About Me

As of now, I finished my CS degree. My nick originated from my friends. My pal rrajbe introduced me to Ubuntu. I started out on 8.10 but still use it. From that time I got to know a lot about the linux and It made me feel good whenever I sit before my machine. I also have Windows installed because some friends (who use my machine) don't want to shift from it.

Moving my college mates over to Ubuntu has been successful. Over 150 people enlightened thus far I help them when they are struggling with difficulties, but generally it is just fine.

First Step in Ubuntu

When I was in my early days of Ubuntu, I just used it for Internet purposes. Later I got into IRC where i found a vast exposure to Ubuntu.As a beginner, I just walked into the room and found people helping the new comers with a lots of personal interest and that impressed me in a way that added some more liking over Ubuntu.

My activities

* After three months as a normal user, it went ordinary. Then I thought of helping the guys who comes with some problems and I am satified with the work I do now. Later I started a classroom (##learners) with some basic classes. ibuclaw(Iain Buclaw) thought us the basics of LPI101. we got Pablo Rubianes came with a session talking about Ubuntu basics. Then we got a Non Ubuntu friend Sonicrules1234 and he took some basic classes about Python.

* On 07/06/2010, I attended a 5 days workshop on Ubuntu and I got to know a lot about the package maintenance and creation. I am thinking of starting a Linux Users Group in the college I studied and I am planning to join hands with Tamil Nadu Free Software Foundation and am fully fledged in spreading Ubuntu in the forthcoming years.

* My channel, ##learners is getting its life back. We got two classes now for C# by juju2143 and PHP by lenswipe. One of my friends is going to present a speech on a topic "A talk on how to decide which *buntu is best for YOU" and I am waiting for it For two weeks, bgs100 took classes on C. We are looking forward for many sessions and on 20/6/2010, I Updated logs in wiki pages itself link

* On 13/07/2010, I became Ubuntu Beginners Team member. I will continue my participation in the IRC and I will help at my level best.

* On 17/07/2010 I, along with FSFTN, conducted a two days workshop about linux in Velalar Engineering College, Erode and on that day we inaugurated our District Committee. About 300+ students and staffs attended that workshop.The sessions like python, Tamil computing, SQL and free software movement was made clear to the people gathered.

* We FSFTN people conducted a workshop in Kovilpatti and we got good response from the remote areas too :). I updated it in my old blog

* I created a group in launchpad for our college students and started a mailings list for posting their doubts. We are going organize classes on every sundays and We got about 250 people interested in those classes.We Inaugurated Nandha Linux Users Group on 22/08/2010 and 50 People came there for that meeting.

* On 14/09/2010, I went to my ex-college and Installed Ubuntu in 60 Machines of the college laboratory. On 19/09/2010 I am going to take sessions about Open source alternatives and Ubuntu Developers

My Future

Internet Relay Chat Basic Learning

I am using IRC mainly to increase my communication skills and learn about Ubuntu. Mainly I participate in:

• #ubuntu-beginners

  #ubuntu-beginners-team

  #ubuntu-beginners-wiki

  #ubuntu-youth

  #ubuntu-in

  #lubuntu

  ##learners

Firstly, I learned a lot from UBT about working as a team. Secondly, everyone on the channel is quite nice and promptly helps whoever may need.

My Hobbies

I like to play games in my machine, roam with friends and debug code. I enjoyed my college life, although it is rather busy and still now I am making frequent visits to my college and I am going to start a LUG in my college at August 22nd.

I like being alone and planning what I have to do next

Testimonials

As a good friend of Mohi's I've been very impressed with his work. Whether it's in the BeginnersTeam or the BT Wiki FG, or just about anywhere, it's always awesome. That being said, I completely support his application for BeginnersTeam membership. I also can say that if he chooses to go for Ubuntu Membership sometime, I will back him 100% on that as well. zkriesse 07-10-2010

I support mohi 100%. It's about time he went for UBT membership, and I endorse his application fully. He does great work, and has an outstanding sense of humor that really makes his application shine. -- paultag 2010-07-14 16:40:53
