Just uploaded Anish's package today and he is also completed his package in
the live sessions we run every night. He is not new to debian, he was
already contributing to Debian Installer Malayalam translations. I'm happy
to see him maintain packages too.

Anish is already active in many Free Software communities already -
Swathnthra Malayalam Computing and Indian Libre Users Group Trivandrum to
name a few. He runs a company which offers web hosting  completely on Free
Software.

Congrats Anish!
