please answer following questions

Why do you want to work with the Fedora Project?

          I am an enthusiastic user of FOSS from last 4 years. I always wanted to work for FOSS. I had heard that fedora project team is working along with FOSS. So I want to work with Fedora project.

Do you have any past involvement with the Fedora project or any other open source project as a contributor?

           No, I do not have any past involvement as a contributor for an open source project but I have used open source tools extensively for my projects.

Did you participate with the past GSoC programs, if so which years, which organizations?

           No, I am participating in GSOC Program for the first time and I am very excited to work with Fedora Project.

Will you continue contributing/ supporting the Fedora project after the GSoC 2013 program, if yes, which team(s), you are interested with?

           Yes, I will continue contributing and supporting the Fedora project after the GSoC 2013 program. I am interested in working with Fedora Development Team.

Why should we choose you over other applicants?

           I have been an open source user and enthusiast since the last four years. I'm one of the co-ordinators of open source community in my college and have organised various FOSS Meets and hack-a-thons. I have always wanted to contribute to major open source projects.I solved few bugs in gnome-calculator, log in screens, but I didn't submit them to fedora project.
   I have contacted Alexandr Egorov and have gained utmost knowledge of what has to be done regarding the project with which i hope to be working on. I investigated the ways of implementing the specific features which the project targets such as CLI, JDBC, MySQL etc., Being an enthusiastic programmer myself, I understand the importance of the CLI for databases, and I am very interested to work on it.
