alimiracle

My name is Ali Abdul Ghani. People call me 'alimiracle' and I am known by this name on the internet. This name came to me when I was a Solaris user.

I live in Iraq. I graduated from college at the end of 2015 from the Department of English Literature, and not Computer Science (if you were thinking that). I was not allowed to get a degree in Computer Science in Iraq. The law here does not allow blind people to obtain a degree in Computer Science or any scientific stream such as Mathematics or Physics.

I'm a programmer, Sysadmin, Free Software activist and poet.

I'm one of uruk projects Founders

https://urukproject.org

I designed a lot of free software Programs

You can find some of my projects in my web site

In addition to that I have also contributed to many projects. For example, LibertyBSD and Trisquel gnu/Linux.

I also promote and try to convince people to use the Free and Open Source Software and GNU/Linux. Many people refuse to do so but some do give it a try. So far, I have been able to bring around 800 people to the world of Open Source.

In fact, most of words that I use to bring people to Free Software are adopted from RMS (Richard M Stallman) articles. I show them live examples. I modify some Free Software to fit needs, making them think of modifying the programs they use. While the programs that they use are closed programs so they are not able to modify it. Then they understand the ´freedom of software´.

Now those people are using uruk gnu/linux and Trisquel GNU/Linux on my recommendation. I do face problems in the transition to Linux though for example in using Libreboot. People here don´t have good computers and they don´t have enough money to buy new advanced devices. But we survive through the odds.

If you appreciate any of the things I am doing you can make a donation.
