Sayamindu,
I hope that your proposal gets through. I can try to join you in Bangalore
for the same.
Though I have not had much deep insight into hacking into Sugar as other
aspects of OLPC takes most of time. But I will like to take this opportunity
to get started on it. So if I understand rightly the first thing I need to
do is brush up my Python Programming skills.
Also how about having a workout session on story telling activity in sugar
or it can be part of Project Day itself.
Cheers,
Amit

The CFP for FOSS.in 2008, one of the largest Free/Open Source Software<br>

I'm thinking of proposing OLPC as a Project of the Day (or maybe a<br>
FOSS Workout - though I don't think much can be achieved in 3 hours).<br>
<br>
Possible talks that come to my mind (and on which I can talk with,<br>
some effort) include:<br>
<br>
a) Developing Sugar activities with GTK+<br>
b) Hacking Sugar<br>
c) Collaboration in Sugar<br>
d) Developing Sugar Activities with PyGame<br>
<br>
Is anyone interested in presenting anything else on OLPC in FOSS.in ?<br>
<br>
Possible projects/workout sessions I'm willing to help coordinate<br>
include a Media (audio/video) viewer for Browse (similar to the PDF<br>
viewer I came up a few days back), a Translate sugar activity for on<br>
the fly translation of activities. Are there any projects/features<br>
which you can think of which can reach a demo-able state after one day<br>
of (possibly distributed) hacking ? If you cna think of them, do you<br>
think it will be possible for you to come to FOSS.in and help<br>
coordinate the hacking session ?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
