About Me
I've been using Linux since 1998, starting with Red Hat. I quickly moved to Debian for a long time, then to Ubuntu during the WartyWarthog release. My local LUG is the Townsville Linux Users Group, for which I administer both the website and Freenode irc channel (#tlug) voluntary. I have a blog at [http://linuxguy.bur.st/ http://linuxguy.bur.st/], [https://launchpad.net/people/rstoffers a Launchpad page] and I'm also a member of the following projects and organisations:
- Member of Ubuntu
Member of the Ubuntu DocumentationTeam
Member of [http://www.freenode.net Freenode] Staff
Member of [http://www.linux.com.au Linux Australia]
Member of [http://tlug.dnho.net Townsville Linux Users Group]
- Ubuntu IRC operator team member
I am no longer a member of the [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AustralianTeam Australian LoCo team] due to reasons given [http://linuxguy.bur.st/?p=7 here on my blog].
How Have I Contributed to Ubuntu?
I am the primary author of the Ubuntu Starter Guide that was released with BreezyBadger and available via Yelp in every Ubuntu BreezyBadger installation. Based on ubuntuguide.org, the [http://help.ubuntu.com/starterguide/C/index.html Ubuntu Starter Guide] aims to address several key criticisms whist being technically correct and open to the Ubuntu community. I also help maintain other documents in the DocumentationTeam subversion repository and help out new contributors to Ubuntu documentation.
For DapperDrake I did most of the initial ground work and organisation of the [http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/index.html Ubuntu Desktop Guide], although time restraints recently due to the birth of my daughter has held me back from contributing further.
For EdgyEft I'm getting involved with the ["MOTU"] and maintain the "dolphin" package. I plan on becomming more involved with the ["MOTU"] to help Ubuntu become the best operating system available.
I also help out the WikiTeam by writing new guides or editing things I think need changing on the Ubuntu wiki. Some examples of my wiki-related work where I have contributed significantly include:
Other stuff that I have contributed to the Ubuntu community include:
- Ongoing administration of the Freenode #ubuntu IRC channel
- ["Presentations"] - Promoting Ubuntu and Linux in my local community
["LaptopTestingTeam/CompaqPresarioM2000"] - Current contact for my laptop on the LaptopTestingTeam
