= AlexeyMolchanov =

My name is Alexey Molchanov (Алексей Молчанов in Russian). I'm 20 years old computer enthusiast and programmer. I live in Chernigov, Ukraine (about 150 km from our capital - Kiev). I am a student of [[http://www.stu.cn.ua/|Chernigov State Technological University]] ([[http://cs.stu.cn.ua/|cs department]]). My native language is Russian and I know Ukrainian very well too.

I am very interested in Open Source and most interested in [[http://www.gnome.org/|GNOME]], [[http://python.org/|Python]], [[http://wxwidgets.org/|wxWidgets]] projects. My favorite linux distributions are [[http://www.debian.org/|Debian GNU/Linux]] and Ubuntu of course. I have been a Linux user for 4+ years.

My favorite programming language is Python (but I'm not very experienced in it yet). Also I have a strong knowlegde of C and shell scripting, little C++ and x86 assembler (tasm). I don't mention old Pascal/Delphi and BASIC.

== My current Ubuntu activities ==

 * Now I'm discussing creation of Russian Ubuntu Language Team.
 * I've created Russian Local Community Team and I'm leader of this team. As part of my activity as a leader I set up Russian Community's [[http://forum.ubuntu-ru.org/|forum]] and [[http://ubuntu-ru.org/Wiki|web site]] (currently only wiki available). Thanks for MatthiasUrlichs for hosting and help.
 * I'm founder and administrator of [[http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-ru|ubuntu-ru]] mailing list and ''#ubuntu-ru'' irc channel.
 * I'm planning to create ubuntu-ua mailing list and already created ''#ubuntu-ua'' irc channel for Ukrainian Ubuntu users.
 * I'm looking for people in Ukraine to host a local Ubuntu mirror. Also I helped a little to create full Russian Ubuntu archive mirror at [[http://citkit.ru/|citkit]].

== My previous Ubuntu activities ==
 * I translated into Russian:
  * AboutUbuntuRussian;
  * HowToGetHelpRussian (only partlial);
 * I wrote one HOWTO for Russian Ubuntu users:
  * UbuntuRussianLocalizationHowTo

== My Ubuntu interests ==

 * Translation some of Ubuntu documentation into Russian.
 * Helping on bug squashing and testing.
 * Advocating Ubuntu among Russian-speaking community and organizing this community.
 * Maybe little packaging work in the future.
