About Me

Hello my name is Christopher Swift and I am a 17 year old student in Neath Port Talbot, Wales in the UK. I've been using Linux since Dapper back in '06 on a VM and later before 6.10 I had installed it to a separate partition on my hard disk, since then every computer in my house has been converted in part, or entirely to Ubuntu. Currently I am focusing my efforts towards packaging to help contribute to the MOTU team.

Things that I do for Ubuntu

Ubuntu UK

  • I am an active contributor to the IRC channel #ubuntu-uk on the Freenode network, helping users with their issues when I can as well as contributing to the community feel of the channel with the regulars.
  • A regular at the Ubuntu-UK IRC meetings, I usually watch the meeting advance and interjecting when a thought or valid point has been raised that I can help contribute and/or add my own views to the current train of thought.
  • I assist with the transcription of the Ubuntu-UK podcasts.

Bugjam 2009

  • During this bugjam, I will be attending both days, 21st & 22nd February. I have prepared a pdf document ready for my session on bzr management and podcast transcription, namely the Ubuntu-UK podcast. Also my prepared document will be used to help teach bzr & podcast transcription to the bugjam group in Birmingham by an Ubuntu member MartinMeredith who leads the Ubuntu English-UK translation team. This will also help teach the participants about the usage of the Transcriber application and how to use Launchpad.

Development

  • I am currently being mentored by jpds to build packages for the Ubuntu Universe repository.

  • I have currently submitted several packages (with _many_ revisions) to revu.

  • I am working on many [needs-packaging] bugs in launchpad.

Accepted packages into the Jaunty Universe repo.

  • grdc - A remote desktop connection client for GTK & GNOME.

  • grdc-gnome - A GNOME applet for the grdc client.

  • partitionmanager - A KDE partition & disk manager.

Translations

  • I am a member of the English (UK) translation team.
  • I try to translate at least one project per day.
  • I look over work that has been requested for reviews if and when I see one.

Future work

Some day soon in the future I hope to become an official member of the Ubuntu MOTU. The MOTU have inspired me greatly, especially jpds and dholbach.

Ubuntu-cym

This is a new project that both myself and darius are undertaking to help spread Ubuntu in the deepest darkest depths of Wales. At the moment we are both project managers with myself currently acting the Point of Contact for the team. Much more information can be found at WelshTeam.
