I'm testing Lubuntu 12.10. you can too! Grab a daily build or update your sources.list and jump on the bandwagon. It's great fun, and you get to play with all of the new features that arrive almost daily. Make this one the best yet. |

Introduction
I'm a 16-year-old from the UK, with a love of all things logical. I don't function especially well with people, so I particularly love online communities, such as the forums and IRC.
I especially love programming, (I just started to learn), as it allows me to think as logically as possible, and produce something that works as a result. While like any other beginning programmer, I've tried making platform games, 3D games, massive projects, I'm starting to realise that finishing small projects is more satisfying, so I'm cooling down a little and submitting patches rather than new projects.
Ubuntu Community Involvement
Ubuntu Forums
I've been a member of Ubuntu Forums since 19th of June, 2011, when I joined to solve graphics card problem. Little did I realise I'd still be coming back nearly a year later.
The community there is fantastic, and I intend to stay for as long as I still enjoy it.
IRC
Forumgoers, you may see me hanging around #ubuntuforums. Great place to be, especially when quackers starts eating things again. 
Lubuntu Team
I'm a member of Lubuntu Team since 28th of Oct, 2011. I love Lubuntu (runs great on my machine), and I hope to prove my worth as much as possible. My best memories of Lubuntu is the IRC meetings (always a laugh) and my work so far on Lubuntu, which was, needless to say, satisfying and backed up by very experienced mentors.
Lubuntu
I'm a member of Lubuntu One Stop Group, a small group of forumgoers that try and provide the best support possible for Lubuntu. Feel free to join as well, although Ali "the boss", is otherwise detained until June.

Experience & Skills
I've been using Linux since I joined Ubuntu Forums. I'm also reasonably competent at programming, although, as ever, a long way to go yet.

Testimonials
MG&TL is a very helpful, knowledgeable contributor to Ubuntu. Many times we've worked on the same thread, and I'm continually impressed with his excellent posting style. +1 -cortman.
