Hello, my name is Aditya. I love writing about things from time to time and have been blogging since 2009. I have lived much of my life in the two cities of Mumbai and Pune in India.
Open-Source
I believe that the core tenets of open-source culture and philosophy should make their way into education. They should also influence politics, law, and economics. These principles could impact more fields too.
WordPress.org
Currently, I volunteer a few hours every week on the WordPress.org project. Much of my contributions are to the Community Team as a Program Supporter.
Groups/Teams
Current I am actively working on the following groups/teams.
Events
Current some events I organise or attend around WordPress.
The name “Bombay Pirate”
There was a time I thought pirates were cool, out in the open seas raging against the machine and with loads of irreverence. Hence “pirate“
Bombay is where I grew up. I largely refer to it as Mumbai (especially in my native Marathi) but to fork a line from Chennai & Madras – “Mumbai is a name, Bombay is an emotion”. Hence “bombay“.
Somewhere the two met to create a username I would use often. Thus “bombaypirate“
