About Me

Hello, my name is Siddharth Shanbhogue. I am from Bangalore India. I have been using Fedora and other Linux based Operating Systems for more than 8 years now, and I am a novice when it comes to development, but I want to give back to the community that I have learnt so much from.

More About me

• Pursuing a Master's Degree in Computer Applications at RVCE, Bangalore.
• Learning to use FOSS, writing research papers based on FOSS and it's implementation
• Multilingual in English (Fluent), Hindi (Fluent), Kannada (Fluent), Konkani (Native) and Japanese (learning).

What I Have Done

• Worked on and built an LFS (Linux From Scratch) build in 2011, targeted at the student community.
• Worked on a Network Login Management System for my College (based on Ubuntu clients & a Debian server)
• Contribute tutorial posts to Linux blogs such as LinuxCandy.
• Helped out friends, family (and strangers in IRC as well as in person) with installation, configuration of Linux based systems.
• Regularly promote the use of FOSS in my peer community, through Seminars, guest lectures and more whenever possible.

Future Plans

• Remaster a Fedora based System for my college (which is currently using remastered Ubuntu systems)
• Begin contributing and continue to work on Linux based Systems and start application development as well.
• Work more actively towards tutorial contribution to informative blog sites, including my own.
• Work towards hosting and conducting FOSS events in my College and University.
