An Aussie Ubuntero living in Scotland, Glennji is currently offline so doesn't do much at all!

I've joined EdLug, although not attended a meeting (why must it always be on a Thursday?!) and the ["UKTeam"] for promoting the use of Ubuntu here in my adopted home. I'm also a mailing list moderator for Gnome (http://live.gnome.org/ModeratorTeam), although being offline makes that difficult at best. Hurry up, Bulldog!

I do evangelise Ubuntu and Linux in general whenever I possibly can, and always carry a copy of Ubuntu and Kubuntu "just in case". My aging laptop has had beta and bleeding edge Ubuntu and Gnome (ahh, Garnome) installed, upgraded and broken time and time again. I must have installed every music player, and every media system, in an attempt to find one that had all the features I'm looking for.

I've contributed patches to a backup application (pyBackpack); modified the menu editor (smeg) to show icon previews; written a (trivial) kernel patch that was never destined to be included; and written a Gnome panel applet (Toshiba ACPI screen dimmer) that could crash the panel like nobody's business. What fun!

Over the next year I hope to actually contribute something useful for a change, make it to at least a couple of user group meetings, and convince my girlfriend to switch from XP to Ubuntu Dapper Drake. I mean, she's a Unix admin for Pete's sake! It's embarrassing!
