Hi,
Am slowly working on understanding and extending Ubuntu. Interested in contributing to design and programming. kernel primitives, python, wireless, ZeroConf, firewall, security and wiki ...
Some of the related stuff I am interested include the OLPC (One Lap top per Child) - especially the Ad-hoc network algorithmics, wireless primitives, sensor networks, [http://blogs.cisco.com/AON/archives/2006/06/aon_as_an_intel.html intelligent edges], distributed precision tome synchronization algorithmics (who knew - there is a 2nd order relationship between MANET and music !), the Tor anonymous routing et al.
You can find some of my thoughts in a [http://blogs.cisco.com/AON/ blog]. I also have been contributing to the First Lego League Robotics tournemts as a jugde for the last couple of years ... the creativity of children is amazing ... Another area of my interest is the history and relevance of concert music; most probably will develop an introductory explorative-collaborative-handson music history course for children on the OLPC ...
