| I am Vidya from India and a proud Ubuntu user. From a dual-boot PC (in early 2005) to a full Ubuntu PC running Breezy today, my Linux journey has been a very positive experience. I had always wanted to volunteer and this came true with the "ship-it" program, which not only provides latest version but also helps spread the Ubuntu-cheer around. Another thing I like the most about FLOSS is the open attitude and freedom granted to anyone with an interest in learning Linux. Each individual has an equal opportunity as there are no irrelevant restrictions on the basis of country, age, qualification, gender, etc... to learn & improve their skills as per their interests, | ''' Hello and Welcome ''' = SVAKSHA = I dont maintain this wiki-page regularly.

I plan to distribute the Breezy CD's to local school students and schools. 1. Increase volunteer translators for Sanskrit. Main impediments are that its a classical language with '''zero''' commercial value resulting in low interest as its practically considered a dead language by many people. 2. Action plan is := Rather than just evangelising about Ubuntu-Linux and handing out free CD's, a more focussed approach would be to target specific people (non-Linux users willing to try Ubuntu) and install/dual-boot Ubuntu for them if they cant do it themselves. 3. Collect old computers and install Ubuntu and donate these to students/people/NGO's who cannot but new machines. 4. With the setting up of our [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IndianTeam Ubuntu-IN] team, we plan to spread Ubuntu among local companies, Laptop and PC vendors. 6. Increase the visibility by representing and promoting Ubuntu at local FLOSS events. |
