please answer following questions
Why do you want to work with the Fedora Project?
There are not many organizations that list projects thate involves python. Which is one of my main criteria as python is the language i am comfortable coding in. After some research I found that the project that I wish to work on. It caught my attention as mainly I had the required skills and the project made sense. Unlike few other projects that seemed vague (at least to me).
Do you have any past involvement with the Fedora project or any other open source project as a contributor?
No, this is my first attempt at working on a project related to fedora. Have dabbled in packaging in Debian after attending a Debian conference. Also a part of GLUG in my college.
Did you participate with the past GSoC programs, if so which years, which organizations?
No, this is the first time I am applying for GSoC.
Will you continue contributing/ supporting the Fedora project after the GSoC 2014 program, if yes, which team(s), you are interested with?
Yes I intend to.
Why should we choose you over other applicants?
I have experience in working on a similar project before. I have been part of the statistics development team of CampusDiaries which involved developing both a frontend and backend. While working on that project I coordinated with a mentor (or guide) who was doing his MS in USA. This has given me experience on how to communicate/coordinate well over the internet with my mentor.
