| I am testing the water, so to speak, by working on a few Desktop bugs. They are not much but I have very limited computer resources ( I am running on a PII 350Mhz w/224MB ram) so just doing what I am doing right now is quite a stretch. Now my old ceder mill celeron system doesn't seem so slow. No worries, I will be getting a new Core 2 laptop in a month or two. After the upgrade I hope to get more heavily and eficiently involved in the development process. On the good side I am finding that all my tinkering and recreational coding paid off as my current skill set seems to be adequate for solving the bugs that I am working on. I think that if my system weren't so slow ( I can't compile things quickly or load some required tools ) progress would be made much more quickly. | I am testing the water, so to speak, by working on a few Desktop bugs.

Me
Hello, I am a pretty new in the Ubuntu developer community but I have been using GNU/Linux for several years. I live in New York state, USA and work at a toy factory. Its very non-technical and I am working on changing that, but for now its just a job. My technical knowledge is mostly self taught, but I always try to learn from others. I began using GNU/Linux in 1999 With Red Hat and never looked back, even though it needed a great deal of work at the time. At age 8 I learned to program in BASIC on an Apple IIC but never learned C/C++ until I was in high school. Still, I don't know why I haven't gotten involved in the community before now. I hope to improve my skills and contribute to the improvement of FOSS available to the world.
What am I doing?

This is all for now, but there will be more at a later date.
