What I have done

Most of my contributions to Ubuntu are writing tutorials and how-to's on my blog, http://chrisjohnston.org. I also participate in the #ubuntu channel on IRC. I recently became a member of a LoCo team in my area. I also run Ubuntu+1 and participate in #ubuntu+1.

My Future

My plans for the future are to continue with my website, become active in my LoCo team, and help out more in both #ubuntu and on the Ubuntu forums. I am currently learning programming with the hopes of being able to eventually become a developer.
