Why do you want to work with the Fedora Project?

Do you have any past involvement with the Fedora Project or another open-source project as a contributor?

Yes.

I contributed in the Documentation of OpenStack. I learnt the workflow of sending a patch-getting it merged.

Have you participated in GSoC in the past? If so, what year(s) and which organization(s)?

No, I have never participated in GSoC before.

Do you plan to continue contributing to the Fedora Project after GSoC? If yes, what sub-project(s) are you interested with?

Yes. I will continue contributing to Fedora as much as I can, especially Fedora-Infrastructure projects. Also, Fedora-Hubs is full of possibilities. There are so many features and ideas which can be implemented. It would be really great to be a part of it.

Why should we choose you over other applicants?

I possess the knowledge of code base of Fedora-Hubs. I have worked in the making of 5 widgets(Pagure PR, Pagure issues, Github PR, Github Issues and Bugzilla Widget) uptil now for Fedora-Hubs.
I am willing to contribute to Fedora-Hubs and support the project even after GSoC
I have a good working knowledge of Python, Flask, Git.

Have you contributed to any other open source organizations or projects? If so, do you have artifacts you can show so we can see your skill set(s)?

I have contributed to OpenStack Documentation before. Stackalytics: http://stackalytics.com/?user_id=dhritishikhar&project_type=all&release=all&metric=all&company=

Do you have any other open source experience (even if not coding-related)?
