About Me

I'm a student of Computer Applications. I tried out Fedora a few years back and liked it. I moved to Ubuntu a year after I bought my laptop (2008). I've started using Ubuntu from Hardy and I love it. Now, I have joined the Ubuntu Community to help spread the word and help new users.

Team Membership

Beginners Team

Beginners Team The Beginners Team was my stepping stone to Ubuntu contribution. I met a lot of people with whom I worked with later on. I occasionally help on LP Answers and on the Ubuntu Forums (rarely). At times when users ask help on IRC and I know the answer I help out on the BT help channel, #ubuntu-beginners. My first contribution to Ubuntu was with BT, revamping the Swap FAQ page. See Answers Profile See Forums Profile See Swap FAQ page

Ubuntu Community Learning Project

Ubuntu Community Learning Project I'm a course writer and so far got around to writing one course. It finished one review and I'm in the process of updating the course after review. After doctormo is free, the course needs to have Ground Control integrated into it and as such is on hold for now. In the mean time, I'll be writing a wiki page for it and probably leading an IRC session. See the course

Bug Squad

Bug Squad I'm part of the Bug Squad and help triage bugs as often as possible. I'm being mentored by C de-Avillez. I lead a session about Launchpad for the Ubuntu User Day based on my experience as a bug triager. See the session logs See all the bugs I've triaged

I adopted the Rhythmbox package and now I'm working on closing the old bugs. I've created an apport hook for Rhythmbox, which should be ready in Lucid.

Ubuntu User Days Team

Ubuntu User Days A sub-team of ubuntu-classroom and ubuntu-learning, initially even though I wasn't part of the team, I helped out. I joined hands with Chris in getting session leaders for the User Day. I went onto to design the current logo and volunteer to lead a session myself about Using Launchpad. I was honoured to be accepted to this team and help host the event and be added as one of the drivers of the Ubuntu User Days Team. I blogged and tweeted about the User Days to bring it to the attention of as many people as possible. See original logo on Flickr See my session logs See User Days Team See Blog post

Testimonials

  • Martin Owens - I've worked with nigel in the Ubuntu Learning project where he's been an enthusiastic and productive member. Helping to write courses and writing one himself, helping to push other people along and always being friendly and polite.

  • I have mentored Nigel (and truth be said, pretty much all of the usual suspects in #ubuntu-bugs also mentored him). He shows the enthusiasm, commitment, and interest we need so much -- not counting with his (bug) adoption of rhythmbox, and the writing of apport hooks, and the upstreaming of bugs. Definitely a +1. C de-Avillez

  • I met Nigel during the organization of the first Ubuntu Users Days. I have found him to be easy to work with, enthusiastic and tolerant of my foibles. I look forward to working with him on future UUD's and kidding him about his bike riding habits. Mark

  • I have worked with Nigel on many different projects. Nigel helped me to put together and run the first Ubuntu User Day, has worked with me scheduling instructors for the Ubuntu Classroom, and has done good work with the BugSquad. Nigel would make a great addition to the Ubuntu Membership, and I am looking forward to watching the amazing work that he will continue to do with Ubuntu. -- chrisjohnston 2010-02-27 14:42:39
