hello to all of you I’m Harihara Sudhan, and I have a third-grade engineering degree. My experience with open source was a little different; for the previous year and a half, I experienced depression and social isolation. Prior to that, I had been a complete beginner in the field of computer science from my first year of graduating.I began experimenting with Linux during that time of loneliness. At first, it was somewhat challenging (I believe I was dual booting worngly for about six or seven times), but after that, it seemed interesting. Later, after discovering termux on Pinterest, I began using it. Later, after discovering f-droid, everything changed and I was able to degoogle my phone. I got lost in exploring it, and soon my laptop, mobile phone, and software became my entire universe.I am currently relishing every moment of it, and it was serene.I’m going to contribute to our community.I’m glad to share this with all of you. ---

Hi, Kartik Mistry here. I started with FOSS around 2000 when I encountered Linux in the college by overwriting Lilo config on my precious PC 😉 I was part of IndLinux (Did Gujarati localization for many years and still doing for some projects). Current hats: Debian Developer and Wikipedia contributor. ---

Hi everyone! I’m Udbhav, currently an undergrad student and I’m interested in security, web development, and design. I’m a big fan of FOSS creative tools like Blender, Inkscape and Audacity. I’m also planning to attend tomorrow’s Hyderabad meetup to meet people and see some of the talks! ---

So I’m Dirk, from Belgium. I’m doing an office job in the Brussels area. At home I’m using Linux since 2014 now. Tried and switched to different distributions, currently using Linux Mint Cinnamon. I use the computer mostly for creative things: graphics and music. My fav apps for graphic work are are Gimp, Inkscape, RawTherapee. For music I use Reaper, Mod Audio, U-He synths, … (not FOSS I know, but I’m glad it all runs natively under Linux). Within my friendzone, the existence of Linux is still a bit unknown. Let alone that people know that music can be made with (FL)OSS. For me the purpose is to spread the word, broaden the open source idea to more people, so they know they have possibilities too to be more creative in a free way. It can open eyes to more people or nudge other artists or the industry. In the past 10 years I saw a lot change and tons of new applications coming up (certainly in Linux music production). However, there’s so much variety but things are a bit spread and unconnected. I’d love to be updated and be in touch with interesting people via this community! ---

I’m always exploring the internet to find out stuff and this very instinct led me to this forum.Saw some cool stuff happening here so thought i’d come and say hi. Although not an avid contributor,I had been part of the FOSS ecosystem for quite sometime as of now.Developed an interest for Open Source during my highschool years and been using many tools and softwares ever since. There’s nothing i love more than working on cool stuff with people while exploring techstacks and i’d love to contribute to FOSS projects as i learn more about them. ---

Hi! I’m a FOSS enthusiast from Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala. Started using FOSS in 2015 after a computer repair shop installed Ubuntu on the home PC, though I was unaware of the Free software movement or the philosophy or hacker culture back then. First contribution to open source was in 2017 with Malayalam translation of [Pepper&Carrot](https://www.peppercarrot.com), an open source webcomic. Some years later, in college, I developed [pybatmesh](https://git.disroot.org/pranav/pybatmesh) to help people communicate during internet shutdowns, but that didn’t go as expected. First got to know about FOSS United in 2022 after using Frappe Books for an NSS charity food court, and later became the FOSS Club lead of my college. You can find me online on the fediverse, on random lemmy communities and [Disroot’s Akkoma instance](https://fe.disroot.org/@libreinator). ---

Bonjour Myself Pruthviraj, i have been not extensively working as full stack engineer. What I do is apply some logic on the go, experiment with stack overflow answers, develop by copying code. Coming to the truth, I am an software engineer and now I got this bug to unleash my true potential as software developer, looking to contribute for open source and learn as much I can by tinkering Thank you ---

Hey everyone, I have been building software applications since the age of 8. My first hobby project was a **device driver for Montezuma’s Return by Rockstar Games** , solving a **stuttering graphics issue** on my **Intel Pentium 3 with 128MB RAM and a 20GB HDD**. In **4th grade** , I developed a **key-swapping device driver** to fix my keyboard and assisted my father in **AutoCAD 2D and 3D design** for his **machine shop production line industry** during my 4th grade vacations. Over the years, I have worked with **100+ startups, enterprises, MNCs, and government bodies at both state and national levels** , spanning industries such as **mobile and web tech, blockchain, cryptocurrency, embedded systems, IoT, AI/ML in linguistic technology, NLP (audio & text), enterprise tech with SAP, cleantech, cybersecurity, fintech, foodtech, and insuretech**. I have been the **first engineer for many startups and research initiatives** , collaborating with **top-tier researchers across government-backed universities**. I have actively contributed to **IndiaStack, DroneStack (DigitalSky), and OpenForge**, an open-source e-governance initiative by the Indian government. Additionally, I assist **incubation centers and networks** in scaling their tech divisions and am involved in **medtech ML research products** for medical universities. My engagement with **FOSSUnited** spans multiple regions— **Belgaum in 2024** and **Pune in 2025** , where I participated in **FossHack 2025 under the banner of Fundsroom Investment Services**. Currently, I thrive in **low-level systems engineering** , working at the **intersection of WebAssembly, Quantum Computing, and high-performance computing** for **open-source development and large-scale global opportunities**. However, my **main forte** remains **critical software engineering and product building**. Beyond tech, I am the **Vice President of Public Relations at KLS IMER Toastmasters Club, Belgaum** , balancing my leadership role with my passion for software innovation. I have participated in **30+ hackathons** , often **building production-grade solutions overnight, solo** , taking projects from **concept to execution in record time**. For me, a **weekend well spent** is one where I get to **work on a challenging, fulfilling project that I can proudly add to my quiver**. I am always looking to connect with **like-minded folks** , especially those I met at **FOSSUnited Pune at DY Patil Intr University in FOSSUnited** , to build and contribute to meaningful open-source innovations.
