About Me

I am Shree Kant Bohra a Free and Open Source Software advocate, a programmer at heart, an engineering student by choice and a writer by virtue. I am a contributor to Sahana Open Source Disaster Management Software, I program firefox addons, write code in PHP, I am learning python these days. I support open standards, love to help others become a geek.

I am fascinated by Semantic web and data mining. I love to take part in challenges and competition and always open to the opportunities of being part of any cool open source project.  Many people think I am a dumb, hopeless geek, so true!

    Hey Shreekant ,

    I’m Ajith, Software engineer working in Samsung softwares , India.
    I was browsing for inspiration to work on foss , and found your mail about your experience in setting up LUGB. Kudos on that!..
    Anyways, I am B.E graduate(2009) in Computer Science from SJCE Mysore, Karnataka. Though a graduate in CS, I really got inspired to Open Source late in my engineering life. So by the time this happened I was already in corporate world.
    I’m beginner in Open Source world and posses moderate programming skills. I’m fluent in C,C++, Java like all others and I’m doing my bit learning Perl and now Python.
    I m currently working on Android. I have been exposed to MySQl , CGI, PHP and Perl before.

    This message to you is really because I want to contribute to Open Source , but don’t know how and where to do it. I need guidance and could really use some help.
    Like you , I am programmer at Heart and engg student by choice. I tried for GSoc 09 but din’t make it through, after which I made a mistake of giving up. Now I really want to work and make my contribution to the Open Source world.

    All I’m looking for is a Place/Person/Organisation that can act as my mentor an help me increase my programming skills and parrallely contribute to Open Source.
    My email Id is sjce.ajith@gmail.com. You can get further contact details from my blog
    Waiting eagerly to hear from you.

    Cheers,
    Ajith
