Questions to answer
Why do you want to work with the Fedora Project?
Fedora was the first Linux Distribution I used after hearing about Linux when I joined my Diploma in Computer Engineering Course. Since then, Fedora has been my primary OS for almost 7 years now. Fedora helped me understand how concepts like OS, Networks, Memory Management, etc. are actually implemented while I was learning them as a part of my Engineering Curriculum. I feel very grateful to Fedora and the Fedora Community with whom I could learn so much and I want to work with Fedora so that I can use the skills I have developed for giving back to the community with whom I grew up.
Do you have any past involvement with the Fedora Project or another open-source project as a contributor?
Yes, I have contributed to CernVM technology by CERN as a part of GSoC 2014.
Have you participated in GSoC in the past? If so, what year(s) and which organization(s)?
GSoC 2014 - Project: Streamline CernVM Contextualization Plugins, Organization: CERN-SFT
Do you plan to continue contributing to the Fedora Project after GSoC? If yes, what sub-project(s) are you interested with?
Yes, I would like to keep contributing to Fedora all year round, even after GSoC. I am interested in Automatic Atomic Host Updates and the Anerist project.
Why should we choose you over other applicants?
Having prior GSoC experience I am aware of the process, the efforts needed and I am familiar with the teamwork involved while working with the community and project mentors. I also have the passion and determination to learn and successfully complete the mentioned project. Specific to the Project, I have the both the required skills and the bonus skills mentioned for the project and the work is similar to my project at CERN.
