About Me

Hello all, I'm David. Currently I'm a student and a member of the US Navy in San Diego, CA. My currently running OS is Kubuntu Karmic Koala Plasma-Netbook version on my Acer Aspire One. I am Married with three kids and my dream is to help other understand the wonderful world of open source.

Goals

My mission with Ubuntu is to push the idea of Open Source and Ubuntu to everyone I can. This is done with talking with people at school and work. I am also tried some more unique ways of getting the idea out there. My netbook has a vinyl skin promoting Ubuntu. Another way I am helping is trying to write tutorials that cater to the non technical user. Ubuntu is known for its ease of use and the ability to get some of the jobs done that most heavy users would normally deem simple may not be so simple to the new or non-technically minded users.

My short term goals is to become a BeginnersTeam member.

Future goals are to become a Ubuntu member as I continue to use and support Gnome and a Kubuntu member as I use KDE daily and am starting to write more and more documentation and support for Kubuntu.

Testimonials

I have now known David for some time now and believe that he is quite the guy. He definitely knows his way around Linux/Ubuntu and is always available for a kind word. When he's in the IRC, he makes himself available to everyone, whether they are an extreme user with a question, or a new user looking for guidance. In whatever he path he takes, he has my full support. -- Zachk18
