Why do you want to work with the Fedora Project?
I have been using Fedora for quite some while and I like it a lot. I have been considering to contribute to the Fedora project for quite a while but had a hard time taking that final step. The GSoC program seemed to me like the perfect opportunity to change this and therefore I decided to try and join this way. I would like to be able to contribute to the Fedora project this way in order to make it an even better distribution than it already is.
=== Do you have any past involvement with the Fedora project or with any another open source project as a contributor (if possible please add some references as well)? === Unfortunatly, as mentioned earlier, I have not been involved in the Fedora project other than using it.
Did you participate with the past GSoC programs, if so which years, which organizations?
I did not participate in past GSoC programs. I wanted to participate last year but was just a little too late.
=== Will you continue contributing/ supporting the Fedora project after the GSoC 2012 program, if yes, which team(s)/area(s), you are interested with? === I would very much like to continue contributing to the Fedora project after the project, preferably in the area I worked on in the GSoC since I would be familiar with this area.
Why should we choose you over the other applicants?
I have been studying software engineering for the past five years, the practical side as well as the academical side. I enjoy developing software and feel I learned a great deal about software development in these five years.
I have worked with a lot of different object oriented programming languages like JAVA, C#.NET, PHP, C++, Python. Using this programming languages to develop applications, school as well as my own projects, has given me quite some developing experience. I also take every possibility I can to try and learn new things.
Ofcourse I am well aware I still have a lot to learn and therefore I hope I will be given this possibility in order to further develop my skills. Also, as mentioned in the upcomming section, I have been developing applications dealing with networking multiple times in the past. I think this experience with networking in applications will be quite handy.
I have been working in groups a lot, interdisciplinary as well as with other software developers, which gave me a lot of experience in working in teams. Also for most of the school project I have done, I had to write documentation and reports. Therefore I also have experience in writing documentation.
In short
- Studying software development and computing science for past five year.
- Lot of experience in multiple programming languages and object oriented programming as a whole.
- Willing to learn.
- Experience in developing applications with networking, which is related to the project of my choice.
- Working in groups.
- Experience in writing.
