Please answer following questions.
Why do you want to work with the Fedora Project?
You [Fedora] have an exciting project with user feedback on package updates. I'm passionate about packaging.
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)?
Not with Fedora. I've written and contributed packages for Fink and [1], worked with Haiku OS for GSOC 2011. I'm currently a teaching assistant in a CS 1 course with Python and Pygame. I maintain 2-3 pypi packages.
Public code: https://github.com/jrabbit
Did you participate with the past GSoC programs, if so which years, which organizations?
Yes 2011 with Haiku OS. I also participated in GCI 2010 (as a student) and 2011 (as a mentor for Haiku).
Will you continue contributing/ supporting the Fedora project after the GSoC 2012 program, if yes, which team(s)/area(s), you are interested with?
Likely, I don't use Fedora currently however so I am unfamiliar with where my interests would be best applied.
Why should we choose you over the other applicants?
I'm new to Fedora and its systems and can provide a fresh look. I'm familiar with many packaging issues as a desktop user of Mac OS X (Homebrew, macports and fink all have failings).
