About me
Hi,
I am Rajan Vaish from India. I have been serving as Fedora Project Ambassador since Summer 2008.During which I have been promoting Fedora Project and motivating people to use Fedora at school and work. I served as lead member of Linux User Group at Jaypee University of Information Technology,Solan,India and gave a talk at Winter Academic Program 2008 at JIITU, Noida, India
Lately by participating at Google Summer of Code,I got an opportunity to intern for OLPC ( One Laptop Per Child ) and to develop a Geography teaching tool for children using Open Source technologies like OpenLayers,MapServer,GeoRSS and QGIS,where I also have to develop installer/packages for Windows/Linux (OLPC XO Laptops run on Fedora)/Macintosh of the tool created.
I have not contributed to the Linux community earlier but with my existing knowledge and will to learn more and with my coming experiences with OLPC ,Fedora is going to last in my life forever and thats the platform I will be using for my final year project where I will be implementing a Ph.D thesis on a Computer Networking project from Stanford University.In the contributers program I saw that one can contribute in a number of ways,so I can help the community grow by spreading word about the same in my University and bring more value to the Fedora group.At times I can contribute to the Web Development and I have also worked on Internationalization while working on Google Gadgets within 10 days of their release they have a statistics of more than 150 queries per day.I would love to be part of Fedora Ambassadors Program and contribute in anyway I can.Thanks !!
