I have been following open source technologies since almost a year as a user. Attending various FOSS events was the major highlight of this incubation period. And now I want to enter the development phase so that I can start contributing to the open source community as soon as possible. During my search to initiate the process I started exploring new horizons and came across GSoC. It’s a stupendous effort from Google and all the organizations to promote Open Source. I look forward to GSoC as a great platform for aspiring developers/contributors to get involved in open source community. It’s a fantastic and “open” learning opportunity for me to work with experienced and senior developers of Open Source. In a nutshell, I was really impressed by this initiative and thanked God. The very first organization I checked out was One Laptop Per Child, just because it carried a social cause. I would be very happy if I can contribute to the motive of OLPC. Thanks!

This would be my first experience in Open source Development. And, i would like to thank OLPC for considering me as potential candidate for GSoC2008. I look forward to spend an awesome summer. Cheers!
