Okey lets begin :-<\/p>\n

Moved to Chennai in feb 2011 and joined www.csscorp.com<\/a> open source support team, thanks to @kiranmurari<\/a>\u00a0for giving me this\u00a0opportunity. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I have completed almost 1 year here and to be honest second place after www.newsx.com<\/a> where i have stayed for over an year. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

I been told a lot about Chennai,\u00a0especially\u00a0about people\/food\/weather but i am lucky 2 have awesome office folks and friends \u00a0i managed all of this and had no difficulty in\u00a0adjusting\u00a0with\/to it.\u00a0Autowallahs are morons all across India and \u00a0Chennai is no\u00a0exception.<\/p>\n

FOSS Confs :-<\/p>\n

Thanks to KDE<\/a> for sponsoring me during Desktop Summit<\/a>, Berlin to present a talk<\/a>\u00a0It was great place to meet people whom i been chatting via IRC for many years. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I was also at Software Freedom Day celebration at Jaya FOSS club<\/a>, Chennai. Thanks to the organizers for this wonderful event.<\/p>\n

Travelling :-<\/p>\n

As a amature photographer i did\u00a0traveled\u00a0across Chennai(TN) thanks to\u00a0@suseendranrb<\/a>\u00a0@johnson81385<\/a>\u00a0@eternaltyro<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0thyagoo<\/a>\u00a0for all the trips, many more are in pipeline for 2012 \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After Desktop Summit in Aug 2011 i took a week off and\u00a0traveled few places in europe like Athens\/Rome\/Madrid,\u00a0I admit am lazy, still i have put some photos of my trip at\u00a0http:\/\/www.atuljha.com\/photos<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Technology:-<\/p>\n

Before coming to Chennai i was a simple Linux sysadmin and FOSS advocate. Things are better now, \ud83d\ude1b I have started coding and working around open source cloud computing platform like openstack<\/a> and eucalyptus<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I was lucky to contribute few patches 2 Ubuntu openstack packages, any patch is a patch i been told. \ud83d\ude00\u00a0Most of my contribution are at lauchpad\u00a0<\/a>I am currently spending some time playing with juju<\/a> and owncloud<\/a>, i will be presenting some workshop on the same in coming months. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Reading:-<\/p>\n

Well most of my friends would be surprised to hear that am reading fiction\/short stories instead of only reading tech books. I am totally addicted to Khushwant Singh <\/a>and finished 5 of his books so far, hoping to get few more next month via @flipkart<\/p>\n

2012?<\/p>\n

Well 2012 wishlist includes learning Python and Hadoop apart from travelling some awesome place like Ooty\/Kundapura\/Munnar\/Cochin in India.<\/p>\n

Looking forward to make 2012 another rocking year of my life!!<\/p>\n
