I've been involved with the Fedora project for almost two years now. I'm part of the design team, mostly directing my efforts towards GlitterGallery. I'm also Fedora Ambassador for the Asia Pacific region. I was a Google Summer of Code student in 2013 & 2014, and look forward to mentoring in the upcoming years.
Involved with the Fedora Project since 2013. Over the years, been helping out in multiple ways:


* I've co-authored GlitterGallery for the Fedora design team. v0.1 is out, though we're still shaky with getting it adopted. Read about it [https://github.com/glittergallery/GlitterGallery/blob/master/README.markdown on GitHub], [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Design/GlitterGallery Fedora Wiki] or [https://github.com/glittergallery/GlitterGallery/wiki/Get-Involved! help us deliver faster].

[https://sarupbanskota.github.io/fedora/2014/11/13/fedora-join-developments.html Read about it] or watch my [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HYYv0QpjPY talk from Flock 2014] that sparked it.
* Co-authored [http://glittergallery.net GlitterGallery], a collaboration tool for open source designers.
* I'm mentoring two students and working on creating a platform for folks to store their Fedora work history. Read about it: [TODO blog post, expected Nov 20, 2014]
* Along with Suchakra, led the redesign of the Ask Fedora Project
* As an ambassador, I'm constantly helping bring new folks to the community, although I have to admit I'm biased towards bringing involvement to the design team and GlitterGallery.
* Conducted front-end best practices workshops at local conferences
 
'''Ambassadors Team'''
 
* While in college, led the Fedora community, working towards attracting more Fedora users, and introducing potential contributors to starting points
* On a regional level, conducted installfests and workshops on a variety of topics ranging from generic FOSS introduction, version control, web development in Indian universities
