While I don't have a very high post count, I do try to help people there when I have something relevant to say, that hasn't already been said in any given thread. I enjoy helping people through any means possible, including forums. Within the Ubuntu Forums, I generally find posts and topics that pertain to what I've figured out so that I might help others in a similar situation. This has comprised mostly of laptop and netbook issues.

Hello, my name is Thomas Martin and I am an information architect in the Pacific Northwest, residing in the state of Washington. You will find me online, more often than not, under the name tenach.

Linux was introduced to me long before I really knew what it meant, though I started using it myself in 2003. At that time I was running Red Hat on an old Pentium 233MHz tower as a server for a game. The first distribution I used for desktop purposes was Fedora, dual booting with Windows XP. I became a distro hopper and tried out Debian, Arch Linux, FreeBSD, Slackware, and Ubuntu, ultimately sticking with Ubuntu 7.04, but still dual booting. Since then, I've stuck with Ubuntu and as of mid-2009, stopped using non-free operating systems.

Linux and Ubuntu in particular have ignited my interest in Free and Open Source Software as well as giving a home to my passion for helping others with their problems, technology-related and otherwise.

Current Projects

Ubuntu Whube Project: I am a core developer for the Whube Project, and am currently active with building the Whube Web Framework, Whubebugs, and syn (a package manager).
Ubuntu Scrib: scrib is a small, modular bot written in Python. At its core, it provides info/chat bot functionality for IRC. Code is released under AGPL and available on github. This is my first foray into Python and Artificial Intelligence.
Ubuntu Hopewell-Loudon Virtualization Project: I am mentoring students in the building of a cloud computing system where staff and students can access their documents from any computer with a web operating system.

Testimonials

If you wish to describe my contributions to the Ubuntu Community please do so below. Thank You.

Ubuntu Membership

Tenach is someone that I'm not only proud to call a co-contributor, but a friend as well. Tenach has been working in the Ubuntu ecosystem regularly and significantly for the last few years. Every time I start a side project, I always seem to find Tenach's patches in my inbox. It's to the point where I personally trust him with write access to any project I maintain. In short, Tenach upholds the word "Ubuntu" in both letter and spirit. I'm shocked he did not go for membership earlier, and support his application without reserve. Please look upon his application favorably. -- paultag 2011-05-24 03:10:41

Ubuntu Beginners Team

Tenach is a very committed hard working individual. He is always willing to spend his time to help others. I strongly support his application for Beginners Team membership. Bodsda

Sheesh. The mark of a good writer is "Look, I'm sorry this is 20 pages, I only had a day", not "Look, I'm so happy it's 20 pages". In the case of Tenach, I don't think we can hit that 20 page deadline. Wherever you are in the community, chances are Tenach is willing to get involved. A truly self-motivated and driven individual, and decidedly donkey-like in his unrepentant devotion to a project. I know that Tenach is one of the first people I go to when starting on a new venture, and he is a truly invaluable asset to the Beginners Team. I support his application without reserve, hesitation or condition. -- paultag 2010-06-03 19:48:00

Tenach Tenach Tenach...what can I say that will do him justice? He's awesome, self-motivated, driven, and just plain cool! His work with the BeginnersTeam has been awesome to say the least and his assistance with the BT Wiki FG has been invaluable. He is always willing to help those whom he can, and he's willing to learn from others and share what he knows as well. He's got my support without hesitation, without reserve, and without question. Please look upon his application favorably. -- zkriesse 2010-07-05 19:27:00
