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. I hope to be an active contributor to the Universe within 3 months of writing this wiki [19/01/2009].
