Thank you @NisarHogaya. Hi Arvind, I recently started Bodhya, a community-driven initiative focused on democratizing tech education and building opportunities for students from Bihar through open-source projects, mentorship, and real-world learning. Would love to explore how we could collaborate, perhaps start with a short call or chat to exchange ideas on skilling programs and regional outreach.

@NisarHogaya @MithilaStack @fossdot Happy to connect

The open-source wave has begun at NIT Srinagar!🌊🚀 Grateful to Hon'ble DSW Prof. M.A. Bazaz & Er. Mustafa Zargar for making "Git Set Go" a success. Thanks to Mr. Vishal Arya, Program Director, FOSS United, for inaugurating the FOSS Club! 🙌 #FOSSUnited #NITSrinagar #OpenSource

Kindly explain smart marketing in details.

Zerodha's $100k donation to FFmpeg, while by their own admission not using it that much, makes it even more generous. Companies with businesses depending on FFmpeg should (but probably won't) learn from such generosity.

From doubting about sitting in placements at IIT, to next day meeting people/teams like Mr. Kailash Nadh (@zerodha), @gggodhwani (@CivicDatalab), Samaaj Data, @tattlemade, @Tech_4Good, @frappetech, @FOSSUnited, and so many more. @IndiaFOSS 2025 was all I needed. FOSS FTW🔥

IndiaFOSS 2025 was amazing! So good to see people curious about foss, public tech and social good. It was great talking about Build For Bharat Fellowship and listening to @NisarHogaya about it. applications open 22sep-20oct. bharatdigital.io/fellowship #indiafoss #TechForGood
