About Me
About Me: Personal
My name's Ben Crisford. I am an ubuntu user, lover and strong supporter of all linux distributions and free softwares. I contribute where I can, and I am aware I am probably one of the youngest contributors. Currently my main contributions are with the bugsquad, and I have applied to join the bug control team, eventually I hope to be a MOTU (but thats a long way off), see "My Contributions" to read a full list of what I contribute and to what extent.
About Me: Links
My launchpad page is here. I have a website (BenCrisford.co.nr), a personal blog (Ben Crisford Online), and a free software blog (Free Your PC).
Me and Ubuntu
Me and Ubuntu: My OSes
I currently run Ubuntu 9.04 jaunty jackalope desktop edition. Using gnome as my desktop environment, with dust theme (but sometimes swapping to KDE).
I occasionally boot vista, but very rarely. 99% of the time I am on Ubuntu.
Me and Ubuntu: My story so far with Ubuntu...
A rather long time ago now I picked up a copy of Ubuntu 6.10 and played about with it for a bit. After my ubuntu PC broke, I was a vista user for quite a long time. However, eventually I decided to remind myself of what ubuntu was like, and I didn't boot vista again (or at least very little).
I have started contributing where I can, and I love it. I just love the way I can help Ubuntu run as beautifally as it does, and I hope it will work like this for a very long time :).
My Contributions
Bug Management
Bug management was the first area of contributing I got involved with, and I love it.
First of all I joined and started contributing with the bugsquad. Nothing too heavy i'll admit, but I helped where I could. After that was a bit of a black hole in my contributions, and I was very busy for a while. But eventually, I became active again, and my contributions were better than ever.
I am now trying very hard to participate in the 5-a-day scheme, by triaging five (or more) bugs a day, and I have been quite successful so far.
I have applied to the 'Ubuntu Bug Control' team, but I am still waiting for a response to my application.
OpenWeek
I ran the session 'Gaming With Ubuntu' in 2009's Ubuntu Openweek.
I very much enjoyed the experience, and I had a really good time running it. I think it was quite successful, and I hope I helped alot of people use ubuntu for gaming, as gaming is a passion of mine.
Ubuntu Marketing
SpreadUbuntu
A while ago I created a poster for the spreadubuntu project which I am quite proud of. I was extremely honoured when someone asked to use the background of my poster for a Belgian LoCo team poster.
The poster is located here.
Ubuntu MOTU
I hope to eventually become a MOTU which I realise is a very long way off, but it is something to aim towards.
