Hi, my name is Chris, and I'm an Ubuntu user.
My name is Chris Wilson and I'm currently studying for an MSc in Applied Conputing at the University of Dundee in the UK. I expect to complete the course at the end of August 2011, after which anything could happen. This course is designed as a 'conversion course' for those who's background is not in computing and who wish to either gain experience in the field or, like me, wish to dive into the heart of the industry. Before that I was a physicist in the Optics Group at the University of Glasgow, and managed to get half way through a PhD before realising I didn't like physics.

Goals
I'm currently a software engineer in training and have had a thrown-in-at-the-deep-end style crash course in C++, but it'll be a few more months before I know enough to be able to find my way around the Ubuntu source code. I'm planning on learnign Python and Java, as well as Bash (full-on shell scripting as opposed to the simple one-liners I'm executing right now) and Z-Shell, but that's all in the future.
My overall goal with the Ubuntu project is to make it more accessible to the non-tech-savvy, and to that end I plan on spending a lot of time with the One Hundred Papercuts project. Right now, I'm just going through the list of new bugs and removing the ones the don't fulfil the requirements to be considered a papercut, but I'm hoping to actually submit a patch to something over the next few months.
I also plan on becoming a MOTU.
Also, I'd trade one of my kidneys (and possibly someone else's too) for an engineering job at Canonical.
