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)?

This is my first experience in participating in GSoC.

Do you plan to continue contributing to the Fedora Project after GSoC? If yes, what sub-project(s) are you interested with?

I have already planned to contribute to Fedora projects continuously. I am fascinated with Fedora-hubs and Fedora developer portal and I have already started to contribute. Since there are a lot to complete in the said projects, Fedora will need the commitment and the support of the contributors even after GSOC. Also I have found interest in learning kernel programming too. Undoubtedly, Fedora is the best way to seek my desired paths.

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.

Do you have any other open source experience (even if not coding-related)?

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
