About the project

  1. What is the name of your project? FSoC - Four Seasons of Code
  1. Does your project come from an idea on the Summer Coding 2010 ideas page? https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Summer_Coding_2010_ideas_-_FSoC
  2. The idea is to develop a web-based application which would allow Mentors and Students to collaborate effectively and get the process of mentoring automated.
  3. What is the timeline for development of your project? TBA
  4. Convince us, in 5-15 sentences, that you will be able to successfully complete your project in the timeline you have described.
    My preferred application programming languages are C, C++ and Java, and my preferred Web scripting languages are JavaScript, ActionScript and php. In terms of web development, I have created 2 websites completely in flash with actionscript, and 4 other websites made the normal way(html, CSS) but with a server backbone mainly using php and JavaScript.
    Im a very fast learner and if need be I will spend many hours a day learning anything im behind on.

Me and the Community

  1. If your project is successfully completed, what will its impact be on the Fedora community? Give 3 answers, each 1-3 paragraphs in length. The first one should be yours. The other two should be answers from members of the Fedora community, at least one of whom should be a Fedora Summer Coding mentor. Provide email contact information for non-Summer Coding mentors.
  2. What will you do if you get stuck on your project and your mentor isn't around? This is not likely as the project has two mentors, however, I would use any and all resources available to me to solve the problem.
  3. In addition to the required blogging minimum of twice per week, how do you propose to keep the community informed of your progress and any problems or questions you might have over the course of the project?

Miscellaneous

  1. Describe a great learning experience you had as a child.
