About me

I'm a multimedia professional who works as an Audio/Video/Lighting engineer with some photography on the side. As you can imagine, Ubuntu Studio is my flavor of choice. My contributions to Ubuntu Studio started in March of 2018 when Set Hallstrom and Ross Gammon put out a call to form a council in order to sustain Ubuntu Studio, which had received very little, if any, attention since 2016. I came onboard and ran the meetings and presented ideas to enhance the flavor, which led to a renaissance and revitalization for the flavor that is apparent in the work that went into 18.10. I have also provided direction and ideas for the flavor to move forward.

Testimonials

Testimonials go below:

Erich has been an inspriring example of leadership by a newcomer to Ubuntu Studio. He's shown himself both willing to do the hard work and also humble enough to ask for help and advice when needed. He would be a great Ubuntu Member. -- valorie-zimmerman 2018-10-19 05:26:47

After a few release cycles without active leadership, Ubuntu Studio was in danger of disappearing as a flavour. Then Erich stepped up to the plate! Unfortunately for Erich, things had become a little neglected, and the handover process was mostly non-existent. But that has not put Erich off. Erich is an outstanding example of leadership in the open software world. He is an excellent communicator, and actively prompts the team to join meetings, and discuss the way forward. He had a very steep learning curve, and has learnt very quickly how to seek and ask for help. In Erich's time as chair of the Ubuntu Studio council, he has in my opinion shown exactly what it takes (and more) to be a member of the Ubuntu community. Keep up the good work Erich! -- rosco2 2018-10-31 16:08:24
