Aloha, Konichiwa, Namaste and Hi to everyone reading this blog. The open-source practice at Wipro, is in the midst of building a new open-source community inside of Wipro. The end goal is to have a structured community, that maximises the effectiveness of our resources and most importantly, gives our developers a better experience in their journey of contributing to open-source. However, Wipro has been a long time contributor to various open-source projects, over the last two decades. The goal of this blog series, is to find the champions who lead this efforts and connect them with you, our reader! We have a bunch of interviews planned and as we along, we will introduce you to a bunch of really cool people.

The open-source community is driven by two things: the spirit of collaboration and the spirit of hacking. By collaboration, I mean, the willingness to share your knowledge and experiences and by hacking, I mean, the urge to experiment, dismantle and make new things. Our very first interview is with an individual, who embodies both of these ideals.
