Who is Bodsda

I am a 17 year old computer enthusiast from the UK. I first started using Ubuntu in December of 2007, this was also my first Linux OS. I have since taught myself; with the help of the community documentation, IRC and forums, how to cope with everyday life on Ubuntu. I have also switched form GNOME to fluxbox just for fun and am enjoying it so much I don't think I'm going to go back. Since migrating to Ubuntu I have started to learn python and C++ programming languages and plan to release a program to the community some time this month (4/6/09).

Contributions to the communtiy

* IRC

During my transition from Windows to Ubuntu I religiously lived in #ubuntu learning things all the time and after a month or two started helping others. I now idle in #ubuntufoums-beginners and spend at least an hour a day helping people in #ubuntu.

* Forums

I try to help on the Absolute Beginners Forum whenever I can and I also participate in discussions in the Programming Talk section of the forums. I have also written a howto; custom usplash art which got Tutorial of The Week (Thanks K.Mandla)

I have recently revived the Beginner Programming Challenges on the forums with great success, we are on the 5th challenge as of 4/6/09 and are looking forward to continuing the challenges for a long long time.

* Ubuntu Beginners Team

I have been a member of the Ubuntu Beginners Team (Formerly 'Ubuntuforums Beginners Team') for a while now, about a year I think. I also help with the development and IRC focus groups. I have, with the help of Paultag (development focus group lead) got the focus group to sponsor the Beginner Programming challenges and are helping people with programming in general but specifically the challenges.
