== About Me == | While I have used Windows as I muddled throughout my life and my professional career I began using Linux with Ubuntu Feisty Fawn 7.04 in January of 2008 (thanks PC Magazine!) and reawakened my inner geek. Suddenly life has meaning again. Ubuntu Feisty was my first experience with Linux and I eagerly read and learned from wiki.ubuntu.com, Ubuntu Forums, mailing lists and blog posts. You can see a specific subset of my accomplishments during this period below in [[ScottLavender#Goals Accomplished|Goals Accomplished]]. During Hardy I became aware of Ubuntu Studio. This was a great interest to me as a musician and I spent the next year learning about Ubuntu Studio, the associated applications, and how to make and record music on my computer. Some of the results may be seen at [[http://wirblewind.rpmchallenge.com/|my RPM Challenge page.]] Discovering Ubuntu Studio was a momentous and life changing event for me. After I developed modicum of competency recording my own music I began to advocate to others about Ubuntu and Ubuntu Studio, which I still perform currently. But I felt that I needed to give back in a more direct and active manner to this phenomenon that had so richly impacted my life. Therefore, during Juanty I introduced myself to the Ubuntu Studio developer team and volunteered myself to help how ever I could. I have been modestly involved with the Ubuntu Studio developer activities since that time. |

=== Custom Distribution === I was working with the Enterprise Linux kids but they went nowhere really, really fast. But I transitioned and been off and on creating a custom respin of vanilla Ubuntu with a theme based on [[http://www.misfits.com/|the Misfits]]. It's kinda sad because I should have already finished it long ago. Eh, but I'm back on it and almost finished. I learned about creating custom Usplashes and found [[http://www.remastersys.klikit-linux.com/|Remastersys]] to create the ISO image. This is intended to help someone become interested and then comfortable with Ubuntu and Linux in general. Whatever it takes, man. === FOSS Music Project === |

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.
