Hey, This is Akshay Shipurkar (akshays), I'm currently completing my final year of
Computer Engineering from University of Mumbai.
I was introduced to fedora through DGPLUG (Linux Users' Group Of Durgapur) an
organization which teaches and helps students to grow and become up stream contributes.
Although I have recently joined the community, I have been helped by many members of the
fedora community and i aspire to work with them to learn and contribute to the greater
goal of the fedora community i.e Freedom, Friends, Features, First.
After going through the list of project ideas for this year, I'm interested in two
projects
1.Pagure
2.Community Operations (CommOps)
I have starting testing fedora 24 and have planned to test 1 - 2 Builds per week.
From last week when i have joined Fedora Project, I have tested, tagged some packages,
Understood how the fedora uses the RSA key to authenticate. Thats because i was not able
to git clone using my pagure account for 2days using ssh and one of the member on
fedora-admin irc channel helped me to get past the hurdle that was caused by the caching
system bug.( review this paragraph again)
I have been trying to get hold of the Pagure system and i know it will take a while to
figure out everything.
About Myself
I volunteer as Student Chair of IEEE-DRIEMS student branch.
I'm also part of Mozilla student Ambassador Program.

I have done internship at Reliance Industries Ltd as summer trainee and at a kleverk a
