Why do you want to work with the Swathanthra Malayalam Computing?

I heard about smc by accident . I saw the mailing list from launchapad when I was helping one project for malayalam translation. I joined in that mailing list and really surprised with dedication of smc members for malayalam language computing. I asked to one of the members about the reason behind this dedication . His answer was simple "I am a malayalee ,It is our responsibility" . As a malayalee I also have responsibility to complete the dream "എന്റെ കമ്പ്യൂട്ടറിനു് എന്റെ ഭാഷ". So I decided to contribute to smc in this summer . I will work for smc even if I am not selected for GSoc , Because It is my responsibility
