About Me

My name is Chris Johnston. I live in Orlando, FL. My day job is a FireFighter Paramedic, but in my spare time I am a computer enthusiast. I have been running an Ubuntu Server since 7.10 and as a desktop since 8.04.

I was awarded membership to https://launchpadlibrarian.net/1013640/ubuntu_emblem.pngUbuntu Members on December 7, 2009 by the Americas Regional Membership Board.

Beginners Team

I am currently working towards a membership in the Beginners Team. I am currently a padawan and have Raidsong as a master. I wish to join this team because I enjoy helping new Ubuntu Users.

BugSquad

I am also 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.

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.

Florida Local Community Team

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).

I am in the process of creating a family-based blog for our LoCo, for members to post updates about their families and what is happening in their lives.

I am also in the process of setting up an Ubuntu Hour in the Orlando, FL area.

Internet Relay Chat

My registered IRC nickname is FFEMTcJ. I am usually present in the following channels:

  1. #ubuntu-us-fl
  2. #ubuntu-us
  3. #ubuntu-beginners
  4. #ubuntu-beginners-help

Testimonials

Even though he has only been a member of the Florida LoCo for a short time, Chris has been very active in our online and in person events. He is always willing to offer help and expertise to us in the IRC channel, and he blogs regularly blogs on Ubuntu subjects. His blog has also been included in http://planet.ubuntu-fl.org. He has also taken the lead on getting our new family-oriented website up and running. I have met Chris and his family on a couple of occasions, and look forward to interacting with him more. He is already becoming an invaluable member of our LoCo, and I only see than increasing in the future. -- mhall119 2009-11-30 15:09:14

I second the kind words that mhall119 has previously said. Chris has a passion for Ubuntu. It's obvious whenever you talk with him, I look forward to seeing good things from him for the Florida Team and Ubuntu! -- itnet7 2009-12-01 20:12:31
