=== Advocacy, Misc. ===

 * Various contributions in different Wiki's and Ubuntu mailing lists.

 * Advocate Ubuntu awareness whenever possible and have distributed my surplus Hoary, Breezy and Dapper CD's to many people locally and am happy to note that mostly students used it more than engineers.

 * Am trying to learn about packaging, testing and learning other technical details about Ubuntu and its relation with Debian and how they work in tandem.
