| == My history in FOSS and Ubuntu == The Ubuntu family is the only FOSS project I contribute to. I join the Ubuntu Quality team (and as a result the Ubuntu community in general) just after the release of alpha 3 in 12.10. I have since made many manual ISO testcases and run an Ubuntu-classroom session on the program Testdrive. In February 2013 i was unofficially made head of testing for Xubuntu because I was the only person who put their hand up for the position. |
Patrik graduated from UCN's highly sought out Design, Technology and Business programme in Aalborg, Denmark. He's been a passionate volunteer for a number of projects before joining Ubuntu. His dedication to a common cause earned him official Ubuntu membership on April 7th, 2016. |

| == Xubuntu == I run Xubuntu on all of my PCs capable of it and have tried to help the development of it whenever possible, i've found many bugs and have helped in the writing of the magazine articles for the feature on Xubuntu in some random magazine, to be release in april, 2013. |

| The Main issue i've found in xubuntu is the fact it doesn't seem to get many new-to-linux users. Ubuntu gets the most advertising and the best touch support (the only UI usable with both keyboard and mouse or touchscreen in my opinion), Lubuntu gets many users because it looks the most like windows and because it has the best support for old hardware, and Kubuntu takes many existing Linux users because it's based on KDE and is difficult to use (my opinion, not a fact). Xubuntu also lacks wallpapers, a proper lock screen (being fixed currently) and a GUI proxy manager, which combined have hit the usability of the OS. | Patrik joined Ubuntu GNOME in November 2014 on [[LaunchpadHome:aldomann]]'s invitation. As a graphic designer student it was only natural to be invited to join the Marketing Team (formerly Artwork Team) to work on enhancing the desktop experience for users of Ubuntu GNOME. |
