I used gnome-2 (with 10.10) . When Unity came up (in 11.04) i didn't really liked it , until i discovered that was too easy . Easy to find anything with less clicks (of course you must know what you are looking for). I got used to working with this easy environment and i am doing my work easy now. |

My relationship with Ubuntu
Discovering Ubuntu and the free world
I first used Ubuntu in October 2010 when 10.10 was released. I discovered it by accident as I was surfing the Web. It piqued my interest as a different operating system, and I had never seen before any free operating system. Until then I was clearly only a Windows user. I had never read before about open source and free software. Then Ubuntu booted for the first time on my PC. Outstanding . Stable - Fast, no need for external device drivers, everything worked out of the box!
Currently
Currently, I'm working on several projects focused more on our local Ubuntu(GR) team. Since Nov 2012 I'm an Official Ubuntu Member, and I'm trying to keep my contribution to Ubuntu Community significant and sustained.
Future
I will continue using, testing and advocating Ubuntu and contributing in any way I can to spread FOSS and make it qualitative.

The Ubuntu Promise
Ubuntu is free. Always has been and always will be. From the operating system to security updates, storage to software. Ubuntu is fast to load, easy to use, available in most languages and accessible to all. Ubuntu applications are all free and open source – so you can share them with anyone you like, as often as you like. Ubuntu comes with full support and all kinds of services available worldwide.
My Promise
I will continue contributing to the Ubuntu Community. From helping others on their first steps and searching for solutions to their problems up to promoting FOSS in any way I can. I will continue giving assistance mainly at:
