Vipul Nayyar

I am a Computer Engineering student currently studying in Jamia Millia Islamia , New Delhi. I'm always on the lookout to learn new technologies and solve challenging problems.

I'm an ardent Linux Enthusiast and FOSS Promoter. After initially starting using Linux, I switched to many distros, time after time, but since I started using Fedora, there was no turning back. Fedora offers a very stable operating system to the end user, and at the same time, a very diverse and helpful community to anyone who wishes to be a part of it.

Who Am I ?

  • A CORE active Member of JMILUG (Jamia Millia Islamia - Linux User's Group)

Me and my team of JMILUG, a diverse group of Open Source Enthusiasts, keep organising events like Developer's Day, Hardware Freedom Day and various workshops throughout the year.

  • Joint Secretary - CSI-JMI (Computer Society of India -JMI)

As a Joint Secretary of the executive committee of CSI-JMI, a student run body, I build web applications on varied platforms and different languages from time to time.

  • Hacker at Heart

I love building new stuff and hacking my way through to solve a really messy problem. Be it any Hackathon, or a Tech Meetup in New Delhi, You're bound to find me in almost all the events. I really love spending my time at 24 or 48 hour long Hackathons, building or coding, the weekend away.

Activities within Fedora

Being a college student, my activities have mostly been on a very small scale, but still I try to make even a small impact if I can. These include:

  • Organising Fedora Meetups and Developer Meetups regulary on behalf of JMI-LUG.
  • Promoting the use of Fedora among my classmates, and helping them if anyone gets stuck anywhere.
  • Currently, I'm working on trying to package different softwares for the Fedora Repository
