+<h1>Who am I?</h1>
+<p>I am a 32 year old from India. I am a relatively new member of Debian
+(DD since May 2019, DM since 2016). Unlike majority of the other DDs,
+I do not have a long history of association with Debian. I was a
+librarian with zero technical background, working in a corporate
+library, before I got introduced to Free Software and Debian in
+2015-16. Everything changed from there. I became a Free Software
+advocate and a Debian contributor and a couple of years down the
+line, I became a Debian Developer.
+</p>
+<p>I am part of ruby, javascript and golang teams in Debian. I maintain a
+good number of packages with major ones being gitlab, gitaly, rails
+etc.</p>
+<p>I have been  mentoring people to contribute to Debian. I am involved
+with numerous packaging workshops and other Debian events throughout
+India.
+</p>
+<p>I am leading the Indian DebConf bid team which won bid for DebConf22.</p>
+<p><br/>
+
+</p>
+<h1>Why am I contesting?</h1>
+<p>Concerned
+with the skewed gender ratios within the Free Software community (and
+Debian) I am working towards doing whatever small things I can to
+better the situation. This DPL candidature is also in fact one small
+step towards that. How many times did we have a non-male candidate
+for DPL? My primary goal of contesting for DPL is to bring the
+diversity issues to the mainstream.</p>
+<p>I am aware that Debian is doing things to increase diversity within
+Debian, but as we can see, it is not suffient. A good amount of money
+is also spent, but are we getting quality diverse contributors? We
+need to find answers. We need to find out better and effective ways.</p>
+<p>One
+effective way I see to encourage diverse people to contribute is to
+have more visibility for diversity already within the community. I
+would encourage more women (both cis and trans), trans men, and
+genderqueer people who are already part of the project to be more
+visibile instead of staying hidden in some part of the project (like
+I was doing until recently).</p>
+<p><br/>
+
+</p>
+<h1>My plans as DPL</h1>
+<p>I do not have any extraordinary plan as DPL. But below are some simple
+things which I would like to focus in addition to regular activities
+of DPL. I am not good at writing detailed plans, but I am open to
+discussions on each of the below points during the campaign if
+needed.</p>
+<ul>
+	<li><p>Be an approachable DPL, open for suggestions and discussions.</p>
+	<li><p>Drive activities focusing on improving diversity in Debian.</p>
+	<li><p>Special attention for better spending of diversity budget.</p>
+	<li><p>Making Debian more welcoming to all – new comers and old timers alike.</p>
+	<li><p>Encourage and facilitate people proposing new ideas and processes for improvement of Debian.</p>
+	<li><p>Discussions and activities for positive changes and overcome the reluctance to change visible
+	at various levels in the project.</p>
+	<li><p>Better delegation of responsibilities.</p>
+	<li><p>Enabling discussions for how to better &quot;do-o-cracy&quot; within the project.</p>
+	<li><p>Promote more face to face team meetings/sprints.</p>
+	<li><p>Encourage reducing flame wars and focusing on better communication between teams/individuals.</p>
+</ul>
+<p>
+<br/>
+<br/>
+
+</p>
+<h1>Time commitment</h1>
+<p>As a freelancer who works on Debian packaging as day job, allocating
+time for DPL work will not be an issue at all.</p>
