Madpilot
"Madpilot" is Brian Burger's username or nick on various online activities, including #ubuntu on IRC.
I'm actually a pilot, not actually insane, and doing my best to have Ubuntu's wiki make sense from the perspective of someone who's only been using Linux since late May 2005.
Prior to May I ran Windows XP for a while, and Win98SE for 5 years before that. I've become a thorough convert to the Linux home desktop - it really does work, full time and Windows-free!
My email is blurdesign at gmail dot com; alternately try yh728 at victoria dot tc dot ca.
I'm fairly fluent in HTML and CSS, starting to learn PHP & Javascript, and do a bit of web development for fun and extra income. I maintain a website at http://www.warbard.ca/ although there is really nothing about Ubuntu there currently.
I signed the [http://www.ubuntulinux.org/community/conduct/ Ubuntu Code of Conduct] on October 23, 2005, and can now call myself an Ubuntite!
My [https://launchpad.net/people/yh728 Launchpad page], although there's not a lot there that isn't also here.
I'm a volunteer on the DocumentationTeam and WikiTeam, mostly contributing to this wiki. On the wiki, I seem to spend a lot of time editing and formatting -- someone has to! I'm also on the CanadianTeam, and follow the ArtTeam and MarketingTeam's activities when I've got time.
On The Wiki: The hardware pages have been a bit of a focus; I've helped clean up the printer sections, and I seem to be spending a fair bit of time with the modem & wireless internet stuff, despite the fact that I use neither - they're both such enormous messes that even basic proofreading helps...
Particular pet pages, in no particular order: OperaBrowser, BasicCommands, ["ApacheMySQLPHP"], WikiGuide, DIYMarketing
On The Docs: I've been adding to the Desktop Guide, bringing parts of it up to date (in between muttering about DocBook XML, which I've never worked with before...). I've completely rewritten the CD burning section to reflect the tools that are available by default in 5.10.
I spend time on #ubuntu and some of the other Ubuntu IRC channels, as well, helping where I can. At least half of being helpful on #ubuntu is knowing how to use the resident bot - ubotu - because so many of the problems recurr again and again...
And yes, I'm related to CoreyBurger, who is my younger brother.
