I previously contacted fedora-java mailing list for more feedback
Why do you want to work with the Fedora Project?
Fedora seems to have a large community of developers associated with it. My past encounters with them at various FUDCon's showed out their spirit and enthusiasm. Having worked in the past evangelizing Open Source, and doing some contributions, it makes sense to enter Fedora Project focusing more over Contributing as a Developer
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)?
I have been associated with Diaspora, contributing to their Android App, as also PodUptime.I happen to have created a sharing framework for Chamba Open Movie Project {chambaproject.in} which was by creating git-torrent{Adding torrent framework over jgit-Java Implementation of Git}. I also release various demo's and codes over at github.com/vipulnsward
Did you participate with the past GSoC programs, if so which years, which organizations?
This is my first try at GSoC.
Will you continue contributing/ supporting the Fedora project after the GSoC 2012 program, if yes, which team(s)/area(s), you are interested with?
Yes. I am interested to work with the Java Packaging and SIG group to provide better infrastructure for Java on Fedora
Why should we choose you over the other applicants?
I am willing to be associated with Fedora Project, for contributing more to the Java Environment. I have been a Java Developer for the past 6-7 years, and code mostly in it. So working over Java infrastructure makes sense to me. Considering my past involvement with Open Source Projects and Java Experience makes me suitable to complete the solution.
