How I Found Ubuntu

I found Ubuntu via a friend of mine who lent me a CD with Ubuntu 5.10, Breezy Badger. I really liked the system, so I installed it on my laptop. From then on, I have remained with one version of Ubuntu or another, and eventually got involved with the Ubuntu community.

Future Plans

Aside from working with my LoCo, I plan on working in other areas of the Ubuntu community.

1. Ubuntu Developer Network - I plan on creating a new site called the Ubuntu Developer Network (Pending Canonical's approval, of course) to connect and educate Ubuntu developers all in one easy location. Not only for packaging software for Ubuntu, but actually developing software ON Ubuntu.

2. OpenAdvance - I am also working on programming a Boy Scout advancement-tracking application for Ubuntu. It's still under wraps now, but I hope to at least have a beta available at the end of this year (I'm a busy man!). It will be open source, written in Java, and released under the GPLv3.
