== About Me ==

I'm a forty something information technology professional and Linux enthusiast. I live in Hampshire, England, with my wife and daughter. I've been using Linux since 1995 and my first experience with Ubuntu was 4.10 (Warty Warthog). Prior to Ubuntu I used Yggdrasil, Slackware, Redhat, CRUX and Fedora. Ubuntu was my only workstation operating system from late 2004 until early 2012, when I switched to Arch Linux for my workstations.

== Things I do for Ubuntu ==

I have recently co-founded [[https://ubuntu-mate.org|Ubuntu MATE]] and am currently the project lead. I am keen that Ubuntu MATE get recognised as an official Ubuntu flavor. Since starting work on Ubuntu MATE I have contributed several merge propsals to Ubuntu.

== External Stuff ==

 * [[https://www.archlinux.org/trustedusers/|Arch Linux Trusted User]] currently maintaining ~200 packages.
 * [[http://mate-desktop.org|MATE Desktop developer and webmaster]]
 * Maintainer of the [[http://mate-desktop.org/blog/2014-01-30-mate-desktop-live-cd|MATE Live CD]] (based on Arch Linux)
 * Debian contributor for the MATE packinging team.
 * MATE desktop and Arch Linux liason for [[http://sonargnulinux.com/|Sonar GNU/Linux]].
 * Regular contributor to [[http://www.jupiterbroadcasting.com/show/linuxun/|Linux Unplugged]].
 * Interviewed for several Linux related podcasts.
 * Member of 2 local LUGs.

== Future Work ==

 * Establish a larger team of regular contributors for Ubuntu MATE.
 * Refine Ubuntu MATE, with regard to user experience and artwork.

== Room for Improvement ==

There are areas where I'd like to improve myself and my own knowledge:

 * More development using GObject Introspection.
