Students of Shah Jalal University of Science and Technology (http://www.sust.edu) and few professionals start the first Code Sprint ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprint_(software_development) organized by Bangladesh Open Source Network (www.bdosn.org). Professionals from Tiger It Ltd, Nilavo Software, Webcraft  Bd Ltd, Arena Mobile and D.Net Bangladesh  are also participating in the sprint.
Supported by the CSE Society and OSN of SUST, the 3 days event begins with much enthusiasm. The programmer attending the Sprint will focus on 4 projects- A visual tool for quick website development, mobile tool for  stock price searching,  Development of a Bangla social networking site and a simple Bangla Input plug-in for Firefox.

The Sprint was inaugurated by Khnadaker  Tavir , Lecturer of CSE Department SUST and also addressed by the General Secretary of BdOSN.

In the morning 4 team leader explained their task to group members and start coding. Some open adda (Informal meeting) would be organized. First of these marked a overview of the dynamic programming languages. It was learned that now a days Python, Perl and similar scripting languages are gaining popularity because of their simplicity and strength. Students in the adda, asked questions ranging from developing   Robot to future career scope for the programmer.

The camp will continue till morning of the 17th August. On that day, all 4 team will present their final product. All the programming code of the sprint will be released under GPL after final modifications and testing, if necessary.

Regards

Munir Hasan
BdOSN, Bangladesh

জমি উপড়ায়ে ফেলে চ'লে গেছে চাষা
নতুন লাঙল তার পড়ে আছে, — পুরানো পিপাসা
জেগে আছে মাঠের উপরে :
সময় হাঁকিয়া যায় পেঁচা ওই আমাদের তরে!
হেমন্তের ধান ওঠে ফ'লে –
দুই পা ছড়ায়ে বস এইখানে পৃথিবীর কোলে।
