Hi, I am Kalpa Welivitigoda from Sri Lanka.
I was searching for a FOSS project to contribute on and I came across Sugar on a Stick through OpenHatch. I am involved in Fedora Project [1] , Mozilla Firefox and have contributed in lokalizing some of the other projects including OpenOffice, pidgin, GNOME etc. Apart from them I am active on Hanthana Linux [2], a local project. Hanthana is a remix of Fedora. I attend FOSS related events and talk about FOSS to make the public aware. I currently write to two local e-magazines (FOSS User [3] and Hanthana+, yet to be released.) In technical aspects, I am familiar with java and python and uses Fedora as my primary and only OS. In Sugar on a Stick I hope to make use of my python knowledge and learn more on python. I also wish to package applications and actually I have done one related to fedora Sound SIG [4]. But it is not upstream yet since there are some more sound tracks to be added. I wish to learn further on packaging also. So at the moment the ways I can contribute to Sugar on a Stick will be with; 1) testing 2) fixing bugs or adding new features to existing activities (depend on the level of python expertise needed) 3) packaging activities for fedora I am reading for my BSc of Eng degree major in Electrical Engineering and I wish to contribute to FOSS in my leisure time. My irc nickname is callkalpa Please help me get started!
