please answer following questions
Why do you want to work with the Fedora Project?
I'd like to gain experience with open source projects and communities. I've developed software, but I don't have much experience working as part of a large group.
I would also like more experience with distributed systems and file systems.
I'm interested in a software engineering position related to distributed systems and open source after my Ph.D. Working with the Fedora community for GSoC would give me an opportunity to see what this would entail day-to-day. Since Fedora / Gluster are large communities, I feel it would be very good real-world experience.
Do you have any past involvement with the Fedora project or any other open source project as a contributor?
I've contributed to several scientific software packages as part of my research. The source for the software is open, but the development model is very different from the common model seen in open source communities.
Did you participate with the past GSoC programs, if so which years, which organizations?
No.
Will you continue contributing/ supporting the Fedora project after the GSoC 2014 program, if yes, which team(s), you are interested with?
Yes, I would be interested in continuing to work with the Gluster community, either on work related to my project or in other areas.
Why should we choose you over other applicants?
I have a lot of passion and interest. I want to make a difference. My experience and prior work suggests that I have a high chance of success. I think that GSoC is a great opportunity for me to learn how to work with open source communities and develop relationships with other developers that would enable me to make contributions in the long term.
