About Me

I am Siddharth Shanbhogue, and I'm 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. I now work as a systems engineer, and am pursuing a career in UNIX and Linux Systems.

More About me

• Gained a Master's Degree in Computer Applications at RVCE, Bangalore.
• Learnt to use FOSS and wrote a few research papers based on FOSS and it's implementation.
• Multilingual in English (Fluent), Hindi (Fluent), Kannada (Fluent), Konkani (Native), Marathi(Partial) and Japanese (learning).
• Joined Cerner Corporation in 2014 as a UNIX Systems Engineer in the Infrastructure Domain.

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)
• Contributed tutorial posts to Linux blogs such as LinuxCandy.
• Helped out friends, family (and strangers in IRC as well as in person) with installation, configuration and troubleshooting of Linux based systems.
• Regularly promote the use of FOSS in my peer community, through Seminars, guest lectures and more whenever possible.
• Work on Automation in RHEL based servers using Shell Scripting in BaSh and KSh.

What I Want To Do

I want to improve the penetration, usage and community contribution in my city - Bangalore. As of today I do not see any activities or meet-ups happening towards promoting fedora or Linux in particular. This needs to change.

Future Plans

• 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.
• Work on Open Hardware projects with Pidora [Raspberry Pi with Fedora] and more.
• Learn more about RedHat Clustering, OpenStack and Docker
• Get Certified in RHCE, RHCSA and OpenStack Administration
