You and the community

The other two should be answers from members of the Fedora community, at least one of whom should be a Fedora Summer Coding mentor. Provide email contact information for non-Summer Coding mentors.
   • My answer: Dorrie is a web interface to build customized Fedora spin/remixes, enhanced user experience. user can tailor differ types of fedora install media via web. also provide a simple way to Fedora community create fedora live media.
   • My mentor's answer:
   • non-Summer Coding mentor answer:

1. What will you do if you get stuck on your project and your mentor isn't around?
   • In my opinion, one question have more than one answer, and work always can be in parallel. I can do something that I can do in this time, and ask somebody else for guide.

1. In addition to the required blogging minimum of twice per week, how do you propose to keep the community informed of your progress and any problems or questions you might have over the course of the project?
