Hi, my name is Philip Cain. I'm 22 and you could call me an IT systems administrator and webmaster. Kubuntu is the primary OS on my desktop at home, and I hope to assimilate more desktops and servers at work. I plan on helping the Ubuntu community, and specifically the Kubuntu project, in any way I can. I'll do this mostly by adopting threads in the forums, adding [:HowTos: HowTo] wikis, cleaning the wiki, reporting/fixing bugs, creating artwork, answering questions on #kubuntu, and helping with documentation. Another area I'd like to help in is eliminating the "last mile" of required CLI usage from within Kubuntu.

 * [http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=23981 Kubuntu Package Menu] - This code is now included in Breezy within the kubuntu-default-settings
 * New package testing (eventually here I'll be testing KDE 3.5 packages in Hoary and Breezy)
 * [[http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=23981|Kubuntu Package Menu]] - This code I wrote was implemented in Breezy within the kubuntu-default-settings package. A better implementation of this functionality appeared in Ubuntu 6.06 with gdebi, and hopefully someone will implement something as elegant (kdebi?) for Kubuntu 6.10.
