Why do you want to work with the Fedora Project?
I have never been involved in something like this before, and would really love the opportunity to be able to give back to the open source community.

Do you have any past involvement with the Fedora project or with any another open source project as a contributor (if possible please add some references as well)?
No.

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 2012 program, if yes, which team(s)/area(s), you are interested with?
Of course. My interests lie mainly in

Why should we choose you over the other applicants?
I am a highly motivated and focused individual who incontrovertibly loves this kind of work. I have been involved in web development for over two years and server administration for about one year, and earnestly feel the need for the kind of work I am applying for. In addition, I will actively be using the final results of any projects that I work on, and therefore will be able to improve them and provide support for as long as possible.
