About

I am a freelance website developer from Australia. I've been using Linux since approximately July 2005. Ubuntu has so far been my only distro, as I haven't found any need to change Wink ;)

I like my operating systems like I like my cars - already assembled and without any rust spots.

Involvement

Official

I am currently the AustralianTeam LoCoTeamContact. I sometimes chair the team's fortnightly meetings.

I am active on IRC and in mailing lists.

Currently, I heavily am involved in undertaking a surveys project to get information about Potential, Current and Previous users of Ubuntu, which will also generate information that is useful to the whole FOSS 'industry'.

I am also working on LoCoTeam Mentoring with Jono Bacon.

Non-Official

I am responsible for The Ubuntu Counter Project ( http://ubuntucounter.geekosophical.net ), which is a non-official 'census' of users and their machines. Just a little project to gather some interesting and possibly useful stats. Also to provide users with little blog or forum sig images with which to display their Ubuntu pride and spread the word of Ubuntu to the unwashed masses.

The Future

My dream is not to have every computer in the world running Ubuntu, although it would be nice. Rather, I dream of the day that everyone knows that they have a choice.

I hope to have the privilege of working with all the wonderful people in this community to help Ubuntu grow and be strong.
