Hello everyone, I am Saiyad Mohammad Shahriar Tariq Munim Bin Manzur. (Yes I am aware that I have a pretty big name, in fact I could not finish writing my name on the registration form while registering for the school final exam.)

Anyway back to work, I am non techie person, I know less about the technical aspects of computer or Linux. Like many, Ubuntu is the first Linux distro I have tried. I believe that what I receive I should return it back to other. So I decided to give back to the Ubuntu community by providing my services on which I am knowledgeable. I am marketing student and I actually look after the marketing section of our Local Community Team in Bangladesh. Bangladesh is full of potential what it requires is the right guideline and I believe Opensource philosophy can help Bangladesh prosper.
