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 mostly 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 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 satisfy our guide lines.

  • Occasionally translating some string in Launchpad. I did a bunch from app-install-data for the Maverick cycle.

  • Helping the Artwork Team with the new SMF forumtheme for Ubuntu LoCo's. Both discussions and coding.

  • Actively participate in discussions regarding the Dutch LoCo on our forum, IRC channels and mailinglists.

  • Attending IRC meetings from the teams I work with as well as the general monthly Ubuntu NL meeting.

Plans

  • Help improving the Dutch LoCo.

  • Keep improving the dutch wiki.
  • Orientate more in the international community.
  • Far Future:
    • Help with (Java) packaging.
    • Support Ubuntu with coding (help with fixing bugs or implement new features) or build software for the community.
