Ubuntu and I

I currently provide support on #ubuntu for a few hours a day, and triage a bunch of bugs (and submitted patches), and am working on becoming a member of MOTU. Current launchpad karma is 2191 and rising (this is my testimonial).

Also have signed the Ubuntu Code of Conduct and am a Ubuntero.
