= About Me =
I started using computers in 1982 programming BASIC on an Apple ][. Please note that this is not the ][+ or the ][c and this was ''way'' before Macs.

While I have used Windows as I muddled throughout my life and career I began using Linux with Ubuntu Feisty Fawn 7.04 and reawakened my inner geek. Suddenly life has meaning again.

I've set some goals for myself because I like to move forward. I've wanted to give something back to the community for quite a while and now I've begun that process also.

= Goals =

== Goals Pending ==
 * convert more from Windows to Ubuntu
 * become more involved with Ubuntu Studio

== Goals in Progress ==
 * FOSS Music Project - see [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScottLavender#FOSS%20Music%20Project|FOSS Music Project]] below for brief explanation and [[http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1149477 |Ubuntu Forums post]] for longer explanation
  * wiki
  * Drupal site
 * help testing Ubuntu Studio daily builds and Alphas
 * help with Ubuntu Studio documentation at [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio]
 * help push ''libffado'' into the main repositories by creating a [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MainInclusionReport/libffado|main inclusion report]].

== Goals Accomplished ==
 * start using Ubuntu
 * create web server
 * create wiki for work
 * create bbs
 * start blogging
 * create recording studio
 * create data back-up for home network
 * create file server using NFS for home network
 * wife's laptop now uses Ubuntu 9.04
 * added dual boot to my son's computer
 * create custom distribution of Ubuntu based on the Misfits to help interest someone to use Ubuntu
 * created documentation for [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudioControls|Ubuntu Studio Controls]].

== Goals Scrubbed ==
 * create mail server - got most of it together but realized, hey, I use gmail, why bother?


= Special Projects =

== FOSS Music Project ==
Basically, this is a HOWTO to show complete Linux newbies how to install and use Ubuntu Studio using modest hardware. Therefore, it will showcase a very select crash course in Linux, Ubuntu and Ubuntu Studio.

The focus will mainly be on recording music from a rock/metal band consisting of guitars, bass, drums (live and Hydrogen) and vocals. Sorry, don't know diddle about electronica or MIDI at this point.

It will also include basics about mixing and mastering music gathered from books, experience and very cool forums that include people with multiple gold records on their walls.
