Why do you want to work with the Swathanthra Malayalam Computing?

SMC aims at providing Malayalam Linguistics in Computing. Being a Keralite, I find it pretty patriotic to provide back to the Society. As Computing is my area of interest and expertise, I believe this is one of the best chance at it.

Do you have any past involvement with the Swathanthra Malayalam Computing or another open source project as a contributor?

Nope. I haven't contributed to any open source project yet. This would be a good start.

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

No, I've not participated in GSoC programs before.

Do you have other obligations between May and August ? Please note that we expect the Summer of Code to be a full time, 40 hour a week commitment

Yes.I do have some volunteering at college but nothing too important that I can't spend 6 hours a daily.

Will you continue contributing/ supporting the Swathanthra Malayalam Computing after the GSoC 2014 program, if yes, which area(s), you are interested in?

Sure. I would maintain my projects regularly with updates and bug fixes. I am obliged to do that.

Why should we choose you over other applicants?

I am an active member in community discussions on programming like <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/users/2151172/augustus-francis">StackOverflow</a>
