Ubuntu Community Contributions

I am currently working a lot on user support on IRC, helping people with as many issues as possible. I have also been doing bug triage lately, and working with bugs, keeping them organize and helping shrink the large number of them.

Specifications

Team Work

• ChicagoTeam - Organizing and supporting LoCoTeam for the Chicago land area. I am the secondary team contact, and work closely with RichardJohnson to structure the team. I communicate regularly with the team in our IRC channel, #ubuntu-chicago on irc.freenode.net and chaired the first IRC meeting we ever had, and am the event coordinator for the third meeting.

• WikiTeam work - Creating, Editing, and stylizing pages. One page that I am working on Category'Cleanup- work, for example one such page I edited was FirefoxNewVersion which required updating.

• MarketingTeam work - Working with the ChicagoTeam LoCo to do advocacy and spreading Ubunutu in the Chicago land area. Generally spending lots of time discussing Ubuntu and even founding an Open Source (and GNU/Linux) team at my college. One success was a talk on Ubuntu, with many CDs passed out which will be repeated and followed by an Install Fest.

• BugSquad work - To follow soon.

• IRC Support - Having been on IRC for since December 2005, I've become familar with many of the developers and have helped countless people on some of these channels: #kubuntu, #kubuntu-offtopic, #ubuntu-doc, #ubuntu-locoteams, #ubuntu-bugs, #ubuntu-locoteams, #ubuntu-chicago, #kubuntu-offtopic.

About Me

• am a student at Monmouth College in Monmouth, IL and am a Computer Science / Physics major. I try to be involved at my school: Big Brother Big Sister, Protein Folding Project (coding our own to run on a grid computer), Student Senate (as well as being the chair of the IT committee), Monmouth Open Source Society (A F/OSS team I founded) and I am also a member of the Zeta Beta Tau Fraternity. In my free time I enjoy reading literature, working with computers, idling on IRC for obscene amounts of time, programming, skateboarding, martial arts, webcomics and argumentation.

My Goals

Short Term / Community Goals

• Become a [https://launchpad.net/people/ubuntumembers/ Ubuntu-Member]

  Become more involved in documentation.

  Become a MOTU one day.

Long Term / Community Goals

• Learn more about Linux / Unix systems in general, I have only been using them since October 2005 and have learned a lot about them, but there is more technical knowledge I would like to learn to contribute further.

  Take Ubuntu Chicago LoCo to the max. We have a good base set of members who can do a lot, so hopefully our team will grow to over a thousand members (I'll keep my fingers crossed).
