| I took a deviation (rather set my path straight) to open source when I was introduced to Gnome localisations done by SMC. I started using Linux OS ever since and did some tweaks and experimentations on it. I found it far batter than other propreitary operating systems and started loving it. Then I was introduced to python programming language, which instantly gained my attraction due ot its simplicity and the smaller code snippets it needed. | | I am Balasankar C, a 3rd year B.Tech CSE student from Kalady, Kerala.

| In your project proposal let us know about your programming experience.

| I use Linux platform to code. Though I use multiple editors like Vi and Gedit, my favourite is geany because of its built in compilation and debugging facilities and it also provides a good graphical interface.

| I have been working with SMC for about 1 year in its Gnome localisation team. Anything related to Malayalam and Computers attract me. I like the idea of having my computer displaying stuff in my native language and SMC is doing the same. Moreover it is an open source initiative so that I can also participate in that.

| I have used and am currently using git for controlling and distributing the softwares I develop

| I have proposed an idea of developing a calendar applet for Android, but then I changed my mind about Android and decided to go with [[SoC/2013/Project_ideas#Developing_Malayalam_Calendar_Support|Malayalam Calendar for KOrganizer]]. I intend to add a Malayalam (Kollavarsham) Calendar to KOrganizer where it is displayed along with the Greogiran and Saka Calendar. Users should be able to do all calendar activities like marking to-do, setting up remainders etc on the basis of Malayalam Months and Dates. I always dreamt of doing this and as I often say, my aim is a day when we set up remainders for each 'Ekadashi'. I believe I am eligible for this project due to my knowledge in the astronomical field, mathematics and algorithm formulation and I am also familiar with GUI programming. There were several works done in this area, but most of them are database-centric and hence applies only between a specific range of time. I intend to do it in an algorithm-centric way so that it will be efficient always.

| I intend to spend 5 hours a day for this project considering my studies and college work. Even if the project is not accepted for/completed within GSoC, I am planning to go ahead with it and complete it ASAP.

| I am also interested in the [[SoC/2013/Project_ideas#Internationalize_SILPA_project_with_Wikimedia_jquery_projects| Internationalisation of Silpa using Wikimedia jQuery projects]].
