- Hi, I'm Ahmed Shams, I love to triage bugs for Ubuntu, specially for Input Devices/xserver, review Ubuntu translations as well as helping others as long as I know what they are talking about ;). I like to go out, advocate open-source, help others to jump to our community easily and safely. Big part of my brain keeps thinking of locos and newcomers, have no idea why?, but I like this and will put some work to grow that idea.
Interests
Reading and reciting The Holy Quran. Continuing with the Bug Squad/Control in the area of InputDevices/TouchPad. Help and Enthusiast the Egyptian loco Team. Do my best to help and welcome other people to Ubuntu and Open-Source community.
Involvement
- Translating/Reviewing Ubuntu messages and lp-hosted software. Triaging bugs for Ubuntu. Understanding community better and work to help growing it.
Contributions
In Translation
- Ubuntu Arabic Translator/Supporter since September 2009. Ubuntu Arabic Translation Reviewer since August 2010. I focus on translation consistency --matching terminology with different apps-- and make sure that programmable notations will work. Coiner of the 5 Ubuntu Messages a day group --an attempt to save a stable frequency of Ubuntu Translations input and reviewing processes on daily basis.
In Bug Triage and Answers
- Bug Squad member and active Bug Triager since September 2010. I serve as Answer contact for Support Requests/Bug Reports on Touchpad bugs and keep it healthy as much as I can and Top Contributor to xserver's synaptics package. Ubuntu Papercuts triager and finder :) .
In Community
- I advocate Open-Source and Ubuntu whenever possible. I've a deep passion to work with Ubuntu Egypt loco team to spread the word through the country, whenever and wherever I can, I also try to enhance means of communication and taking care of inside relations and Community Health. Worked with Ubuntu-Leadership(-dev) Team at loco Leadership Training Handbook (Under construction!), which aims to assist community leaders to drive loco teams through easiest and most efficient ways. Coiner of UCADay.(I can barely say this since many many ppl helped bringing it to life, (((((BIG HUGS))))) ). Worked with Hatem Zyoud(Under the umbrella of Egypt loco team's sponsorship for constructing new locos) to Establish the Ubuntu Palestine loco Team, and still sharing work to get it up & running[TBD:Will end on ~Dec31]. During Precise cycle, I'm mentored to start helping with Organizing Ubuntu irc events, hope I can help there. Serving as moderator for Egypt loco's ML. Maintaining the Egypt loco's wiki-site, keeping it sync'ed with what happens on ground and developing it's content.
Goals:
Short Term Goals
- Help My Family to completely migrate to Ubuntu and Free SW world(60% so far). Work with Palestine loco team to get Up & Running. Hope I can help with -P cycle irc workshops(or to find something to do, as ppl there are really active). Finish MIT OCW's Course 600(Reminder: For God's sake, stop wasting time and finish it!).
Long Term Goals
- Work with Egypt loco Team to get to the level of approval. Work with Palestine loco Team to get to the level of approval. Get more involved with xserver, preparing patches, learn more workarounds, etc... Start help with fixing bugs in some range of apps.
