Why do you want to work with the Fedora Project?

I love Linux, and contributing to Linux open source organization is my thing. That's why I want to contribute to Fedora Project and its ecosystem of applications. Contributing to Fedora Project is matter of prestige and personal satisfaction which I'm going for. I find great motivation in coding and since I'm using Fedora as operating system I would love to work on Fedora Project.

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

I have worked on couple of really small open source project's which are visible on my github account. Also, I have contributed on some of the open source software on my college, like KalasnikovDB and HalyconTV. Also I have worked on MCU WebRTC server called Lynckia which was reforked to LicodeProject.

Did you participate with the past GSoC programs, if so which years, which organizations?

Personally I did not, so I am very looking forward to participating this year.

Will you continue contributing/ supporting the Fedora project after the GSoC 2014 program, if yes, which team(s), you are interested with?

Yes, I would love to. GSOC program really presents a great chance for me to do so. I'm looking at making 2 application this year on fedora project. First is on project waartaa were I would love to implement WebRTC communication to project. Since I have alot of experience with WebRTC and NodeJS I feel very confortable in doing this project. Second is web hosting control panel project in which I have also great deal of personal connection with. Since I would really need and take great advantage of this project for personal use I really want to make this. I have already made some initial mockups and designs for this idea and I'm expecting a soon reply from mentors.

Why should we choose you over other applicants?

Well I'm excelent in problem solving in general. I love to work with Javascript and Python and I'm searching an open source organization which I can call my home. Somewere where I can utilize my skills and have that feeling that I'm doing something good. Really hope Fedora Project is that organization. Looking forward for future collaboration.
