Join us for a fun way to meet fellow attendees. Pick up a Fedora mascot sticker (we’ll have plenty of designs), then look around for others wearing the same one. That’s your cue to say hello - it’s that simple.
This isn’t just for mentors or mentees - it’s for anyone who wants to connect with new or familiar faces and feel more at home in the Fedora community. And yes, there might be some goodies in the mix too. 🐧
Hey, open source folks! I am Sumantro, hailing from India (the eastern part - former capital during the British era AKA Kolkata). I love sharing knowledge and writing about technology and experiences (mostly that I try every day).
Anything from k8s, ansible to setting up TCMS for make-believe projects is right up my alley. I work as a Software Developer in Test in Fedora Project and contribute to Open Source communities in the form of
testing, public speaking, documentation, mentorship, and onboarding. Playing Jenga, reading books, and brewing coffee are a few of my hobbies besides implementing productivity equations in my life and creating vision boards for targets I wanna achieve!

I started using Linux in 1997 with Red Hat 5.0 (Hurricane). Since then, I have been an active promoter of free software, collaborating with the LUG Vaslibre for approximately four years.
I hold a graduate degree in computer science from the University of Carabobo, Venezuela, with over 15 years of experience in IT management and application development. For more than 18 years, I have been dedicated to advocating for free software, not only in Venezuela but also in Colombia, Uruguay, and Argentina, fostering open-source adoption and community engagement.
A teacher by profession and a technologist by passion, I live in a constant search to make sense of the world through a monitor and a keyboard.
As a packaging sponsor, I actively review and mentor new packagers, helping to strengthen the ecosystem of free and open-source software.
