Jason Cohen

I've been using Linux for about a year and a half. I began using Mandrake and then moved up to Debian which I use on my server/Mythtv (mythtv.org) system. I run Ubuntu on my Desktop and try to provide as much support as I can on #ubuntu. I've also begun providing support on the Ubuntu Forums. I have quite a lot of experience setting up MythTV systems. My box has a 1/2 TB of storage on an LVM, 2 tuners and also is used to rip/encode DVDs to xvid with dvdrip. Feel free to ask me general questions about Ubuntu, Debian, or Mythtv.

Contributions

  • I regularly provide support on the #ubuntu IRC channel
  • I am a member of the Ubuntu [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NewUserMentors New User's Network.] We provide support to new Ubuntu users by giving 10 hours/week or more of support via IRC, the forums and mailing lists.

  • I have contributed to the [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto Adding Repositories] wiki by adding screenshots and clearer descriptions.

  • I provide support on the Ubuntu and Backport forums and try to look for dependency problems on Backport packages. I found dependency issues in Backport's Konversation and Firefox/Mozilla packages which were soon fixed.
  • I have also created a new wiki page about the Multimedia codecs & Audio/Video software available in Ubuntu with screenshots, descriptions, and information about the reppositories & packages needed to enable multimedia functionality. See [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NewUserGuideMultimedia?action=show Multimedia Support]

  • I also created a wiki page to facilitate adding the Universe, Multiverse, and Hoary-Extras repositories as a link off my Multimedia Support wiki. See [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NewUserGuideAddingRepositories Adding Repositories for Multimedia Support]
