Was the Ubuntu India contact for Ubuntu/Debian Project Day during FOSS.IN 2007, which was a very successful first appearance of Ubuntu India Team though we couldn't manage to bring any bigshots from Ubuntu community. Also got a late realization and joined the Ubuntu Bug Squad and ever since been doing Bug Triage whenever I got some time. Currently representing the Ubuntu India Team for Global Bug Jam and also organizing a series of exposure sessions in Bug Triage and basic Packaging along with fellow members ["Anjhan"] and ["OnkarShinde"]. |
