| I was born in small city Palanpur, which in Gujarat state of India.
|
| I have completed graduation in Physics and have masters in computer
| application.
|
| I came in touch with GNU/Linux when I got pre-installed PC with Redhat
| Linux 7.0 in college. I was surprised and amazed to see power of Linux!
| Then, with I took challenge to do localization of Gnome (and other) in
| my native language - Gujarati (gu) along with other team members of
| utkarsh.org as part of our college syllabus.
|
| Since, We have built Live CD runs as Gujarati as default desktop, I
| started to use Debian as my main distro since end of 2004. I also
| started contributing in localization of D-I last year and finally
| adopted ayttm and xosview as my first packages to give back something I can.
|
| I found that I can give more time to Debian. So, I took more
| responsibility of more packages - focusing on Indic related packages and
| packages that from Indian contributor (but not limited to this).
|
| My current areas of focus are: i18n, Indic packages, accessibility and
| general packaging. I will be happy to give my contribution in these
| areas as always.
