I guess press people sometimes look for those fancy titles. They might
have not given his comment importance if he was only Arshad Pooloo.

I am a volunteer[1] in the openSUSE Project. Using an _at_opensuse.org
address is part of my advocacy[2].

No. I do not list those as hobbies. My hobbies[3] are breaking & repairing
stuffs. I do not consider my participation in user groups as hobbies since
they are of more serious nature. I guess I could just call them volunteer
activities. I am not paid by openSUSE, Ubuntu, LUGM, ICT Advisory Council
or the Mauritius Internet Users.

Yes, I believe there is value. I participate to share my opinion, my
knowledge where I feel it will help. I raise my voice & contact relevant
bodies to get that voice heard. I do not raise my voice as a LUGM
representative to say I have an Internet problem, just as I won't raise the
same voice for Open Source as an MIU member.
If anything that I said is not clear, let me know. I shall elaborate.
