Why do you want to work with the Fedora Project?
I use Fedora Linux on daily basis and I would like to contribute to something I really enjoy to use. In general, I'm willing to make my contribution to FOSS and make contacts with super smart and innovative people (thanks to FOSDEM'14, I have no doubts they exist, in the Fedora team in particular) who do awesome work by maintaining the most cutting-edge Linux distribution (and not only that).
Do you have any past involvement with the Fedora project or any other open source project as a contributor?
I haven't had any involvement with the Fedora project yet, but I have made several contributions to coreutils, gnulib, Ruby programming language and some projects on Github (https://github.com/rev112, the_silver_searcher as a good example).
Did you participate with the past GSoC programs, if so which years, which organizations?
No, I didn't.
Will you continue contributing/ supporting the Fedora project after the GSoC 2014 program, if yes, which team(s), you are interested with?
Yes, I have a strong intention to find my place in the Fedora project, contribute regularly and make a real impact. Teams I'm interested in: OS developing, package maintenance, testing.
Why should we choose you over other applicants?
When I start doing something, I tend to finish it, and do it well. I also believe that my previous background and experience will help me to build something useful and working. Finally, I'm a romantic who is sure that everything which is open-source and free (as in freedom, of course!) will save the world.
