| Hello, I am Ratnadeep Debnath. I am pursuing a B.Tech course in Computer Science And Engineering in Dr. B.C.Roy Engineering College, Durgapur. I am deeply interested in getting involved with the FOSS movement and I am a Fedora user. I am interested in learning driver and kernel programming. I also love painting, photography and listening to music. I like reading novels, journals, comics and texts. As a part of my Engineering syllabus till the 3rd semester, I have studied C and C++. I have laid particularly more emphasis towards learning C as I want to go for kernel and driver programming. I am a member of DGPLUG (Durgapur Linux Users' Group) which is involved in increasing Linux awareness in the locality. It's a long journey ahead and I'm just getting started

| '''How did it all start'''
| | I am a Open Source contributor and wannabe hero, for fun! I currently contribute to the Fedora Project in Fedora Infrastructure and Fedora Cloud Working Group, and as an Ambassador. I am also working on [https://github.com/waartaa Waartaa] to create an revamp the user story on communication and collaboration around IRC. In the past, I have contributed to other projects like Transifex, Mozilla, Wikimedia, etc. I have worked as a full stack web developer and currently, I am working as a container tools engineer at Red Hat. I can speak Python, Javascript, Golang. |
| It would be wrong to say that I was totally unaware of the term Linux before joining the engineering course. I myself tried Turbo Linux (which I received as a Recovery media with my Compaq Presario Desktop). My father's colleague, Amal Biswas is a computer geek and he also used Fedora and other Linux distros. He advised me to use Linux. Then I came to the engineering college, and one day, two DGPLUG members, Subhodip and Ajitesh came to our classroom to tell us about FOSS. I liked the intro and I took the responsibility of noting down the names of interested students. Alas! there was a poor response from the others. Then, one day, Kushal Das, our alumni called us for an evening meet after the college hours. He introduced us to the existing DGPLUG members and told how they are contributing to FOSS. He told us other important things also. Then, finally the big day came, the Installation Fest in early 2008. I got Fedora installed in my Dell XPS M1530 notebook. The initial issues with Nvidia graphics card were solved and then I started using Fedora. I started with Fedora 8.

| '''Summer Training 08'''
| | |
| Another big thing that took place in 2008, it was the Summer Training arranged in #dgplug. The summer training proved to be greatly helpful in making me acquainted with various FOSS tools like svn, wiki, mailing lists, blogging,etc. We were taught some basic C, python. We were also taught about the shell, vim, gcc, gdb, etc. It was a great summer.
