I'm a university student in Sydney, Australia, doing a Bachelor of Technology in Optoelectronics. Part of my degree involves some programming in C++, so in the future I hope to be able to do a lot more work in regards to programming and patching.

I've been using linux since june 2005, first Ubuntu, and then discovering Kubuntu. Tried Opensuse in the meantime, but it didnt like me, and I didnt like it!

Contributions

• Various contributions to the forum - see http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?find=lastposter&t=115460

• I'm often on irc.freenode.net, helping out in #kubuntu, #kubuntu-offtopic, #ubuntu and participating in #kubuntu-devel, #ubuntu-motu. I am a moderator in both #kubuntu and #kubuntu-offtopic, and frequently get told that i must live there! :P
• Bug reports - either contributing them myself, or testing for them (including in the recent hug day). Often I go through and confirm whether old bugs still exist (which I havent found a way to search for in launchpad yet!).
• Also some bugs upstream in bugs.kde.org (cant get the search to find ones i've contributed to, sorry!)
• A few patches, and building packages, including:

akregator

ksudoku

kradio (still has a few bugs - slowly fixing them!)

asciiquarium (got uploaded by someone else)

koffice

kmymoney2

• Various wiki page updates, including:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WPAHowto

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxNewVersion

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCards

• Occasional cd testing for the flight candidates in dapper, and release candidates from breezy.

• I'm part of the kubuntu team, at https://launchpad.net/people/kubuntu-team

Where to in the future?

I hope to:

• contribute more in packaging, particularly in the area of KDE apps.
• Help others learn to package as well.
• Continue to be around to help people in IRC, especially on #kubuntu
