We are trying to capture the list of Indian FOSS contributors here. This means, I suppose, Indians in India, as contributions of Indians in foreign is huge, and not a subject of the debate here. Also contribution to application software finds a place here. We could also think of adding background information on the developers like background: IT/Non-IT, Profession: Student/Employee/Entrepreneur, if employee - MNC or local. Big or small. This may help pinpoint the type or person who contributes to FOSS. Also, an important one, is the person contributing code in the course of employment?

Every month we will focus on a contributor and will capture information about the projects they work on; comments from friends, colleagues and other members of the project. Featured Contributor for April 2008 is Kumar Appaiah. He contributes to Debian project and is a Debian Developer. He is located in Chennai, India. More information about him is available here. You can add to it as well. |
There is another article trying to capture the challenges Indian FOSS contributors have to face.
