Ubuntu Wiki

I'm just this guy, you know.

I am a very active member of the Ubuntuforums.

I strongly beleive in Free Libre open source software. I am a big fan of Ubuntulinux. I think it's success is related to how well it can tap into the potential of it's community. It is technically excellent as well as a fine example of how a community-driven effort is done.

Although not a typical ingredient in the classic-case open source project, forums are an excellent way to communicate, educate and motivate a community around a project. I have helped make the forums more aware of the wiki and pushed to coordinate the efforts of both mediums. I also try to motivate people on the forums to file bugs or bring their problems to the ubuntu-devel mailing list, when appropriate.

I am a clinical perfusionist at the Montreal Heart Institute. I run the heart-lung machine during open heart surgery as well as operating a variety of other means of cardiac support. I first used Computers in the eighties and was ative on the Montreal BBS scene (before the internet, there was 300 baud) (That ascii bunny was around then, too...)

I have two little daughters and they both use ubuntu. I will be at UBZ. One day, I hope to be at a Lugradiolive.

I happily signed the Code of Conduct, but could not upload it. [http://apqi.com/ubuntu/UbuntuCodeofConduct-1.0.txt.asc Here] it is.
