I'm a current serving member of Her Majesty's Armed Forces and have been for 18 years. I first used Linux back in about 1995 and subsequently switched to Ubuntu, which I have used ever since, in 2005. All my computers now use Ubuntu full time. Laptops and Desktop. == Ubuntu and Me == === LoCo Teams === ==== Ubuntu UK ==== I am a contributor to the IRC channel #ubuntu-uk on the Freenode network, I help others where possible as well as adding to the community feel of the channel. === Dev === ==== Ubuntu UK ==== I am a member of the en_GB Translation Team, where I try to be a productive member! ==== EeePC ==== I have written a script that 'tweaks' Ubuntu to work properly on the EeePC 701 model of netbooks. It's website can be found at [[http://eee.ricey.co.uk|eee.ricey.co.uk]] == The Future == I have taken a lot from Ubuntu over the years, it has taught me a great deal. I am now looking to give something back to the community. Starting with the Translation Team, an area in which I am comfortable, I hope to expand my work to other projects. I also advocate the use of Linux to others and have 'converted' a substantial number over the past few months. This work will continue! == Testimonials == ---- [[CategoryUKTeamProfile]]
