Re: [Sugar-devel] Regarding GSoC'09 projects (Educational toolkit and VideoChat activity)

2009-03-19 Thread Deepank Gupta
Hi,

There has been a renewed interest in Educational Toolkit and I want to take
up the work on Educational Toolkit as a GSoC Student for this summers. I
have earlier worked on it and the system design is presented at:
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Projects/Educational_toolkit . The current
code-base of the project is hosted at :
http://code.google.com/p/educationaltoolkit/source/checkout though the code
doesnt do much now.

I am looking forward to hearing from the community as to how they would like
to take the project to take shape, things they would like implemented, key
features and criticism of the design will be appreciated. This will all help
in refining the requirements and design thereby leading to a good proposal
at my end.

I have some software development and design experience and have worked in
Python, PyGTK, Sugar and GSoC as a student before.

Looking forward to the feedback,
Deepank

Hello, Ajay

I'm trying to get into GSoC too, and have been looking up projects around
sugar.
Your best bet is to join the #sugar channel on freenode, and talk to people.
Look for the nicks homunq and mchua there :)

But since you are interested, I suggest you get the sugar-jhbuild, which is
a decent tool to get the latest builds.
You can go through the sugar framework, get accustomed to the code, and make
sure you check out the activities code, so you get familiar with the IPC
between them, how the framework is used and   such (as your interest seems
to lie with activities)
Also look up pygtk, if you haven't. Sugar uses it extensively for
menus/interfaces/widgets.

 Hi everyone,

  I am Ajay Kumar Chintala, an engineering student from India. I am
 participating in GSoC 09 and found the sugar labs projects 'educational
 toolkit' and 'videoChat activity' intersting. I have knowledge in python and
 am familiar with telepathy. So, i can work on either one of these projects
 provided i do some little ground work for the same. One can implement the
 educational toolkit using telepathy and python.

  I feel that educational toolkit is worth more to the sugarlabs and so i
 want to go with it. Please let me know how i can start working on the same
 so that i can get a clear idea of implementation details and get myself
 ready for the actual project.

 Thanks,
 Ajay.
