History
My first linux experience was around 2002 with Red Hat. For the study Informatics I needed to setup a Red hat server and try to compile some C custom made programs which we initially made on Windows. After this mandatory use of linux I tried several distro's until I installed Ubuntu 6.06 Desktop. From then I only use Ubuntu and sometimes debian.
In the beginning I mainly used IRC for support. Most help I got in #ubuntu and #ubuntu-nl. Since I joined #ubuntu-nl I stayed there, and help others with their problems as well. After a while I also joined the Dutch Forum and wiki, to get and give support.
At the end of 2009 I became more active on the Dutch wiki, and later joined the Documentation Team. During the summer of 2010 I joined the Dutch Translation Team. Both are subteams of the DutchTeam Ubuntu NL.
Technical experience
In terms of programming and scripting I dare to say that I'm skilled in: Java, PHP, HTML, CSS, Javascript, PostgreSQL and MySQL. These are techniques I've used regularly for at least the last 6 years.
Besides those, I have experience with several other techniques. Mostly for a periode, or just experimental. I can handle those techniques, but I'm just less experienced with: Python, C, C++, C#, Groovy, Scala and JavaFX.
Current activities
- Support Ubuntu users on IRC and the dutch forum.
Maintaining the Dutch Team/Documentation wiki on http://wiki.ubuntu-nl.org/. Help new users to get along and keep pages up-to-date or improve them to satisfy our guide lines.
Translating in Launchpad. In the beginning I began with translating a bunch of strings from app-install-data for the Maverick cycle. Now I translate several projects.
Helping the Artwork Team with the new SMF forumtheme for Ubuntu LoCo's. Both discussions and coding.
- Supporting the greate initiative Mwanzo (Dutch Ubuntu Beginners Team). Help maintaining their wiki, brainstorm about ideas and help out new people who want to contribute to the community.
Actively participate in discussions regarding the Dutch LoCo on our forum, IRC channels and mailinglists.
- Attending IRC meetings of the teams I work with as well as the general monthly Ubuntu NL meeting.

Endorsements
It has been fun to have rachidbm around as a member of the Ubuntu-nl-mwanzo team. He takes nothing for granted, is creative, and has a positive attitude. With his knowledge of the Ubuntu-nl loco, and the way he contributes his positions is one of an "allrounder". He is a great translator, a wiki-editor, and writer of several "howto's". And don't forget his contributions on IRC, he is almost 24 hours a day around for support.I have no reservations at all giving rachidbm my ful support in his application for Ubuntu Membership. -- leoquant 28-02-2011
