Self Introduction - Pranav Kant

[Pranav Kant]

Hello all,

As of this writing, I am final year undergraduate Computer Science
student going to graduate later this month (May 2015).

I have been doing package reviews for last few months, and now I have
just been sponsored into the packager group by Mamoru Tasaka.

In other FOSS communities, I am an active GNOME developer, and a GNOME
Foundation member. I started my GNOME contributions with GSoC 2014
being my first. I contributed to gnome-photos, gnome-online-accounts,
gnome-online-miners during the summer. After that, I kept contributing
to other GNOME modules regularly, mainly gnome-photos and gnome
-documents; consequently, the GNOME Foundation member.

I have also contributed to Mozilla in the past to necko group, and am
also a Firefox Student Ambassador and Firefox club lead for my college.

I am doing GSoC (2015) again this summer for libreoffice, and would be
mainly working on improving tiled rendering and integrating it into
gnome-documents via libreofficekit, and other potential consumers
(maybe evince). Michael Meeks and Miklos Vajna would be mentoring me
for this.

During the summer, I also have plans to join FUDCON Pune and explore
more ways of contributions to fedora. I am really excited about my
first step of contributions, being a packager, into fedora and hope to
be contributing to it in all possible ways that interests me in the
near future.

After the summers, I would be looking for a matching job, if possible,
but continue to contribute to FOSS communities including fedora.

Being a part of this wonderful community feels awesome, and I hope to
learn a lot from all of you in near future. In the end, I would like
to thank Mamoru Tasaka for sponsoring me into packager group, and
Debarshi Ray for his guidance which has immensely helped me exploring
new FOSS communities.
