About Me
My name is Gary Kearley, I have been using Ubuntu for only the last year, but have worked in the IT industry for about ten years now, pretty much all Windows based, but decided to use Linux at home, as it is a bit of light relief from the "joys" of Windows crashes and lockups.
I am also a lot of a car nut, I own a Mazda MX-5 (Miata for you Americans) and love it to bits.
Things I do for the community
I am active in the Linux community, I run the Colchester Linux User Group ( #colchester-lug on irc.freenode.net and also http://www.colchester.lug.org.uk ) and pimp Ubuntu to all the members, which probably annoys them 
I also have managed to get the interest of a number of people, both at my workplaces and in the general community. My biggest recent claim to fame is managing to talk both my parents into rolling out Ubuntu, both of which have given super feedback, even though they were very hestitant to let me install it to start with.
I try my hardest to assist in the ubuntu irc channels, not yet feeling confident enough to be in the main support channels actively offering support, due mostly to the speed of those channels, but I'm always (well mostly) in #ubuntuforums #ubuntu-offtopic #ubuntu-uk and #ubuntu-ops, I am also in #freenode and my #colchester-lug channels.
I am a active member of a few mailing lists, most notably ubuntu-uk's one, but also the lugmaster one and my colchester-lug one.
