I want to work on HyperKitty project because it will solve a decade old problem of archivers. The project will create a huge impact and I’m very much interested to work on archiver project.

Will you continue contributing/ supporting the Fedora project after the GSoC 2012 program, if yes, which team(s)/area(s), you are interested with?
Yes. I will continue with development of HyperKitty with Fedora Infrastructure team.
