Hello 
Iām LyzaTeal, a student high school in Singapore. Iām hoping to get great enough A levels results to get into the National University of Singapore, and hopefully, get into the electrical engineering course. I play Vainglory (username: LyzaTeal) and enjoy reading books, both fiction and non-fiction in my free time.
I donāt know any coding languages well, although Iāve done a little Arduino and C programming for a few weeks
Iām hoping to learn more about coding this December though!

Hello everybody. I would like to participate in FOSSASIA.
Iām student at National College āAurel Vlaicuā Orastie. My name is ANA and Im 17. Because next year I can NOT compete, I want this year's Google Code-in remains a beautiful memory. This year, Im for the second time participating on Google Code In. I am very glad to live these moments again and sorry to grade 9 I not attendedā¦The programming languages Iām good at C ++, and I would like to learn Python and Java, and to do this once. I am introverted and I love to read both authors known (Jules Verne, Agatha Christie, Mihai Eminescu, Victor Hugo, Leo Tolstoy) and authors less known who hope to be discovered and the rest of the world as soon as (Ionel Teodoreanu Irina Binder, Michael Nemes, Cristina Nemerovschi)ā¦Most adore me to live with character the story and emotions. 
My passion has helped me in school but in real life, learning of facts and events characters. After reading, I like listening to music, generally I choose songs by my mood.
My motto in life is: āMake your life art, that your art come aliveā, that I discovered a few years ago.

Hello everyone,
I recently introduced myself in the chat, but was encouraged to do so here as well, so I will!
I am an archivist working at a regional government archive in Sweden, and I am involved both in paper and electronic archives work. My unit is responsible not only for old records, but for current (electronic) records as well, and thus I have experience in trying to influence our software infrastructure and stakeholders in the organization to for example use and collect metadata according to archival standards. Software engineers have a tendency to focus on problems here and now, and thatās where us archivists step in to ensure that technical and organizational solutions also take the far future into account 
I am a avid user and promoter of free software, and using free software is clearly the most suitable thing to do for any organization whose goal it is to preserve electronic records. Sadly my organization is utterly swamped and locked into a plethora of closed source systems - I am trying to change this as much as I can, I recently found and lobbied hard for a AGPL-licenced archival description software that we will use, but there is a huge software infrastructure that I simply have no access to beyond that.
However! I am a trained archivist with a special focus on long term digital preservation, I have experience with medical records authored between 1766 and today, and I have some understanding of programming, so perhaps I can help LibreHealth out! It is a great initiative, and I wish that someday my (publicly funded no less) employer will escape the clutches of closed garbageware into something like LibreHealth. Our archival law requires us to preserve (essentially) all medical records safely for all eternity - I donāt think weāll do that with MS & co.
These are questions I perhaps could help with regarding software components:
- Metadata collection when creating/maintaining records - what fields are present, are they forced, and how does these things hold up to archival standards
- Lifecycle thinking - is there a way to backup/export records for archival storage, preferably using formats and standards that are appropriate for archival grade records.
Where could I find information on such parts of LibreHealth?
Also, Iāve done proof-reading of English (mainly academic) text before, thus I could help clean up grammar etc. if that is needed anywhere. Also, I can translate to/from Swedish/English.
