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. I wanted to spent my time with a > community that would be an equal partner with Free Software community > and I wanted my voice to be heard by the community based on my > contributions (not to be rejected by people who are in positions of > power, acquired by privileged processes not available to me). > > Focus: > In debian I would like to focus on diaspora packaging, getting more > contributors by organizing debian events and mentoring new contributors. > > > -- > "[It is not] possible to distinguish between 'numerical' and > 'nonnumerical' algorithms, as if numbers were somehow different from > other kinds of precise information." - Donald Knuth > > -- > "Freedom is the only law". > "Freedom Unplugged" > http://www.ilug-tvm.org > > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google > Groups "ilug-tvm" group. > To control your subscription visit > http://groups.google.co.in/group/ilug-tvm/subscribe > To post to this group, send email to ilug-tvm@googlegroups.com > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > ilug-tvm-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com > > > > For details visit the google group page: > http://groups.google.com/group/ilug-tvm?hl=en > Manoj.K/മനോജ്.കെ -- "Freedom is the only law".
