I’m going to Akademy 2013!

It is less than a week now. I’m very excited to attend Akademy 2013, the annual KDE Conference, this year for the second time.

This year, it will be hosted in Bilbao, Basque country of Spain. Do catch my talk there on “Revolution in itself”. It will focus on KDE India and will highlight KDE Meetup 2013, held in India, the successes, the obstacles, the entire journey and the outcomes and also how it influenced and impacted the lives of many such young students who were inspired to contribute and to bring about a revolution by contributing to open source and KDE. It will be an indication and motivation for organizing many more such events in future. If you are planning to attend, do not forget to register yourself here.

 

Akademy is not complete without any visa obstacle. This year,  visa was granted to me by Spain Consulate but the dates were shifted by 1 month. So i sent back my passport for correction. I did not get any updates for 10 days. So i called Spain Consulate, they kept on saying that it is with VFS and VFS kept on saying that it is with Consulate. Finally today, i got a call from VFS that my passport is ready for collection.

I will like to thanks KDE e.V. for sponsoring my travel and giving me opportunity to interact and share thoughts with awesome community people which will be life changing experience again!

Hello World!


*Excited* First of all, I would like to introduce a little bit about me.

I am Yash Shah, B.Tech first year student of Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Technology, Gandhinagar.  Since childhood I have been fascinated by computers. I have been a very curious kid. The environment in which I have grown up has developed an aptitude in me for learning and working hard. I have developed a passion for algorithms and programming since High school. I started coding in 7th grade, when I was of about 13 years old. I love to work on something which replaces the normal way of using computers with physical mouse/keyboard using computer vision. Apart from coding, I love sports, Travelling, Adventures, organizing various events, etc.
