Why do you want to work with the Fedora Project?

I really admire the community that is behind the Fedora Project and the vast, different options that a person can choose to contribute to. New people are motivated to join the community by the eagerness of present developers/packagers/contributors etc, and that is a huge plus. Having been involved only with Archlinux and Debian distributions so far, I find this a great chance to learn about a new distro's habits and internal tools, from yum to rpm packaging and other interesting things I have yet to find out.

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)?

This is the very first time I get involved with the Fedora Project, but I have contributed to other open source projects.

  • I have been an Archlinux AUR package maintainer for 3+ years.
  • I have contributed to GitLab.
  • I help with the localization of different apps and documentation: transifex, mozilla.
  • Recently I participated with some friends of mine from Hackerspace.gr to the NASA's spaceappchallenge and created this app.
  • You can check my blog for a larger list of open source projects I am involved in.

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

  • No, this is the first time.

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

  • Yes, I am interested in the roles of Package Maintainer and infra dev.

Why should we choose you over the other applicants?

  • Because I am willing to contribute and support project though out my life time.
