Why do you want to work with the Fedora Project?
I love linux and I use Fedora as one of my main operating systems. I think fedora is a great operating system and fedora is a great community. I believe GSoC will be a good opportunity for me to take part in the community and make some contribution ;)
Do you have any past involvement with the Fedora project or any other open source project as a contributor?
- I participated in translating the document of Jekyll into Chinese, you can find it on http://jekyllcn.com .

Will you continue contributing/ supporting the Fedora project after the GSoC 2012 program, if yes, which team(s), you are interested with?
I will. I think I will continue to develope the project (shumgrepper) that I work on. And there are some other Python/Node projects that I am interested in, such as fedmsg, I am sure I’m going to make much effort to develop them in the coming future.
