About Me

Froyo is a version of Android (2.2), that was the newest at the time my account was created. My phone however, wasn't on Froyo during that time, hence my username.

I am a student and GNU/Linux power user. I spend most of my free time outside, usually biking or taking a walk. I am fluent in Russian, and I'm learning Japanese.

Ubuntu Forums not only helped me learn Linux, but computers in general. When I joined, I was asking why "su" wasn't working in the terminal. Now, I'm learning C++ and BASH. Ubuntu Forums took me that far, and I'm highly grateful to the community.

I started using computers with Windows ME, and I didn't really know much about them. I was still running Windows XP in 2010, before I found out about Ubuntu. I tried Lucid, and promptly wiped my computers of Windows. I now use a Toshiba T235D-S1360 13.3" laptop, and I have a homemade desktop. All of my computers run Ubuntu.

Interests

I install and reinstall Linux a lot, usually just to play around with different distributions. I am a beginning web designer, I'm learning several scripting languages (JavaScript, BASH, and Lua), and I'm learning several "compilable" languages such as Java and C++. I like to read fiction novels, and I sketch out a lot of random technical ideas that I get, like possible aircraft designs and project ideas. I also write a lot, both on the computer and on paper.

Ubuntu Contributions

Ubuntu Forums- I've been active since joining in December 2010, now having over 450 posts in the support areas. I'm generally in the General Help or Absolute Beginner Talk areas, but I post anywhere I can help. My profile is here.

LaunchPad- I have signed the Ubuntu Code of Conduct, and I help out once in a while on the wikis. I am a member of the Ubuntu Virginia LoCo team, and of the Ubuntu Documentation Contributors.

IRC- I am generally on #ubuntu. I help as often as I can.

Blogging- I have a Linux blog, with a general focus around Ubuntu at www.guide2linux.org.

The Future

I plan to continue being active in the Ubuntu Forums, start contributing more actively to the wiki, and to start contributing code (once my programming skills are good enough). I also plan to become more active on my blog, rewriting it, and starting to including tutorials.
