(Yes I am aware that I have a pretty big name, in fact I could not finish registration for the school final exam.) Anyway back to work, I am not a technical person, know less about the technical aspects of computer or Linux. Like many, Ubuntu is the first Linux distro I have tried. I believe that what I receive I should return it back to other. So I decided to give back to the Ubuntu community by providing my services on which I am knowledgeable. I am marketing student and I actually look after the marketing section of our Local Community Team in Bangladesh. Bangladesh is full of potential what it requires is the right guideline and I believe Opensource philosophy can help Bangladesh prosper. === Ubuntu Bangladesh === * I am working as the marketing and content manager for this approved local community team. It is part of my responsibility to maintain the official webpage for our LoCo Team [[http://www.ubuntu-bd.org|ubuntu-bd.org]].
