It was one of the most memorable holi I have ever had or may be I will have for quite a few years to come I guess. Loads of fun, colours, food and more! Complete set here

Hola folks! The Ubuntu community has unleashed the Brainstorm page. It is a interface for people with any kind of thought to just add those as “ideas” and let the community brainstorm over them. We are already having about 2400 Ideas in just 5 days of its existence. Wow! Add your idea now.

As I was browsing through the ideas and some mailing list, a idea that just popped out of my head is that students can use the Ubuntu Brainstorm project as a platform for getting involved in Free and Open Source Software. What they have to do is just pick up an idea which they find interesting and start working on them. What more with Google announcing “Summer of Code 2008” edition, one can propose or develop on any of these ideas and go ahead implementing them. Whats really special about such an approach is that, you are picking up a “project” which the “community” has asked for, commented already. So there are better chances that you find more mentors who are willing to help, more users who are willing to test and ofcourse more chances of you becoming a “r0c|<$t4r" in the Free Software world.

What more?!! You can also help promote an Idea in your blogs and websites like I have done below. So.. what are you guys waiting for. Unleash the hell of ideas right *now* and students/developers pick your favourite idea *now*
