Hi, I'm a student interested in the Sugar GSoC -- I've been reading this list for a while so I thought I'd ask about how I might be useful. For the summer, I'm near Boston (is anybody else? I'd love to chat with enthusiasts in person). I'm a big fan of constructivist learning; it's kind of how my parents "taught" me, and some parts of my college studies are learning-related. Last year I did GSoC for Haskell.org refactoring part of their technical infrastructure. Two years ago my college had an OLPC Seminar class where we got to play with one of the XO-1's. I'm open to anything that gets me more involved in this ecosystem!
One thing I've noticed happening, that I know something about -- I'm also on the Zero-Install mailing-list -- is an attempt to integrate Zero-Install and Sugar activities somewhat. This makes me really happy because before, I didn't see a real market/goal for Zero-Install; and conversely, easy, potentially decentralized Activity distribution does need a technological backing a bit unlike the well-established Linux-distribution-mechanisms (I've used Linux -- several different distros -- for the past five years). I wonder if this Zero/Sugar project could use some GSOC support, or if there are more useful/important things to work on? -Isaac _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
