== My Relationship with Ubuntu ==

=== Discover ===

I met Ubuntu in October 2010 after 10.10 released. Discovered by accident as i was looking for a program. Piqued my interest as a different OS as something i had never seen and as a Linux OS. I had never test before any other Linux OS. I was clearly a windows only user until then. I had never read before about open source and free software until then... then when Ubuntu booted for first time on my PC. '''Outstanding''' . Stable - Fast(very fast) - no drivers - everything worked out of the box and immediately.
I was quick ... dual-boot with windows.

=== Dealing with ===

Well , dealing with Ubuntu was fairly easy. 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.
Currently, I'm working on several projects focused more on our local Ubuntu(GR) team. Since [[http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2012/11/17/%23ubuntu-meeting.html|Nov 2012]] I'm an [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership|Official Ubuntu Member]], and I'm trying to keep my contribution to Ubuntu Community significant and sustained.
Line 37: Line 30:
I don't want to give big promises but i will use Ubuntu (as my mainly OS) and contribute with anyway i can to spread Ubuntu and make it better for everyone.  I will continue using, testing and advocating Ubuntu and '''contributing in any way I can''' to spread FOSS and make it qualitative.

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.

Contribution

Tutorials I've contributed in local Ubuntu community

Video Tutorials about Ubuntu can be found in my YouTube Channel, also in the General Ubuntu GR YouTube Channel(Greek Language).

The Ubuntu Promise

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:
