Virtual Desktops and Knowledgebase

• I created the HTML-only Ubuntu and Kubuntu Dapper Virtual Desktops together with Windows 2000 & XP used by Call Center Associates as a troubleshooting tool at Sitel (formerly ClientLogic)

• I am currently recreating my work for the benefit of the faculty and staff of Lourdes College. The [http://knightlust.com/vd/xubuntu/index.html Xubuntu Virtual Desktop] will be mirrored and used internally but will also be available online.

Advocacy:

• I was invited to talk about Implementing FOSS in School for an hour by the Engineering Society of Saint Louis University scheduled on May 15, 2007 at 5PM

• As part of my initiative, I was able to convince my Dad (a Department Manager) to host a 3-hour meeting for my LTSP/Xubuntu Presentation to revive their old computers. The supervisors, managers, and directors of Baguio-Benguet Electric Cooperative would be present for the meeting. We scheduled it on May 17, 2007.

• I was again invited for the second time for another Linux Training/Seminar by the Vice-President of Our Lady of Lourdes College Foundation for a 2-day training/seminar on Xubuntu and FOSS. This time, it's a regional meet and will be attended by Teachers, Doctors and representatives from the Government sectors of Daet, Camarines Norte. It's scheduled on June 29 & 30, 2007

Future Plans

• Finalize the [http://knightlust.com/?q=node/6 Xubuntu Everywhere] Draft

• My energies would be focused on the Usability, Quality, and Documentation of Xubuntu and Edubuntu... they need our help. My work, most probably, would revolve around Documentation and Bugs
• LPI and Ubuntu Certified Engineer Certification
