🔗 Why do you want to work with the Fedora Project?
Fedora 11 was the first linux distro I ever used and even though from then I've used many other distros, I always find myself coming back to Fedora again and again.
I'm using Fedora 15 currently (for me, the GNOME 3 desktop was a big attraction), but that's the part that I want to change. I've always been a user but never a contributor. It's time that I gave back to the FOSS community after so many years of taking from it.
🔗 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)?

🔗 Did you participate with the past GSoC programs, if so which years, which organizations?
I have not participated in past GSoC programs.

I have not really explored all the teams that come under Fedora. I am interested in the aeolus-project and
