I am ring (রিং). Full name Shazedur Rahim Joardar. I have completed my Bachelor with Honors in English Literature as well as have done Professional Diploma in Information Technology from NIIT focusing Software Engineering. I am an enthusiasts of GNU/Linux and Computing in my mother language, Bengali (বাংলা) .

In 2010 I had started working Jalal Ahmed Spinning Mills Ltd. as a Consultant, IT and MIS. In 2012 Jalal Ahmed Group IT department finally migrated in Free software only. In 2016 all the servers, desktop computers and laptops started running only on GNU/Linux. Ubuntu Server & Mint Desktop based solutions were developed their by me. Some of the factory production hardware like coner, cross roll are also running on GNU/Linux.

In 2014 Fall (October) to 2016 I had worked as an Adjunct Faculty member at Software Engineering Department in Daffodil International University at Dhaka, Bangladesh. I shared my knowledge on Operating Systems and PL/SQL among the pupils. More on that I had conducted hardware and software hacking sessions and events regularly for the pupils.

Besides my works I love to contribute to the society by helping people on using GNU/Linux distributions as a member of some Bengali forums such as প্রজন্ম ফোরাম (https://forum.projanmo.com/user3252.html), লিনাক্সদেশ ফোরাম(https://forum.linuxdesh.org/user-4.html), মুক্তপ্রযুক্তি(https://forum.fossbd.org/member.php?action=profile&uid=2), আমাদের প্রযুক্তি ফোরাম (https://forum.amaderprojukti.com/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=4760). I am a core member of Linux Mint Bangladesh (https://linuxmint-bd.org/about_us) team.

I am working hard to spread out GNU/Linux and Digital Freedom knowledge in our mother language (বাংলা/Bengali). I had sponsored and organized distro release parties, get together, seminars, barcamp and various types of technical and non-technical sessions on GNU, Linux Kernel, Ubuntu and Linux Mint in person, through a voluntary organization titled FOSS Bangladesh (aka: Foundation for Open Source Solutions Bangladesh). Detailed Information about many of those events can be found at FOSS Bangladesh's official website on the URL -- https://fossbd.org.

My email id is very public and open to all Digital Freedom enthusiasts, lovers, users and interested ones. You may communicate with me in Bengali, English, Hindi, Urdu and German. Sometime I do posting on my personal blog titled as রিং-দ্য ডন 'র ব্লগ on https://toshazed.wordpress.com
