Activity

LoCo Community

I am a member of the https://launchpadlibrarian.net/17223473/fl_logo_14x14.png Ubuntu Florida LoCo Team and recently participated in Florida Team Birthday Bash / Karmic Release Party (picture I'm the guy on the far left holding my little boy).

BugSquad

I am currently learning how to do bug triaging, and being mentored for the BugSquad Team by Hggdh. I am also taking some programming classes, in hopes of one day becoming a developer.

UDS-L and Ubuntu User Days

At UDS-L I agreed to work with lyz and Pendulum on a new project called 'Ubuntu User Days,' creating a day that will have courses on learning to use Ubuntu and switching to Ubuntu. This will be similar to Ubuntu Open Week, on a more beginner level.
