2. Please describe your experience with the organization's product as a user and as a contributor User: I am using Fedora distro in my computer Labs. I have using ubuntu since 2010.What I love is their common philosophy promoting open source and free software. While ubuntu is the most user friendly linux distro,Fedora stands ahead in terms o cutting edge software. One of the factors to be considered while choosing a repo is their community .Fedora has a good community. Though I haven't found many blogs. Also I find if you are going to working with python,ruby and developing web applications fedora is good. The Yum installer has always worked nicely

I am quite happy to have made my first open source contribution. I have learned a lot from submitting my first patch. My First patch was removing the integrity exception. It never raised integrity exception as it was expected. If accepted this would be my major contribution. This is what I learned I knew about version control and used to push my individual woks there. But I had improved my knowledge Test driven Development. Irc channels Flask Coding conventions and its importance Getting to know more about Porting from Python2-Python3

The experience instilled me the interest to learn more about OSS.

I learned about version control,standards used in coding. I also started subscribing the mailing list of many communities like python,django and Mozilla. I got involved with pyladies Bangalore group.
