I first installed Ubuntu 9/2005 with the Breezy Release Candidate and have never looked back. I'm currently a student in my first year at university studying mathematics. I've made 6 Ubuntu converts, as well several dozen 'firefoxers' and a handful introduced to openoffice.

- Registered on the forums in October 2005. I've been a regular poster since, amassing over 2500 posts assisting other users as well as requesting help for my own.
http://ubuntuforums.org have been the difference for me between Ubuntu and other Linux distributions, offering a wealth of information, support and advice which assisted my with my switch from windows xp. I was appointed a moderator on the 10th of October 2006
I'm hoping to help bring the forums closer to the main ubuntu community, putting myself forward for the "Ambassador" spec being an example: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ambassadors
Examples of my assistance may include:

Took my Edgy & Beryl machine to a 3 day install weekend at the university of york (featured in york lug wiki) to help with promotion of ubuntu and its abilities. I mainly pushed the community aspect of ubuntu including its forums as well as assisting new users with installs.
