« And so, we don't need a business model, we're just doing it. »

Jimmy Wales, early 21st century.

I am a former Linux system administrator, now translator and social activist, working with Ekta Parishad. I am specially interested by India, Gandhi and non-violence.

And I mainly contribute to Wikimedia Commons, the French and English Wikisource. And I created Wikilivres, which is now hosted by Wikimedia Canada. Yann 20:47 Jan 10, 2003 (UTC)

	The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
	I just found out that you made the first edit to the hindi wikipedia!!! And you're still around at wikipedia! You deserve a barnstar large enough to cover your screen (unfortunately that would crash all browsers, and so we have to make do with giving normal barnstars). You're awesome!
