We have the following projects under consideration. Some of these projects are still under discussion and we will make all these projects start officially at the occasion of inauguration of GNU Lab. If you find any of the projects below, worth dedicating yourself to, please do team up as shown below.
#Name
at the corresponding project.
Also, please add the project ideas that you think is relevant under GNU Lab.




====#FREEBIRD====
====Malayalam calendar====
FreeBird is a GNU/LINUX based mobile robot based on atmel's avr32 network gateway board, ATGNW100. FreeBird is a robotic platform for engineering students to study programming. More about FreeBird is at the bird's [http://www.gnuvision.com/freebird home]
 
Project aims to computerize the Malayalam calendar system, so that keralite users can have their traditional, calendar displayed on the system.

=====Voice controller robot:Speech recognition extension to FreeBird=====
I can help integrating it with KDE. I'm working with Santhosh on Saka calendar for KDE. [[User:Pravs|Pravs]] 00:50, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

The project aims to have speech recognition extension to FreeBird. The ATNGW100 board used in FreeBird as such don't support audio input. So audio input is added with the help of ac97 audio-codec chip cs4202, as later speech recognition libraries are ported to the board to make the board respond to the voice commands.
====KTechLab for ATMEL AVR Micro controller====


=====Autonmomous Robot:Sensor extension to FreeBird=====
KTechLab is a Free Software Integrated Design Environment (IDE) for electronic and PIC micro controller circuit design and simulation.
Current version of KTechLab does not support Atmel micro controllers. Aim of this project is to add support of the Atmel micro controller.

Project aims to add ultrasonic and digital compass sensors to free bird. Enabling those pair of sensors make the robot move avoiding obstacles and report where it has been reached, using the digital compass. If obstacles are static, the robot can be programmed to trace back the way it went, by storing the information sent by the digital compass.


=====Wireless extension to FreeBird(under discussion)=====
====Web Admin Control Panel====


Project aims to have zignee modules added to FreeBird to enable it with the capability of wireless communication.
This project aims to contribute to the free web admin control panel projects, like [http://www.gnupanel.org/ GNUPanel]; an alternative for the proprietary C-Panel and WHM.


You can contribute to GNUPanel development in several ways:


====#GNU HURD====
    * Translating GNUPanel into other languages
    * Updating or improving an existing translation
    * Writing plugins and offering your programming skills
    * Contributing graphic design alternatives
    * Moderating a forum or answering questions


Department of information technology has been working in projects on GNU HURD, the original kernel for GNU softwares. Last year, students of the then final year batch did the famous HURD installer project. students of IT continues with those projects.

====#Malayalam calendar====
====Porting Free Download Manager to GNU/Linux====


Project Members:
Free Download Manager is a powerful, easy-to-use and absolutely free download accelerator and manager. Moreover, FDM is 100% safe, Free Software distributed under GPL license, currently available for Windows platform. The project aims to port it to GNU/Linux environment. More about Free Download Manger(FDM) can be found at http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/

====#Malayalam LCD- Display(under discussion)====
====Malayalam LCD Display(under discussion)====


Project aims to build a module, consisting of an LCD panel and a controller section, which as a whole, can display Malayalam in proper fashion, as in usual PC's. Scope of this project is enormous as it offers Malayalam display for the whole range of embedded systems. Complexity of the project is equally high, as it has to handle the rendering issues and algorithms, which are handled by the rendering engine in a usual PC(ie. pango for GNOME... QT based for KDE... etc)

====#Hardware OGG player(under discussion)====
====Hardware OGG player(under discussion)====
 
The ultimate aim of the project is to have a portable, complete multimedia system for the user, with which one can take pictures and videos, record it on free formats. Also it can act as a personal music player. Initially we expect to develop an ogg vorbis player, which can be later extended accordingly. So, design parameters also considers the scope for expanding the project to offer more...

===ACTIVITIES===
 
====Phoenix Group====
This group is dedicated for projects related to phoenix box. Phoenix allows you to develop science experiments  by connecting  sensor / control elements to a computer and access them through software.  Different state governments are considering deployment of phoenix box across the science labs as an effective teaching aid.
details about phoenix box can be seen here
http://www.nsc.res.in/~elab/phoenix/
Interested people can join the group by just listing their name in the below list,and start hacking!:)
 
====Language Team====
 
This group is dedicated for works on language computing including localization of GNU/Linux graphical interfaces Such as KDE and GNOME and even more advanced activities in the field of Language Computing Such as OCR, TTS systems etc... For more info checkout the [[/Language Team | Team Page]]
 
====Asterisk User Group====
====Asterisk User Group====
Asterisk is a great software that offers a lot in telephony. If anyone is interested, we could setup an asterisk based user group, which essentially does call forwarding to a group of volunteers available at the moment. That is, we have a system with asterisk in it, and the system is configured with the phone numbers of volunteers who wish to answer queries from people through phone during a given period of a day as they wish. So, asterisk can automatically forward the call from a user to the volunteer who is available at the moment. Interested students may list your names
below as seen in the example below. Team up and lets do it before MESTECH itself...:)
