I try to generally help in the community: triaging bugs and answering questions on Launchpad, responding to posts and helping out on the forums, maintaining the wiki, among other things. I am also frequently on IRC providing support. My primary avenue of assistance in the Ubuntu community is over Internet Relay Chat. I frequently assist all across the IRC world with Ubuntu and general Linux issues as much as I can, due to my frequency of visiting the largest IRC networks. Aside from that, I answer any questions about any form of technology to the best of my ability, or I will try to point the user in the right direction.
