Dapper 6.06 was my first experience with Ubuntu and Desktop Linux in general, and since then I've transformed into a confirmed Ubuntu cheerleader. I am all about fixing Bug #1. My background is in Anthropology, Graphic Design, and Illustration, yet what I'm doing for a living would never reflect this. I am currently learning everything possible about Python, Zope, Plone, and Cheetah-Template with the goal of helping [http://teachsmart.org my employer] move out of its dimly-lit, license-burdened M$ past. I have the good fortune of working on an Ubuntu Desktop while on the job (with Twinview and Beryl, no less!) I plan to deploy all Web apps on Ubuntu Servers, and I am pushing for adoption of FOSS software throughout the company. Our primary manufacturing partner, [http://smarttech.com SMART Technologies], has recently announced support for Ubuntu 6.06, and the neighboring state of Indiana has committed to a Linux-focused program for schools, so I'm very hopeful for an Ubuntu-friendly future. == Things I do for Ubuntu == === Design and Such === {*} I do design for the [:MarketingTeam/DIYWebsite: Marketing Team DIY Website] [http://diy.devubuntu.com] === OhioTeam Stuff === {*} I help administer the OhioTeam under the leadership of [:StephenStalcup: Steve Stalcup] {*} I am working to establish partnerships with [http://www.ohionet.org OHIONET] and [http://www.oplin.org OPLIN] === Advocacy === ==== at home: ==== {*} All friends and family are fair game :) {*} My mother and older sister, both Teachers in the public schools, will be ongoing recipients of rescued and refurbed hardware running Edubuntu. {*} My dear wife is committed to being an in-house realistic testing user. If I can't show her how to do it in the GUI, it ain't workin' ... ==== at work: ==== {*} Every new employee at the company I work for gets an Ubuntu CD and a sales pitch {*} All Web applications for which I am responsible are to be developed (hacked?) and deployed on Ubuntu === Future Goals === {*} Become an Ubuntu Member. {*} Continue involvement with Ubuntu Marketing * Complete the DIY Marketing project * Begin work on [https://launchpad.net/products/spreadubuntu SpreadUbuntu] project {*} Educate the Ohio public about the benefits of FOSS * Partner with libraries, Higher Ed., and K-12 * Standardize curricula on FOSS for users and would-be developers (like me!) === Misc.

About Me
I am 26 years old, happily married to my best friend, proud caretaker of two dogs, and live in Bedford, Ohio, US, mere minutes from the banks of the infamous Cuyahoga River.
