About me

My name is Roman Azarenko, on the Internet I'm most widely known as BasicXP. I'm here to make Ubuntu a better system. I contribute to different projects by translating them, finding bugs and generating some ideas on improvements and new features. I'm also glad to help other people if they encounter any problems with Linux or computers in general.

Testimonials

• BasicXP helped us mostly during meetings to shape our internal tasks and processes. He helped a lot with translation bugs, accepting them via email from our testing community. He made some transltations in rosetta. Currently we are talking about further activity, because he wants to help more. -- dmitry-agafonov 2010-06-04 12:16:09
