Background:
I'm from Spain. I study on the University of Seville. I've been working as Linux System Administrator and Community Manager for a free software quiz program for 2 years. I have worked in some companies and I have experience with network security, network management, virtualization and systems.
This is my third year that I apply with the GSOC project. I have work with the Netfilter project in the GSOC'13 and GSOC'14. And I have some contributions in this projects:

https://git.netfilter.org/libnftnl/log/?qt=author&q=Alvaro+Neira
https://git.netfilter.org/nftables/log/?qt=author&q=Alvaro+Neira
I work hard and I want to learn more and I think that work in this project is the best way to do it.
Project title
Apport for Debian
Project details:
Apport intercepts Program crashes, collects debugging information about the crash and the operating system environment, and sends it to bug trackers in a standardized form. It also offers the user to report a bug about a package, with again collecting as much information about it as possible.
Synopsis: a short description.
Intercepts Program crashes, collects debugging information about the crash and the operating system environment and report it.
Benefits to Debian
Offer to the user a crash detection tool and also use it as reporting tool.
Deliverables:
Display bug reports - If connected to the internet, pull in all bug reports (with the particular usertag?) and display it to the user, for possible duplicate
Scan bug reports - If we pull in the bug reports, try to do a crash signature scan, to guess possible duplicate.
Offline functionality - What about Debian boxes that do not have network, or are behind a firewall???
Project schedule:how long will the project take? When can you begin work?
I can start working as GSoC'15 starts
Exams and other commitments:
I'm going to have two exams in June, but I have already begun to study and I'm not going to have any problem. I can work hard with the project.
Other summer plans:
I expect to have a long vacation.
Why Debian?:
Why not? I mean, It's Debian... Work with you will be a dream for me.
Are you applying for other projects in SoC?
I want to. I'm trying with the project Qemu
