So where are you from? - A brief intro about yourself and other pirate members

hi,

My name is Pradeep Mohandas. I work in a public sector bank. I used to be a mechanical engineer with interest in space and contributed to Wikipedia and OpenStreetMap now and then. My interest in Pirate thinking is in the free aspects of the Movement.

I am currently located in Mumbai and my family hails from Palakkad in Kerala.

Hey,
I live in Mumbai, in Andheri. I'm a law student and look forward to drafting things for the pirate party. Shoot me up a email if anyone would like to meet or discuss pirate party related work.

Hi Guys,

I'm Wingston. Am from Tamil Nadu, but have lived in various cities all my life and the place i hold dearest to my heart is Bangalore. :)
I am currently a software engineer working in the UAE. Even though i'm an NRI i feel that the tone of our politics should include this very large segment of our brothers and sisters worldwide.

I have found that i hold views that are piratey in nature and in that spirit, i've decided to join the Indian Pirates.

Welcome on board.

Hi,

I'm Sai Pranav. I'm a student from Hyderabad.

Hi everyone,

My name is Ryan, I am 29 years old, a Canadian citizen, and an IT trainer. My parents are from Tamil Nadu, India. I have never lived in India, but I have often visited. I hope to continue my visits, so as to learn about my heritage and help, as best I can, the town my family comes from.

I came across the Pirates on Reddit's India forum when I was researching India's geopolitical situation and ways I could help. My view on geopolitics is near identical to the current version of the Pirate Constitution! That is why I decided to join, if possible.

Regards,
Ryan

Welcome onboard @wingston , @saipranav and @ryanlm :)

Hello!

My name is Shamil and i am 14 years old, from Malappuram, Kerala and going to be in 10 standard soon. @praveenarimbrathod introduced the Indian Pirates matrix room when asked for good rooms to join. I would love to be a part of the community.

hey folks... i am experimenting unplanned semi-retirement for the past 1.5 years. came out of so called public funded research institute. Diverged myself into my passion, with personal support structures.

been in calicut, chennai and now in vellore.

when it comes to indian pirates, i have just been a audience so far. recent invitation from @praveenarimbrathod i find people with similar overlapping set of social/economic/political goals have made me think about the movement critically.

Hi, i am from Assam am a software engineer working and living in Bangalore, i found out about Pirate party through a friend.

Hello, I'm Dhanesh from Pune, Maharashtra. I am a Software Developer by profession and have been involved with diasp.in as a maintainer of services. I'm also an active FOSS contributor for any other projects which interest me on the fly.

Hello. I am Ravi from Meerut, Uttar Pradesh. I am a mathematics student and have a masters degree in mathematics. I am a free software supporter and promote it actively. I contribute to free software mostly by writing blog posts, rejecting the use of nonfree software and thereby creating awareness about the free software movement. My political ideologies incline towards defending the basic human rights. Apparently, Indian Pirates' ideology seems to align with mine(or mine seems to be aligned with them 🤔).

Hello! I'm Avinash Sonawane. I support FLOSS and common good. I stand for justice, liberty, equality and fraternity.

Welcome.

Hello, I am Karthik from Andhra Pradesh. I'm a software developer by profession & actively involved in FSCI activities since few years. I got interested in politics a few years ago & found the Pirate Party ideologies close to mine.

Hello o/

I'm a Free Software developer and a student hailing from Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu. I'm very unhappy with the things are going in our country and it seemed like there was nothing I could do to help bring change. It's nice to know that there are others feel the same way too :)

Welcome, the biggest challenge we have is psychological - how to motivate people and give them hope that change is possible if we try. If all of us just say nothing can be changed and do nothing, then nothing can be changed.

Hi, everyone!

I'm Nilabrata, aka NLBRT. I'm currently just a student and happen tinker around with stuff, mostly software. I also contribute to Open Data through OpenStreetMap for my hometown Jalpaiguri, which is an Epynomous District Capital in West Bengal. Most of my ideas and ideals happens to align with that of the philosophies behind Free and Open-Source Software.

I have a disdain for most of the people who are currently running the State, as well as the Local Self-Governments and hope to change the way it is one day. Easier said than done, but we'll see how it goes!

@NLBRT Hi, welcome aboard.
