About Me |
Fedora is my favorite operating system as i find it simple, easy to use and best suited for my web application development environment. Also, as i have been contributing to fedora projects, i have felt a lot of improvement in myself which encourages me to keep on contributing to this project.
Yes, I have contributed to Anitya project and Pagure.
No, I am applying to GSoC for the first time.
Yes. Simple reason behind it is that projects are cool and cooler are the people who are maintaining them. There is just too much knowledge and experience in the fedora-infra team for me to stop contributing. The projects under fedora-infra team that i am most interested in will be Pagure itself. I think it is cool and with the growth rate it is having, i see it will be a lot popular in coming years. I also find Fedora-Hubs a very cool project. I will like to contribute to it too, in future.
In early May our summer vacation of college will start and ends by late of July; I can give my full time commitment to this project,. I assure dedication of at least 40 hours per week to the work and that I do not have any other obligations from early May till mid August. |
