I'm a university student in Sydney, Australia, doing a Bachelor of Technology in Optoelectronics. I've been using linux since june 2005, first Ubuntu, and then discovering Kubuntu.

I went for membership in January, and got elected to the Kubuntu Community council when it was created.

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 lot of patches to existing apps:

  • Various wiki page updates, including:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WPAHowto

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

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxNewVersion

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
