Short Description

My name is Brett Alton and I am a Canadian web developer and computer science undergrad. Introduced to Linux in 2004 by a friend, we setup a tri-boot system between Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog), Mandrake 4.2 and Windows XP. I started using Ubuntu full-time with Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger) and have since made a number of contributions to the Ubuntu community: I have installed Ubuntu on over 70+ personal computers and 10+ servers (including a server with 1 million+ hits per day); I have posted ~1,300 posts on Ubuntu Forums, including 6+ tutorials, 3 of which are scripts that are regularly updated; Submitted 50+ bugs related to Ubuntu, including many more to projects hosted on Launchpad and have performed hundreds of translations; Submitted 16 ideas to Ubuntu Brainstorm, ideas so popular I am the top 161st contributor, with over 2000 votes on other ideas and 259 comments; Wrote a 4-part series in Full Circle Magazine regarding Web Development in Ubuntu; Joined the Ubuntu Canada LoCo team and became an Ubuntu Member in February 2010; Started a blog in 2009, making many posts related to Ubuntu; Started the Open Home Server project (now called Satega); contribute to many Ubuntu-related websites such as http://getdeb.net, http://ground-control.org, http://omgubuntu.co.uk (mobile site), http://quickshot.org.
