About Me
As you can see, my name is Florian Brandes, I'm from Germany and recently joined the ubuntu community. I'm 23 years old and don't study computer science or math or anything related to computers 
About 5 or 6 years ago I got quite frustrated with Windows and started playing around with Linux. It took a while, but after going through about 500 distros (at least it felt like that) I stuck with ubuntu.
Now I'm quite happy with my systems and work more or less professionally with ubuntu. A few days ago (so about middle to end August '11) I was wondering about the things behind ubuntu, like the community, developers or canonical and started "poking" around.
After some reading I came about Launchpad, signed up and gave a bug a try. I could actually fix the problem (it was a simple build dependency) and felt so satisfied that I tried another one.
Besides that, I study medicine, work in laboratory, like watching NCIS and do sports.
Socially
I do sports about two to three times a week, am happily married, have two bearded dragons at home and enjoy listing to music (probably like everyone), especially to hardrock, some metal, punk and funk (probably not everyone).
I also do like to do lots of computer "things", like playing around with new things, programming in C++ and Qt, maintain my mediapc and home server etc...
Professionally
Like I said, I study medicine, if everything goes accordingly I will be finished in 2014. Besides that, I work and do research in a laboratory at university.
Ubuntu Participation
Besides proposing two patches at launchpad, not so much.
