Yes I started with [http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/devel.php phpMyAdmin] and sent out 2 patches, since it was my first time open-source contribution and I was inexperienced I couldn't do much and hence in the later August 2014 I started to contribute to the [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Firefox_OS/Developing_Gaia Gaia] - a front-end platform of [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS Firefox_OS]. The community was really helpful and I also sent few patches which were accepted this time.Since January 2015 I've been working on [http://www.gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/Development_Work_Flow GlusterFS] which is a RedHat product.

Proposal Description

Overview and The Need

Any relevant experience you have

As a contributor to glusterfs I have prior knowledge of the codebase,this would be helping me in integrating the new feature build for the geo-replication over the current features using C and Python wherever required.

How do you intend to implement your proposal

Refactoring will be done in the code base to a certain extent as discussed with the mentor and also the journaling feature - 'changelog' of glusterfs will be customised to serve the file-level synchronization.

A rough timeline for your progress

Final deliverable

Any other details you feel we should consider

I have keen interest increasing my Fedora and FOSS contribution. I also possess good knowledge of the project's codebase and I have been in regular touch with my mentor since path 2 months.
