My interests lie in open-source projects, such as Mozilla, Wikimedia, Fedora, KDE, Kernel, Videolan, LibPurple, Diaspora etc. in a descending order of priority.

Background
Red Hatter by day & Mozillian by night; I do a lot of web-wrangling and code-compiling day in day out. I'm a consulting-geek(!), and I do whatever it takes to keep up to it. None the less, I'm also a kinda-sorta multimedia junkie too!

ReMo: Present Goals (2 years OLD)
- Prepare and Rollout Mozilla India Site
- Try to get hold of mozilla.in, instead of mozillaindia.org
- mozilla.in is parked by some 3rd party, not under mozila ownership.
- Get leads (from Paul Osman etc.), to locate the domain-manager.
- Select the ready made mozilla-site repo, most suitable for community website & work on that.
- Presently hosting on Drupal, community site isn't properly synced in design and operation.
- Mozilla-Europe source looks promising - It's on PHP, and l10n friendly - mainly just rebranding & content creation required.
- Make it to be hosted at Mozilla's WebServer (if possible).
- Implement BrowserID for user login.
- Working on the API, it's not *very* stable yet.
- Not sure whether implement on the present site, or implement on the new upcoming site.
- Try to get hold of mozilla.in, instead of mozillaindia.org
- Update and Enhance the ReMo wiki section
- Take editor privilege for locked pages.
- As long my bugs are getting FIXED with my patches - I don't care for privileges.
- Although it ain't realtime - sucks a bit.
- Evangelize for /ReMo pages
- Pierros says, it's tough to implement & not worth the effort.
- Update the templates and automation system.
- Yet again, tough to implement (mostly because it's 'not MediaWiki')
- Take editor privilege for locked pages.
- Enlist Mozilla India in Mozilla Asia Community Map
- Categorize contributing ReMo-India w.r.t "Area of Expertise" and "Time Active".
- Meeting to schedule.
- Distribute the work between the ReMo-India, according to their skill and time-contribution.
- Meeting to schedule.
- Make ReMos to be connected to each other and report regularly.
