| Just a bored hacker from Kentucky, USA. | My full name is Andrew Walton, however online I will almost always go by "awalton", and I'm much more likely to respond in person to "Walton" than "Andrew" unless you are an immediate family member. I'm a Ubuntu/GNOME hacker from Kentucky, USA. Computer Science and Engineering student formerly of University of Louisville, tentatively to be of University of Kentucky (as I've stated in many places recently: "Never let schooling get in the way of your education" -Twain). User of Ubuntu since Warty, previously involved in the non-starter UserLinux (we lost to Ubuntu, '''badly''' ;) ), decided it was time to give back to the Ubuntu community I've taken from and do my part here. |

| 5 Triaged Bugs https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/206194 gvfs progress bar window is always jumping in the center * Didn't quite follow up on the Launchpad-side of the bug as best as I could have, but the fix was simple and quick. |
Future plans for Ubuntu: the immediate future would be converting more of my immediate family and friends to Ubuntu-addicts. As I mostly work upstream with GNOME, most of my work to help Ubuntu is secondary, however significant. Many of the bugs I work on and intend to work on in the future are long-standing and significantly impact the users of Ubuntu on a daily basis. In the long-term, I'm building towards a job at an open-source company such as Canonical or Red Hat so that I can continue to work on the software I love (and sometimes love to hate), and continuing to give back to the community. |

A few Triaged Bugs: Please note that I'm better at solving bugs than triaging them, so forgive the spartan nature of these. If you need any more information on bugs I've triaged, please see my Launchpad page, or my GNOME Bugzilla user page. |
