Questions to answer
Why Fedora?
I am an enthusiast of open source software development and was exploring new open source software projects to work on as a long-term contributor. When I discovered that Fedora has many projects which are suit with my passion and interest of web application development, my attention was instantly drawn to it and I found out that it is a great place to learn something new. Also it consists of a very helpful community which supports new contributors who are willing to contribute with their knowledge.
Do you have any past involvement with the Fedora Project or another open-source project as a contributor?
I am participating in a FOSS project for the first time and I do not have past open source project experience. However, I am willing to work on it with my full effort as a long-term contributor of Fedora.
Have you participated in GSoC in the past? If so, what year(s) and which organization(s)?
No,This is my first time.
Do you plan to continue contributing to the Fedora Project after GSoC? If yes, what sub-project(s) are you interested with?
Yes,I would like to continue contributing to Fedora Project after GSoC. I'm interest in project-atomic rpm-ostree project(operation history support).
Why should we choose you over other applicants?
I believe there are many reasons for selecting me over other.
Have you contributed to any other open source organizations or projects? If so, do you have artifacts you can show so we can see your skill set(s)?
No,I have not contributed to any other open source organizations yet.
I'm member of https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/users/9982/jadd22/, I used to provide solution to some general problems regarding fedora.
Proposal Description
Overview and The Need
Any relevant experience you have
As a contributor to glusterfs I have prior knowledge of the codebase,this would be helping me in integrating the new feature build for the geo-replication over the current features using C and Python wherever required.
How do you intend to implement your proposal
Refactoring will be done in the code base to a certain extent as discussed with the mentor and also the journaling feature - 'changelog' of glusterfs will be customised to serve the file-level synchronization.
A rough timeline for your progress
Final deliverable
Any other details you feel we should consider
I have keen interest increasing my Fedora and FOSS contribution. I also possess good knowledge of the project's codebase and I have been in regular touch with my mentor since path 2 months. link title
