New submitter knwny writes "Atul Chitnis, the man who popularized open software in India, died on 3rd June of intestinal cancer. As a technology mentor, writer and public speaker he promoted Linux and FOSS since the late 1980s through his association with various tech magazines and conferences. He introduced Linux to thousands of PC Quest magazine readers by convincing them to carry the first ever Linux distribution in India on its cover CD in 1996." http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=Indian+FOSS+Evangelist+Atul+Chitnis+De ad+At+51%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F17lt3U6) http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.slashdot.org% 2Fstory%2F13%2F06%2F04%2F1413259%2Findian-foss-evangelist-atul-chitnis-dead-at-51%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook ) http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png (http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://developers.slashdot.org/story/13/06/04/1413259/indian-foss-evangelist-atul-chitnis-dead-at-51?utm_source=slashdot&utm_medium=googleplus)
