I am Ankur. I'm a Masters of Engineering (Research) student at the University of Technology, Sydney. I've been contributing to Fedora for almost five years now. It started with [[User:Sundaram| Rahul Sundaram]] taking a font packaging workshop. I've come a long way since then, but am still quite a learner. 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.

I'm currently a PhD candidate at the Biocomputation group at the University of Hertfordshire, Hatfield, United Kingdom.

I've been contributing to Fedora for a while now. It started with Rahul Sundaram taking a font packaging workshop. I've come a long way since then, but am still quite a learner. If there's anything I can help you with, feel free to ping me either over e-mail or one of the IM channels.

Note: Since I'm not in India, I cannot service media requests from India currently.

Where/when to catch me

I'm in quite a few Fedora IRC channels, and lots of mailing lists. I should be around from 1100 - 1700 BST (British Standard Time) throughtout the week. Ping me anytime, and I'll respond ASAP :)
