I then discovered computers and taught myself how to code in Cold Fusion. My first IT contract was at the BBC in London in 2000 and was a disaster. The masochistic side of me kept pushing me on to more contracts and then I found Free Software and Unix, and everything changed. I've been working on both ever since. I've contributed to various free software projects, and I am currently an active developer for the maemo and UME platforms. I get to speak and do interviews too sometimes. I love 'mobile' things and I live on a floating house on the Rio Negro in Amazonas == Things that I am doing == * Help creating the Ubuntu Mobile Guide * Reporting on the [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MobileAndEmbedded/ReportingPage|Mobile Team's]] progress * Maintaining the [[https://edge.launchpad.net/frothing/|Liferea port to mobile linux handheld devices]] == MOTU == * [[https://edge.launchpad.net/~ianlawrence/+archive|packaging PPA]] == Documentation Team == * [[http://umeguide.net|Ubuntu Mobile Guide - lead author and maintainer.]] == Writing == * [[http://www.amazon.com/Ian-Lawrence/e/B0033I7EQY/ref=ntt_athr_dp_pel_1|Professional Ubuntu Mobile Development.]] == Important links == [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UMEGuide|UME Guide Version]] and [[https://edge.launchpad.net/~ianlawrence/+archive|for the debs]] (PPA) [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MobileAndEmbedded/ReportingPage|Mobile Team Reporting]] [[https://edge.launchpad.net/frothing|Liferea port to mobile linux handheld devices]] ---- CategoryHomepage
