Hello 
Iām Bharat, developer at a fin-tech startup in Bangalore. I write Python & JS for my day job and use Python, NodeJS or Golang for all my side projects.
I have a bunch of open source projects on my Github, I am also trying to write whatever I learn on my blog.
I love GTK and elementary OS, developed three desktop applications (one for elementary and two for GTK in general). I am also a big fan of Golang for its simplicity and speed. Other projects I love are FZF, MongoDB and Next JS.

Hi Everyone
I am Prayag, a freelance web developer (mainly doing page speed optimization work for WordPress)
I havenāt created any FOSS projects of my own but have done low-key contributions (like typo fixes in the documentation) in many projects (Github Profile).
Before moving to WordPress, I used to like Googleās Blogger platform (closed-source) and had created a few templates for it & answered queries about it on StackOverflow
Going forward, I hope to contribute more to open source

Hey everyone!
Itās inspiring to see so many people from India contributing to open source.
Iām Rohan. I love cooking as much as coding and have contributed a little to FOSS. My open-source journey started with Google Summer of Code, and along with that, I Led the Developer Students Club of my campus to promote community learning.
Recently, I started an open-source project to democratize NLP and Analytics for code-mixed text.
Anything involving Data interests me, and Data Engineering is what I do in Precog, the Social Computing lab of IIITD.
Looking forward to this weekend!

Hi, I am Bharath Kallur.
I have been into software engineering for nearly 10 years now.
I got introduced to OSS through talos framework of Mozilla almost a few years ago. Lost touch after a couple of reviews and could not do much here in OSS.
I got intrigued when I first used linux system back in 2008 and since then have never left. So most of the applications using on my machines today is OSS.
I am excited to be here to learn more, from the community.

Hi everyone. Nikhil here.
Iām currently working with a logistics startup Elasticrun and based out of Pune. Have been developing and designing enterprise solutions for close to two decades now and am a big user and advocate of FOSS.
I personally believe in todayās context software is as fundamental to technology / innovation as language is to knowledge/wisdom and hence it has to be free and opensource.
Absolutely thrilled to see the action and excitement FOSS united has generated and this first of its kind online hackathon was just a big success in providing a stage to so many budding enthusiasts, creators and developers and a forum for community visibility and participation.
