About Me
I am living in China and I am a complete Linux fan. I love the free software spirit and want to share it with more and more people all over the world. I choose Ubuntu as my desktop OS because it is easy-to-use and I can get involved with its community much easier than others.

Testimonials
Aron has been a tireless contributor to localization for quite some time. His involvement in Simplified Chinese translation in several upstream projects in addition to Ubuntu shows not only his deep understanding of the complete OSS localization ecosystem but also manifests his excellent coordination skills. I've had the pleasure to work with him in the Ubuntu Translations Coordinators team, where his dedication and technical competence have been very valuable assets in improving the Ubuntu experience for all international users. I think he's a more than worthy candidate for Ubuntu Membership and I'm pleased to support his application. -- dpm 2009-10-22 08:38:48
