Hi Abdulhakeem,

Thanks for indicating interest to contribute to Sugar Labs via Google
Summer of Code,
we mostly use Linux for development and the issue with you using windows is
that if you have a
problem we might not be able to help you figure it out as we don't use
windows.

You should be able to run the Sugar Live build
<https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-live-build> in a vm as you'll need it
to make changes to Sugar itself and
the core activities, I'm guessing you're already using sugar as you said so
above.
Sugar mostly uses the PyGObject bindings
<https://pygobject.readthedocs.io/en/latest/> so you'll need knowledge of
that to be able to contribute to Sugar,
since you already know python it'll be easier to learn the tools necessary
and we don't use Django but that's not
a hindrance to you contributing.

Also take a look at our contributing guide
<https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-docs/blob/master/src/contributing.md>
and feel free to ask any questions you have here on the list.
Looking forward to your contributions.
