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.

Profile

Activity

LoCo Community

I am a member of the 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 Tutorial Days

At UDS-L I agreed to work with lyz and Pendulum on a new project called 'Ubuntu Tutorial Day,' 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.
