My story

I started to use GNU/Linux since 1999, my first distribution was Redhat 5.0, and I use Ubuntu since 2005. I felt in Love with it when I first looked at Breezy (5.10), and I was shocked by its flexibility, fastness and apt system. Since then I continue to use it on my desktop and laptop release by release. So I have nearly 5 years Ubuntu experience now.

What I like most in Ubuntu

• Up-to-date packages
• Stability
• Fastness
• Fine-tuned system
• Gorgeous user interface and excellent user experience

Summary of my contributions to Ubuntu

• I have been doing a lot of translations both on upsteam and downstream. For GNOME, I'm translating and committing contributions, so that Ubuntu could also take the benefit from the upstream.

• Other Ubuntu translations

• Spread Ubuntu on lots of events, like Software freedom day, and Beijing Linux User Group. (I'm in ubuntu-loco-enthusiasts, locoteams and ubuntu-china groups, so I was helping to push Ubuntu to new people and help them to solve problems.)

• Build Mono Accessibility deb packages in my PPA for Ubuntu users, and some of them were uploaded into debian archive.

• Suggest Mono Accessibility team to officially host deb packages in team PPA,

What I'm currently working on

• For non-packaging, I was working on GNOME & Mono Accessibility as a Build and QA engineer.

• For packaging, I was working on building Mono Accessibility packages for Debian/Ubuntu, and also I was trying to push new packages into Debian/Ubuntu archives.

• For the great people I worked with, I have learned a lot from TheMuso, Mike Gorse on GNOME Accessibility, meebey and directhex on debian packaging, Sandy Armstrong on Snowy.

Now I am

• I'm a volunteer of GNOME sysadmin team, I was helping on deploy Snowy (aka tomboy-online), a GNOME online service, and other sysadmin tasks.

• I'm also a committer of GNOME Chinese translation team, and I was doing translation, proofreading and submission.

• GNOME Foundation member

• Volunteer of GNU webmaster

• Active member and administrator of Beijing Linux User Group

Plans for the future

• To be more helpful for those who wants to try Ubuntu, and give helps.

• More i18n, l10n contributions for Ubuntu.
• Help to organize an local Ubuntu User Group, and to be more active in Ubuntu community.
• To become a MOTU.
