എല്ലാവര്ക്കും നന്ദി! > http://www.debian.org/devel/developers.loc ഈ മാപ്പില് ഇപ്പോള് പ്രവീണുമുണ്ട് > . മൂന്നു് പടികള് കൂടി കടക്കാനുണ്ടു്, പക്ഷേ അവയെല്ലാം സാങ്കേതികം മാത്രമെന്നാണു് ഞാന് പ്രതീക്ഷിയ്ക്കുന്നതു്. You can say DD-elect :) വിശദാംശങ്ങള് ഇവിടെ https://nm.debian.org/public/process/[email protected] http://db.debian.org/ എന്ന സൈറ്റില് മുഴുവന് പേരുടേയും പട്ടികയുണ്ടു്. 1706 ഡെബിയന് ഡെവലപ്പര്മാരാണു് ഇപ്പോഴുള്ളതു്. അതില് 8 പേരാണു് ഇന്ത്യയില് നിന്നുള്ളവര്. Ramakrishnan Muthukrishnan, Giridhar Appaji Nag Yasa, Varun Hiremath, Ganesan Rajagopal, Deepak Tripathi, Kartik Mistry, Kapil Hari Paranjape, Ritesh Raj Sarraf There is some more Debian Developers who are of Indian Origin but living outside India Jaldhar Vyas, Kumar Appaiah, Manoj Srivastava and Sudhakar 'Thaths' Chandra" Kapil Hari Paranjape is a Maths teacher at Indian Institute of Mathematical Sciences. Another interesting fact is Kumar Appaiah and Varun Hiremath were neighbors in IIT Madras hostel. Both of them are doing MS in US. I think I should also mention Christian Perrier here. He is i18n (internationalization) coordinator for debian and works very closely with us. He also comes to India often. Thanks again for all your wishes... Looking forward to being a part of bringing Free Software values of collaboration, peer-review, transparency and sharing to the rest of the society...

Background > ------------- > > I started using computers when I was 13, we had PCs with DOS at school > and we had to learn gwbasic! I came to know about GNU/Linux via news > paper articles but I got to use it only when I started my engineering > course. We had Red Hat Linux 9 on our college lab systems with > monochrome terminals. I was system administrator of college lab by the > time I was finishing my 4 year course and I got to try various > distributions - slackware, suse and many more small ones. We had one > debian server too in the lab. I was attracted by the Free Software > philosophy and we started a GNU/Linux user group a foss event > (http://fossmeet.in) in our college. I volunteered for http://foss.in > and started organizing many small foss events and regular meeting of > Free Software User Group Bangalore. We always focused our advocacy on > students and got many contributors. > > Free Software contributions: > I started my Free Software contributions via Debian Installer > Malayalam translations. We reactivated Swathanthra Malayalam Computing > (http://smc.org.in) and started maintaining translations of GNOME, KDE > and other Free Software. As a community we worked on all aspects of > language computing including fonts, complex text rendering, input > methods and other tools like spell checkers, text to speech systems > etc. We were part of Google Summer of Code in 2007 and I was a mentor > (students I mentored that year became mentors for the next year!). I'm > also helping with operations of Chamba Free/Open/Swathnthra/Libre/Mukt > Cinema Project (http://chambaproject.in). > > Debian contributions: > I started maintaining lekonee-gnome, a word press blog client written > by my friend and colleague Kushal Das. I was always eager to try newer > version of GNOME and KDE and so I started co-maintaining > libdbusmenu-qt. I came to ruby packaging when I wanted to package > diaspora federated social networking software > (http://diasporaproject.org/) in debian. I was involved in many ruby > gem transitions to new gem2deb based packaging helper. I have been > giving many debian packaging sessions and helped organize many mini > debian conferences across India (http://in2010.mini.debconf.org/and > http://in2011.mini.debconf.org/). > > Motivation: > My main motivation in Free Software is the spirit of building things > we need as a community. Since I had so many things in my wishlist, I > knew I have to get more people if I want to see all of them become a > reality. So my motivation in contributing to Free Software is to get > as many of my wishlist items a reality by working with people who > share the same wishlist or at least some items in it. The reason I > chose debian over other distributions is its volunteer and > democratic/do-o-cratic nature.
