Why do you want to work with the Fedora Project?
I really admire the community that is behind the Fedora Project and the vast, different options that a person can choose to contribute to. New people are motivated to join the community by the eagerness of present developers/packagers/contributors etc, and that is a huge plus. Having been involved only with Archlinux and Debian distributions so far, I find this a great chance to learn about a new distro's habits and internal tools, from yum to rpm packaging and other interesting things I have yet to find out.
Do you have any past involvement with the Fedora Project or with any another open source project as a contributor (if possible please add some references as well)?
This is the very first time I get involved with the Fedora Project, but I have contributed to other open source projects.
- I have been an Archlinux AUR package maintainer for 3+ years.
- I have contributed to GitLab.
- I help with the localization of different apps and documentation: transifex, mozilla.
- Recently I participated with some friends of mine from Hackerspace.gr to the NASA's spaceappchallenge and created this app.
- You can check my blog for a larger list of open source projects I am involved in.
Did you participate with the past GSoC programs, if so which years, which organizations?
- No, this is the first time.
Will you continue contributing/supporting the Fedora project after the GSoC 2013 program, if yes, which team(s)/area(s), you are interested in?
Of course I will and I am interested in being a Package Maintainer and a member of the Infrastructure team.
Why should we choose you over the other applicants?
I am very eager to learn new technologies and working on such a big project like GSoC will give me that chance. Being an open source enthusiast, I am willing to contribute to the Fedora Project even after the end of the program. I am also very dedicated to my assignments and easy to work with.
