Dear all,

Shall we take this up and finish at least Atul's bio by November end, which
is usually the time we had foss.in.
What we need is, a crisp and sharp profile, what all contributions as
developer. projects worked on, initiatives taken on FOSS promotion,
contributions on the social end.

Thank you

Re: [Ilugc] Need to document the contributions of Free Software pioneers

[Srinivasan Sundararajan]

hi all,

as some (or many) might be aware, I am part of the faculty for M.Sc
(CS-FOSS) online course, offered by Anna University. For the subject
DIF7102 (Philosophy and Practice of FOSS), I could give the info about
10-15 foss contributors as assignment to the students for documentation /
collation, and share the info giving them the credit (with some editing, if
needed).

towards this, i would request you to send me (to srini...@gmail.com), the
links / references / info about the indian foss contributors. at present i
would like do info collation on the following 15 persons (selection based
on my own personal knowledge / interaction) :
Atual Chitnis, Kenneth Gonsalves, Raj Mathur  -- in memorium
Shakthi Kannan, Raman, T. Shrinivasan, Bharathi Subramanian, Thyagarajan,
Baskar, Girish, Welkin
Dr. Gora Mohanty, Narendra Sisodaya, Frederick Noronha, Sankarshan
Mukhopadhyay

I know there are many more -- would like to collect the links/references,
and hope to work on the info later.
thanks and best wishes
Srinivasan

It may be difficult for me to come up with such questions or interview them
directly, I being from Bangalore.
So, lets start with documenting each person, how (s)he was introduced to
FOSS, what motivates, whats the contribution,
how the community is now, how it should be in future, etc.
