About Me

attachment:IconsPage/PicIRC.png My name is Christer Edwards, 27yrs old, and I have been an Ubuntu user for over two years now. I am an [http://www.ubuntu.com/community/processes/newmember Official Ubuntu Member] and founder of the UtahTeam. I am also one of the founding members of the [:USTeams US Teams Project] with the goal of mentoring new teams across the US.

I am the core author of the [http://ubuntu-tutorials.com Ubuntu Tutorials Blog]. I teach Linux and create training courseware professionally, and absolutely love it. I work for [http://www.gurulabs.com Guru Labs]. We offer training and courseware across the country. If you or your company is in need of Linux training of any kind, on nearly any distribution check out our website.

I got my first introduction to Free Software about a decade ago with FreeBSD, I tried Red Hat 9, Mandrake, Slackware and finally found my place with Ubuntu when 5.04 was released. I have completely switched since! Nothing else holds a candle to Ubuntu.

Ubuntu Community

attachment:IconsPage/IconHandshake.png I am the founder of the UtahTeam. We are one of the pioneers of the LoCo project in the US. We have some great members on this team and I'm proud to be a member of this group. I'm very happy to be able to contribute to the Ubuntu project as a team leader. Currently I am working with other local LUG leaders to organize the [http://www.utosc.org Utah Open Source Conference].

I am also an active Team Mentor as part of the USTeams Project, with the primary goal of establishing a community team in each US state by the end of 2007. So far the response has been amazing and I know we'll reach our goal! I also created and manage the US Teams Planet feed aggregator at [http://planet.ubuntu-us.org US Teams Planet].
