I am Aaditya Singh, a recent undergraduate from Kathmandu, Nepal. I am the community lead of the Ubuntu Nepal local community and local team lead for the UbuCon Asia 2025.
I was a keynote speaker at UbuCon Asia 2025 and also gave a talk at UbuCon Asia 2024.
It has been more than one year since I have been instructing and providing sessions to the students on open source, Ubuntu, and GNOME. To date, I have delivered sessions and talks on open source to over 2,000 people.
I am also the community lead of GNOME Nepal and a GNOME Foundation member.
Revived a decade-long inactive LoCo, Ubuntu Nepal.
Organized the largest Open source and Ubuntu Event of Nepal, UbuCon Asia 2025.
Provided instruction sessions to more than 1000 people and talked about Ubuntu and GNOME as a speaker to another 1000+ people.
Connected Nepal to the international open source scene ( Ubuntu communities, GNOME communities, and more ) and represented the country in the best way possible.
Contributed as a speaker in UbuCon Asia 2024, Jaipur, India, and contributed as a keynote speaker in UbuCon Asia 2025, Kathmandu, Nepal.
Part of the team to help organize Ubuntu India LoCo for the Ubuntu Release party in Bengaluru, India, at the time of the GNOME Asia Summit 2025.
Helped young students through community partnership with Hackathons through Ubuntu Nepal.
Represented Ubuntu Nepal LoCo in Digital Conclave Nepal, one of the largest and important tech exhibitions of Nepal, where lots of Government ministers, including the prime ministers and policy makers, attended.
Future goals
Build a sustainable and well-documented structure for Ubuntu Nepal LoCo so it doesn’t go inactive again. Long-term plans, along with short-term plans and proper handover procedures, will be implemented to ensure sustainability.
Conduct more instruction sessions and carry on with the mission of FOSS and Ubuntu Literacy all over the nation.
Represent Ubuntu Nepal LoCo in the global open source scene as one of the active and happening communities.
Connect with policy makers and bring forward cost-effective and sustainable open source solutions at the government level.
Put in the effort to make the UbuCon Asia bigger and better with each edition since I have recently joined the global organizing team.
I’ve known Aditya for a couple of years and I find him to be a friendly person and passionate about open source. He’s actively pioneering and introducing open source to the younger generation and universities in Nepal. He’s also organized major community events in Asia, such as GNOME Asia Summit 2023 and UbuCon Asia 2025.
As part of Asia’s Ubuntu Community members, I am fully opt in Aaditya application.
His contribution on building community within Nepal has proof his value not just successfully organised recent UbuCon Asia '25, but also resurrect the Nepal’s LoCo in same time after years of dormant.
I first met him at UbuCon Asia in 2024.
He told me that he wanted to host UbuCon Asia in Nepal, and he did it!
He has been very active in organizing UbuCon Asia 2025, and our collaboration has been going very well.
He has played a key role in developing the Nepal LoCo, and I believe he will continue to contribute greatly to the Ubuntu community.
It is indeed very good to see Aaditya applying for the membership! Well, I think i can vouch him for sure.
As a LoCo Council member, I see he not just revived the Nepalese LoCo through our handover process. But he is also organizing local gathering continuously. I would say Nepalese LoCo’s case would be one of the best practices when people ask about how to start their LoCo(or Circle) in their region or revive the inactive one if needed.
As part of UbuCon Asia Committee, I would also like to say the local team led by Aaditya was the most proactive, responsive, capable and collaborative so far. If future local team would like to know how they should collaborate with the global team, then I would probably say to have a look at what Nepalese folks did. And it was all possible thanks to Aaditya’s great leadership on leading the local team.
He already joined the UbuCon Asia Committee recently, And Now I’m also very looking forward to him on what’s next as a Ubuntu Member
I agree with the others.
I first met Aditya at UbuCon Asia 2024, and he was very passionate about the Ubuntu community.
What I liked most is that he didn’t just talk — he took real action.
He helped reboot the Ubuntu Nepal LoCo and worked hard to make UbuCon Asia 2025 happen.
I strongly support his Ubuntu membership application.
I interacted with @younggunner14 for a few months during the preparation of UbuCon Asia 2025, and I was impressed with his dedication and kindness with us, despite my barrage of questions
He managed to coordinate with us a fantastic UbuCon, and I am extremely grateful for his support. During the event, he opened up future opportunities with local universities, companies and other interested parties. He turned an event into an amazing Ubuntu experience for everyone involved.
I hope to see future events in Nepal, and I support @younggunner14 in his application for Ubuntu Membership!
I strongly support Aaditya’s application without a doubt. From his extreme passion for Open Source communities to his excitement and energy, which make everyone around him full of energy as well.
I have no doubts that he will utilise the membership to the fullest in pushing the community efforts forward and bringing in new contributors.
