== Ubuntu History ==

My main goal is to promote Ubuntu in several ways: I spread the word around me, I try to be present to some computer fairs. 
These contributions are rather low because I am spending quite some time on the [[http://fosdem.org|FOSDEM]] organization. 

== Ubuntu Contributions ==

- '''2005''' Start using Ubuntu.

- '''2004-2006''' Promotion of Open Source Software and Linux at my university. Gave during 1,5 years courses about using linux. First basic but also more advanced.
