About Me

ALL views expressed here are my PERSONAL views and not those of any of the organizations I am affiliated with. I am an open source activist working for Red Hat. Former journalist and now also an amateur photographer. I have been part of the open source community since 1999 when I started IndLinux.org along with Prakash Advani. IndLinux.org is the pioneer in the localization of Linux to Indian languages when you see a Hindi user interface on Linux, that's work that we had started. I am interested in using techology as a tool to acclelrate socio-economic growth. That's what got me into localization because I believe that wonderful tools like the computer and the Internet should not just be the preserve of the English speaking elite in India.
