I am Ankur, currently working at Deloitte India Private Limited, Bangalore. I've been contributing to Fedora for almost five years now.

If there's anything I can help you with, feel free to ping me either over e-mail or one of the IM channels.
I'm currently a PhD candidate at the [http://biocomputation.herts.ac.uk Biocomputation group] at the University of Hertfordshire, Hatfield, United Kingdom.
