Linux user since 2003, when in the 9th Grade I installed Mandrake 9.1 on an old Desktop. I have since moved between Fedora, Debian, Gentoo, and finally Ubuntu. I have been a recreational Programmer since 2004, Professionally since 2006. I have been working with Embedded Linux (ARM) since 2007, developing a debian derived OS for our platform. I have been employed since 2008 as an x86 developer and lead architect at a small company. Currently an undergrad with a declared CS Major. = Contact = '''EMail:''' paultag@gmail.com, tag@paultags.com '''IRC''' paultag on irc.freenode.net * #Ubuntu * #ubuntuforums-beginners * #defocus '''Sites:''' https://launchpad.net/~paultag, http://paultags.com = Contributions to the Community = * Creator of Sabre (a Bluetooth plugin for amaroK) Designed and tested for Ubuntu.

Once, a famous Windows system administrator came to Master Foo and asked him for instruction: “I have heard that you are a powerful Unix wizard. Let us trade secrets, that we may both gain thereby.” |

* I have worked with Paul extensively since I joined the Ubuntu Forums BT. Paul is a helpful and friendly guy that goes out of his way to contribute in a positive manner. His contributions to Ubuntu ([[https://launchpad.net/sabre|Sabre]] and [[https://launchpad.net/qube|Qube]]), combined with his positive approach to helping people make him an ideal candidate for Ubuntu Membership. Please consider his application favorably. [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Old_soldier|Charles Davis]] | |

* I worked with Paul on both the Beginners Team, and on the development of Sabre (in fact I believe I pushed him to take it further ;)) His contributions to the community are no less than great, and I sincerely hope you approve him for Ubuntu Membership. [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Joeb454|Joe Barker]] | The administrator looked puzzled at this. “But it is said that you are a great Unix guru who knows all the innermost mysteries. As do I in Windows; I am an MCSE, and I have many other certifications of knowledge not common in the world. I know even the most obscure registry entries by heart. I can tell you everything about the Windows API, yes, even secrets those of Redmond have half-forgotten. What is the arcane lore that gives you your power?” |

* Paul was one of the first team members I got to know after joining the Beginners Team, and he certainly has been fun to work with. The Education focus group for the BT has a lot of potential, and Paul is working with that to help spread knowledge within the team and community. Much of his work has been done "behind the scenes" through involvement with programming (like Sabre) and other LP activities that don't typically rack up much karma. I definitely support his application for Ubuntu Membership. [[Rocket2DMn| Connor Imes]] | Master Foo said: “I have none. Nothing is hidden, nothing is revealed.” Growing angry, the administrator said “Very well, if you hold no secrets, then tell me: what do I have to know to become as powerful in the Unix way as you?” Master Foo said: “A man who mistakes secrets for knowledge is like a man who, seeking light, hugs a candle so closely that he smothers it and burns his hand.” <<Include(Paultag/Nav)>> <<Include(Paultag/Roles)>> |
