Why do you want to work with the Fedora Project?
Being involved with the Community Operations team and contributing to Fedora has been a wonderful experience. GSoC offers me a rare opportunity to continue this involvement with CommOps and Fedora by spending my summers doing something I really love(metrics and contributing to Fedora) and making some really impactful contributions along the way.
Do you have any past involvement with the Fedora project or any other open source project as a contributor?
Yes, I have been involved with the Community Operations team since the past six months. Some of my past contributions include -
- Collaborated with Justin Flory on Women in Computing and Fedora article.
- Helped Jan Kurik organize F23 Elections ! Also compiled the post-election metrics. Read more about the F23 elections on the CommOps retrospective here.
- Compiled Fedora IRC metrics here
- Fedora Badges post for Newcomers : 'How to get started with Fedora Badges?' here.
- Some bug fixes for fedora-infra repo along with contributing to Community Blog and Fedora Magazine.
I am also a member of Fedora Women and recently started contributing to Fedora Hubs development too.
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 2016 program, if yes, which team(s), are you interested with?
I will, of course. I'll continue with the CommOps team and Hubs development. I am also interested in being an Ambassador(but that's for a bit later)
Why am I the best fit for this project idea?
I am really passionate about Data Analytics. With data, I want to understand and impact the community by bringing to light the critical issues along with identifying our strengths and weaknesses to help the leadership make informed decisions.My work in the Community Operations team at Fedora has revolved around these areas and I couldn't be more grateful for this wonderful experience and the awesome community.
Apart from that,
- I'm really passionate about open source, love the CommOps and Fedora community and I will continue to contribute to Fedora and CommOps even when the project ends.
So, Choose me ! Choose me ! Choose me !

- "Bee has been a founding member of the CommOps team since October 2015. In her time contributing to CommOps, she has helped with F23 elections (which was the fourth most participated in election in Fedora history), generated metrics analyzing impact at the FOSDEM conference and telling the story of Fedora's Ambassadors in quantifiable terms (and being featured on the Fedora Magazine for it), and added her unique perspective and wisdom into the decision-making behind many CommOps decisions. Bee has been an integral part of helping CommOps succeed." --Jflory7 (talk) 14:35, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
