Hello all,
The Thamizha (www.thamizha.com) community is a developer community dedicated
in creating Open Source software for Tamil users. As a part of the community
efforts, a Hackathon is going to be conducted in Brisbane, Australia on
October 9th.
As a parallel effort, we will have a hackathon in Chennai jointly organised
by ILUGC and Thamizha Community. This is a opportunity for programming
enthusiasts to get together and contribute code for the benefit of
community. I on behalf of the community kindly invite every
one interested for the hackathon.
We will be primarily dealing with creating better tools for Tamil Language
input, Spell checking, Dictionary ...etc in the form of desktop
applications, Browser addons or Mobile Apps. Any Innovative new ideas are
also welcome (creating a web service like peyar.in or translating a
opensource software like GIMP anyone ?). The technologies that would be
touched upon but not limited to are HTML, JavaScript, CSS, Python, Qt,
Android or iOS App development.
Since the technology used can be easily adopted for other Indic languages,
the people interested in working other languages on the similar lines are
also welcome.
The Venue has been generously offered by Mr. Asokan, an ILUGC Member.
