Hi teRHe! One of my dreams for the last 4 years has been to help the Bangladesh IT industry expand and be enhanced by IT workers having the opportunity to join us, and also to enhance Bangla language support in Linux.
Thanks for your interest and great effort!
I GPG signed and identified 4 people by their passports and other official ID, on the chance that they may want to become maintainers. Two have decided to go ahead, and I mention them here. It would be good if some Mentors got in touch with them. They are: Salahuddin Pasha <salahuddin.debian@gmail.com> Jamil Ahmed <itsjamal@gmail.com> I believe that Salahuddin is an active participant in the Bangla localisation effort for OpenOffice.org (or is it Jamil - please correct me?)
It is me. :)
I believe they are both already quite active on some Debian mailing lists. Thank you for helping them. I am looking forward to the Debian Community embracing them and encouragin them with open arms. It is good to see another corner of the map soon to have a red dot on it!
Some introduction of me:I am Jamil Ahmed from Dhaka, Bangladesh. Professionally I am working in a local software development company. In my spare time I do maintain some activities for Open Source, mainly localization. Currently I am maintaining/working Bengali/Bangla L10n for Debian, Fedora, Mandriva, OpenSUSE, Gnome, Firefox, Thunderbird, OpenOffice.org .
I will try my best to work for Debian. I hope I will get necessary assistance from you when required. :)
Regards, `Jamil
