== About Me ==

I'm a father of three and husband to a long suffering wife...

By day I'm a mild mannered windows developer building software for rugged mobile devices for use in Proof of Delivery and various Logistics applications.

By night the transformation is complete and I'm a fully fledged geek with years experience in Sci-Fi, Fantasy, graphic novels.  It's true that my star wars t-shirt is faded and that I yearn for a beard that would grow long and thick. Except on Tuesdays and Thursdays when I become a potential instructor (PI) with the Army Cadet Force.

The only other thing to say is in order to off-set my eating habit I have taken up triathlon and am currently training extensively for a couple of Half Iron Man triathlons (1900m swim, 56mile bike, 13.1mile run) this upcoming season.

== Things I do for Ubuntu ==

=== Community ===

 * I'm striving to be an active member of the Ubuntu-UK LoCo
 * I attempt to give helpful support and advice in the #ubuntu-uk irc channel
 * I am working hard on converting everyone I meet to Ubuntu, by forcing Live CD's and/or iso's in their direction.
 * I'm hoping to join Ubuntu Beginners focusing on development projects.

=== Development ===

 * At home I am running the current late Alpha, and will switch to the beta as it becomes available this way I will be able to attempt to fix triaged bugs and should have the ability to file any necessary bug reports.
 
=== Support ===
 * I've contributed [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/~lee-willy1977-williams|bug reports]]
 * I help out with queries on the UK Lo Co mailing list where appropriate
 
== Room for Improvement ==
 * I need to get a grasp on Ubuntu and more importantly Linux in general coming from a windows background a lot of things in my knowledge need tweaking; I'm thinking that an overview would stand me in good stead.
 * Need to consult more when trying to help with bugs etc. it's one of those where I tend to wrestle with things when a simple question could clarify in moments :D
 * I need to pull my finger out and get the introduction email sent to the Ubuntu beginners mailing list.
 * Want to re-learn how to play the guitar, mandolin, and banjo - can then get back to recording only this time using Linux!
