[Sugar-devel] Introduction - guidance needed
Hi All, I am an experienced python developer, I have also worked with zope, css, html, javascript, java, and web framework like turbogears. I have a physics background and is very much interested in educational activities. I came to know about the project through OLPC project page. I am interested in getting involved in sugar lab project in what ever way I can. I can contribute through code contribution, bug fixes, testing etc. I can also contribute in documenting the work also. Please guide me in getting started - please suggest me any projects which requires python expertise so that I can start exploring. I don't have a linux box, I have only a laptop with windows installed. Will that be a problem?

Re: [Sugar-devel] Introduction - guidance needed
Roopesh, If you're interested in developing Activities you might check out the FLOSS Manual Make Your Own Sugar Activities! at this URL: http://en.flossmanuals.net/ActivitiesGuideSugar/Introduction You might want to check out http://activities.sugarlabs.org to see what is already available. That might give you ideas about where you could contribute. You don't need a dedicated Linux box to do development for Sugar. You could run Linux in a VM on your laptop if it has enough memory to do that, or you could set up the laptop to boot either Linux or Windows. I do the dual-boot option myself. You just need to create a partition on your hard drive to hold Linux. Having Linux partitions on your laptop will not affect your experience running Windows, other than losing the disk space the partitions use.

In addition to Jim's suggestion re writing an activity, we have a number open tickets of varying sorts in our bug tracker (bugs.sugarlabs.org) and a number of open feature requests described in our wiki (wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features) as places to get inspiration. Please guide me in getting started - please suggest me any projects which requires python expertise so that I can start exploring.

You can install Sugar in a VM that runs in Windows. regards. -walter Warm Regards, Roopesh ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel -- Walter Bender Sugar Labs http://www.sugarlabs.org ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
