Why do you want to work with the Fedora Project?
I've been a user of Fedora OS since the release of Fedora 15. I loved how it worked, the internal working of Fedora as an organization, and I loved its ideology of creating Free and Open Source Software. Fedora is all about open culture. Fedora is a pioneer among the open source organizations, to which I'll be proud to contribute to in whatever way I can.
Do you have any past involvement with the Fedora project or any other open source project as a contributor?
Yes, but not with Fedora project. I contributed at XDA developers to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP), developing cool new features and porting them to Android ROM for certain devices.
Did you participate with the past GSoC programs, if so which years, which organizations?
No. This is the first time I'm participating in GSoC program.
Will you continue contributing/ supporting the Fedora project after the GSoC 2014 program, if yes, which team(s), you are interested with?
Definitely! Regardless of the GSoC results, I want to contribute to fedora and help make it better. I'm an experienced web-developer and a UI design enthusiast. So, I'd like to work with the Fedora design and web team.
Why should we choose you over other applicants?
It is not just GSoC that would make me contribute to the project that I select. I will continue contributing to this project even after GSoC ends. The project GlitterGallery exactly aligns with the skill-set I have. Being a web-designer and UI design enthusiast I feel this project is exactly meant for me. Also, I’ve been observing this project from quite some time now. I’ve developed a complete understanding of the code-base of the project. All this makes me an excellent candidate for the project.
