Ubuntu Wiki

Who am I?

I'm Pasi Lallinaho, a geek from Helsinki, Finland. I'm the Xubuntu Marketing Lead, working with all things from websites and artwork to global TV advertising (not really, but would like). In addition to that, I'm also helping other flavors and Ubuntu teams in some website and graphics related things if needed.

I'm obsessed to open source, CSS, web standards, music, ...

My work

Ubuntu

• Joined Ubuntu September 2008
• New Xubuntu website - published parallel to Intrepid

• WIP: Working on the Xubuntu artwork guidelines

• UDS Jaunty: sessions about *buntu* cooperation and Xubuntu
• Xubuntu Jaunty + Karmic artwork cycles

• * After Karmic, founded [[http://shimmerproject.org/|Shimmer Project], which is creating artwork for Xfce generally

• WIP: Grow the Xubuntu community

Non-Ubuntu

Before joining the Ubuntu project I worked with the Amarok project for about two years. I was part of the Rokymotion (promotion) team, but I also gave massive amount of user support. Apart from working with open source projects, we run our own IT services company in Finland named Alshain (where we also emphasize open source solutions).

My goals

As I previously stated, my goal is to promote Xubuntu by various means. Also I'm interested in promoting open source in general. I'm also interested to make the complete Ubuntu community work even more productive and cooperative.

Whatever I do, I do with full heart.

He is always considerate of others and willing to help. knome's work in Xubuntu artwork is being used in Jaunty 9.04.
