Hi,

  Almost start of the open source lang summit 2013. I think this is good time to list down things i am expecting from this summit.

  Happy that all my sprint plans are got accepted and excited to work on it.

    - Hacking Telugu and Kannada Open type table
Telugu does not looks possible but i am optimistic for Lohit Kannada2, lets see if we can have at least alpha ready...

    - Testing of Released Devanagari and Gujarati
Devanagari Beta is out last week and Gujarati Alpha is yesterday itself. Hoping we will have some more thorough testing for same.

- Lohit-ise (Will give small 10min presentation on this)
