Why do you want to work with the Fedora Project?

  I believe that free and open source software approach is for  human beings. I always wanted to join and serve to a community that drives free and open source software project. Fedora project is fully community driven, large scale project. Therefore I found that  fedora is the best place for me to start as a FOSS contributor. Fedora project is rich with many expert professionals who are looking forward to help others in the community. Fedora is also a popular project in the world and I am excited to contribute to such kind a of fruitful project.

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

No, I had no involvement with the Fedora project or any other open source project in the past. However I think it is not too late to start my open source contribution from this summer with the Fedora project

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

I have not participated in the past GSoC programs and hopefully this will be my first time.

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

I would definitely continue contributing to the Fedora project after GSoC 2013 program. I am interesting in Fedora Ambassadors team and Network Manager team.

Why should we choose you over other applicants?

I think The Fedora project should choose me for GSoC 2013 for the following reasons 

   I am a final year Computer Engineering undergraduate with strong technical background. I also have a good academic record (GPA of 3.41/4.0 accumulated over 3.5 years academic program)
   I would like to work with the Fedora project even after the GSoC 2013 as a responsible and active community member
   I have strong communication skills and experiences as a team player working with large number of people achieving a goal
   I am capable of learning new technologies and subject related materials in short time with available resources
   I can manage my duties under any difficulties and complete those successfully on time

I would definitely ensure that I can spend enough time for this project and complete this project as a successful project in GSoC 2013
