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


=== Why do you want to work with the Fedora Project? ===
===Did you participate with the past GSoC programs, if so which years, which organizations?===


I was introduced to linux last year. Out of all the available distros out there, because of it's simple UI and ease of administrative tasks, I liked Fedora the most. Working with fedora project will enhance my skills and I will be able to acquire more knowledge of open source programs which I won't be able to learn in college. My interest lies in contributing to open source software programs and Fedora Project is a very nice platform for it. I have been, in the past year exploring the operating system and the way in which it is managed by developers. While using the OS, I found that having desired packages at one place is very difficult and for the users who keep playing around with their kernel and start-up programs [I'm one of 'em], often have to re-install the OS and keep 'yum install' this, 'yum install that' for the required packages. In case of slow connections, it is a great pain. Hence, I would like to contribute to the proposed project [which will help in creating ready-made image(s) with the required packages] as it will be a great solution for this problem. Also, I will continue to contribute to the project, regardless of the status of my proposal.
===Will you continue contributing/ supporting the Fedora project after the GSoC 2012 program, if yes, which team(s), you are interested with?===


=== 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)? ===
===Why should we choose you over other applicants?===


1. No, this is my first time.

1. Yes, Definitely
I would like to contribute to:

=== Why should we choose you over the other applicants? ===
 
* I have 3 months free during this summer, so I'll be able to donate as much time as possible on the
project that I choose.
 
* I have hands on experience in C, HTML, python, bash.
 
* I have played quite a lot with source codes of programs, because in my institution, root access is not provided to undergrads. So, I have tweaked a lot of programs to suite our needs and compiled them for use on our workspace machines.
 
* I posses knowledge of subversion systems[SVN,git] and building Fedora live CDs.
