[Sugar-devel] GSOC 2018 Introduction

[Ayush Agrawal]

Hello everyone,

I would like to take this opportunity of introducing myself to the
SugarLabs community. I am Ayush Agrawal, a first year undergraduate from
BITS Pilani Goa, India. I am a prospective GSoC student and have identified
the project "Learn to program in Turtle Art" as something that piques my
interest and lies within my capabilities. I am a self taught programmer and
I understand very well how much difficult it is for a new person to start
with a programming language and hence, this project. I can code in
Java(very good), python and C++. I don't know much about website
development but I think I can learn it during the community bonding period.
But I believe I can surely make very good exercises which will 100% teach
the user about how to use TurtleArt.

Earlier, I was working on the Full-Color Icon project for GSOC but my
computer system had some trouble regarding development of Sugar as
dual-boot so I dropped the idea. I need your help in this and each and
every suggestion is appreciated. Since, this is a new project and there is
not much time left for Proposal Submission Timeline, it will be very
helpful if you can help me figure this out and let me know what my rough
timeline for gsoc should be like. Let me know if someone can help me write
a  proposal. I look forward to interacting with all the developers and
contributing to the organization to the best of my abilities.

[James Cameron]

That's a well written timeline, thanks!

Given your plan to work nine hours a day for the contest, your
timeline seems reasonable.

You might add more detail to the timeline closer to the date, and this
will help you find which tasks are critical.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Review Request of GSoC Proposal: Making a Beginner Guide

[James Cameron]

G'day Pratul,

Thanks for the opportunity to comment on your draft proposal.

Your proposal suffers from lack of measurable controls for risks.  In
general, you've added responses to the risks which are mostly either
aspirational, hopeful, or procedural.  Some of the responses don't
address the risks.

For reference, here is what I had previously written on these risks;

http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2018-February/055030.html

Please do not use HTML for the beginner guide.  Instead, please use
Markdown.  Markdown has a wider audience of authors.  HTML should be
generated automatically.

Please consider better controls for risk #3.  My post on 14th February
gave some ideas.  Just claiming that you'd like to keep working on the
project after GSoC ... doesn't seem probable.  It is aspirational.
