Who I am

I'm Dimitrios Ntoulas, member of the Ubuntu-gr (Greece) team. My academic background is in Computer Science. I am a network administrator in Kozani, at Macedonia, Greece.

My Ubuntu story

I started using GNU Linux in 2003. In 2006 I made the switch to Ubuntu and never looked back! I got involved with computers and Ubuntu while working with colleagues, trying to create a metropolitan network (MAN) at our city, Kozani. In our adventure I learned lots of things, including Linux networking, routing, wireless network setups and all sort of servers, such as Web, DNS, FTP, IRC, VoIP and game servers.

My involvement

Examples of my work / Things I'm proud of

* System administrator at Ubuntu-gr Forum. I recently fixed several bugs in the new template for the Ubuntu-gr Forum. The forum is a high-capacity website, with more than 7600 members. We currently get 6 new members per day at our forum. My role is to make sure that the server runs smoothly, and I attend to any issues that may arise.

* I created the Website and the Forum for the Kozani Linux User Group (KLUG). I am still involved in the project as co-administrator.

* I organized several workshops and also made presentations on Ubuntu with KLUG, at Kozani, Florina and Katerini.

* As part of Kozani Linux User Group (KLUG) we arranged with the Municipality of Kozani and now have a venue for our LUG, offering [[http://www.klug.gr/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=82&Itemid=36|free computer access with computers running Ubuntu Linux].

* I participate in bug reporting and translations on Launchpad. My main involvement on Launchpad is with the OpenERP project. I am at 700 karma.

* I help as a moderator at the Ubuntu-gr Forum and also assist users with their questions on Linux. I have written 2275 posts (requires account to view at the Ubuntu-gr Forum.

* I created a proof-of-concept troubleshooting service, that helps users find the solution to the most common issues they face with Ubuntu. The services uses an open database of common issues that I identify from my experience helping users at the Ubuntu-gr Forum.
