Questions to answer
Why do you want to work with the Fedora Project?
I started my Linux journey with fedora 20. Fedora has been my best friend for 2 years. I find it a really marvelous OS, so I cannot go back to Windows OS. Now I finish my slides, edit images, chat with friends, surf the net, and do all of my daily chores on fedora, I cannot leave it! I have gotten a lot from fedora, so now I want to give back. I have participated in some other open source communities, and now I want to sharpen my skill and try to help fedora community!
I think people in fedora community are all visionary and like to be the early adopters. If I learn here, I think I will earn a lot of experience, and face the future better!
Do you have any past involvement with the Fedora Project or another open-source project as a contributor?
Yes, I usually contribute to Fedora Taiwan Community, Vim Taiwan Community, Mozilla Taiwan Community, or some other open source community in Taiwan. What I contribute to are all about front-end.
Have you participated in GSoC in the past? If so, what year(s) and which organization(s)?
No, this is the first time to participate GSoC for me.
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 continue contributing to Fedora Project after GSoC. I'm interest in Cockpit Project.(Which might need me for front-end.)
Why should we choose you over other applicants?
I think there are some reason:
- I use fedora on daily basis and wouldn't change (Just like Jakub Skořepa ;P)
- I also suggest my friend to install fedora for daily life because I find it easy to use, not only for submitting report but also to develope software
- I have contribute to many open source community websites, so I have the ability to contribute to fedora in front-end.
Therefore I know what a front-end developer would know.
Have you contributed to any other open source organizations or projects? If so, do you have artifacts you can show so we can see your skill set(s)?
Yes, as I said, I usually contribute to Fedora Taiwan Community, Vim Taiwan Community, Mozilla Taiwan Community. Here are some of the repos:
