I'm a Bengaluru based Wikipedian. My home wiki is Kannada (kn). I also edit on en, meta, commons, kn:wikquote, kn:wikisource as well as translate wiki.

Apart from being on wiki, I have engaged myself in various FOSS activities for Kannada. My Kannada blog Linuxaayana is an unique blog under CC license spreading the FOSS knowledge since 2006. I'm also a locale leader for Mozilla Firefox, contributor for most of the l10n projects there.

I also drive the efforts around digitization of kannada literature. I have designed and built the architecture of Vachana Sanchaya platform with my team to help researchers to analyze the language development and literature of Vachana Sahitya from 10th to 12th century.

There are many more such efforts I would like to highlight and share with other FOSS community members. Do drop a word via omshivaprakash at gmail dot com
