On open source community
Each open source community provides a lot of scope for learning and grasping things and contributing in your unique way. I am fascinated by this methodology of the open source community whereby each newcomer has an open access and is free to introduce changes and make it even better. Wish to learn, explore and contribute.

Other FOSS projects
Recently also joined the Moodle community (open source virtual learning management system). Really fascinated about it working.It was indeed a nice learning experience installing it locally on my server and play around with it.

Relevant Projects
I have done a Summer project in C, whereby I generated a flowchart as an output given a c code as an input. It was based upon the core programming concepts of C and helped me realize the programming potential of C.Till date it remain my favorite language.

Apart from this I have been a regular contributor to the IGIT Computer Society of India Chapter. It provided me with a really nice opportunity to get my HTML, CSS , MySQL and PHP knowledge to real work.

Commitments
I have no particular commitment during June 17 - September 23. Just that I have got semester exams till June 16. Shall be available thereafter.

About the Project
Enhancement of Wikidata Features This huge project consists of several sub-parts which together will provide a technical support to the huge collection of data on wikidata by applying effective algorithms. I know there are many projects in this huge topic, although all ideas are great in themselves and we cant choose all but one , hence shall like to work upon entity suggester. It suggests the information related to what editor is interested in and is typing such as to make editor's work easier and faster.

Implementation Details
First Week : understand the exact goals, do some research work on it and come up with an effective plan to be implemented in the future. Deliverable : A plan to be followed the following days June 25 - July25 : Come up some initial code Deliverable : initial code for review July 25 - August 10 : As per the review make changes and do improvements as suggested Deliverable : the improved and changed code August 10 - August 31 : Testing and debugging of the finalized code Delivarable : Tested Code September : Documentation and final tasks

Participation
Shall be available for the entire duration of the program exept June 1 - 17 when I have exams. Shall coverup by working on holidays too.

Past Work
I developed a C code the previous summer which converts the C program to a Flowchart Matrix Generator. Here is the link of the code Also I have contributed to the CSI Chapter at my college in building their sites and hence have a sound background in web development. Also a few additional links : Online Game.

Skill Set
HTML, CSS , PHP , MySQL ,Javascript ,C ,C++

About Me
I love converting technology into a medium where it can be useful to the mankind. This project seems perfect to this goal of mine as here we shall develop means to make Wikidata more accessible to the people. I wish to be a part of such a project and apply all my brains to its success.

Why two different projects ?
Yes, if given time, i would like to work on both the projects. But seeing the time constraints, I know I cant. The reason I suggested the first one was that I felt I am quite familiar with the web technologies and would be able to contribute there and the reason I am suggesting the second one is that I want to learn how to handle the data part on the web apart from my existing knowledge :)
