[Sugar-devel] Contributing through GSOC

[shaansubbaiah.cs18 at bmsce.ac.in]

Hello everyone,
I'm Shaan Subbaiah, a 2nd year CSE undergrad interested in contributing towards SugarLabs through GSoC. I would like to work on the task 'Debian advocacy for Sugar'.
I use Linux (Manjaro) on a daily basis but this would be the first time I would be testing software packages. I'm not sure if the task would span the 3 months alotted by GSOC, I'd be very happy to work on the 'Game Activity Pack' task if time permits as I have experience in Web Dev.

Just installed Ubuntu FocalFossa/ 20.04 (6 Mar) on KVM, followed instructions to install sucrose from here(http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2020-February/057763.html). 
(Also, for anyone else following the same steps on KVM, switching the graphics adapter to 'virtio' from 'qxl' will prevent issues when using the sugar or ubuntu non wayland options while loggin in.)

Apart from what I believe are small ui issues like text moving when using the slider upon setting age, calculator moving out of the screen upon clicking the buttons on the toolbar, I have found no issues so far. There are no navigation icons unlike the online sugarizer, the only way to switch activites is using the function keys. There was no tutorial/ popup on setup and I couldn't exit the Journal.

I would like you to guide me in the right direction regarding the testing process.
Thankyou
