on-going assignment. Hence, code cannot be uploaded. Language used : C.

* [https://github.com/abhinavanurag18/connectusers '''ConnectUsers'''] : A chrome plugin to link linkedin and Angellist. Any user going through linkedin profile of someone will get the link to same person on Angellist. An algorithm was designed to equate two profiles on two different websites. Language used : JavaScript.

In relevance to the project, I am currently working on a collaborative canvas drawing application. '''[https://github.com/abhinavanurag18/Collaborative-Canvas-using-Websockets Here]''' is the link.

“I hope it means we can use collaboration under more circumstances and hence expand its utility and the community.<br />Quite simply, we want JS to be a first-class environment for Sugar, so we need a first-class collaboration mechanism.”

'''What will I do if you get stuck on my project and my mentor isn't around?'''

Firstly, I will try to get help from the community itself. Specially from the people whom I bonded with in the pre-application phase.

Adding to that, I am a self learnt person and have learnt all that I know on my own through internet resources(Stack Overflow, Tech Blogs, Github, BitBucket and what not). And I am proud of this skill of mine. In case web fails, I will get back coding community comprising of seniors and professors in my college
'''How do I propose I will be keeping the community informed of my progress and any problems or questions you might have over the course of the project?'''

I am planning to maintain a wiki page for my project which I will updating time-to-time to keep the community updated about the project and its progress. Along with that, I am planning to write weekly blogs about my findings during the project in my own way ;).

Sometimes, I think what if I would have got the access of something like sugar in my childhood days. I can clearly see myself stuck with my xo machine playing with turtle and chatting with my friend abroad. I would have loved those moments. We would have cooler and smarter kids.
If not me, then why not the coming generation? This is the source of an enormous motivation for me to work for the development of this organisation. This project for me will always be driven by the motivation and the field of work ( which is my newly-found love : websockets. ). Hence, It will be completed with a lot of dedication and passion if given a chance.
