== Introduction ==
Hi, I am Jackseen Jeyaluck.(Jacky) I am from SriLanka currently working as QA engineer at an IT Company. I like to translate Ubuntu into our Language (Tamil). We, Tamil, Most of us can't use free Operating System in SriLanka b'coz of the lack awareness . But This Ubuntu give us the chance to use Ubuntu in our language. So i used my office hour to translate Ubuntu. After translating Ubuntu, i am so happy and proud when i see my translation in Ubuntu. I will try to translate Ubuntu into Tamil for50%.

== About Me ==
My name is Jackseen Jeyaluck. I was born in SriLanka. I spent most of my childhood in Kalmunai, a Big, seaside town on the Ampara District. Much of my childhood was spent around the computer and reading books.currently iam follow IT degree at Colombo university..! I am a person who is positive about every aspect of life. There are many things I like to do, to see, and to experience. I like to read, I like to write; I like to think, I like to dream; I like to talk, I like to listen.This is a brief introduction of myself. If you are interested in knowing more, read my articles or take a look at my pictures. Do not expect too much, and keep your sense of humor.
My name is Thomas, at the time of this writing I'm 32 years old, married, living in NRW, Germany. Among other things I enjoy travelling, spending time with friends and family, I do read a lot and try to workout regularly (although I'm pretty bad at keeping a regular cadence there :)).

I have been a Debian user before boarding the Ubuntu train at Warty, 4.10. Since then, I have been using Ubuntu for my day to day work and personal computing needs. With joining Canonical around 11.10, I started working on Ubuntu full-time.

I would like Ubuntu to be the first operating system/platform that is able to power a whole zoo of form-factors and provide users with a beautiful and efficient UX, that is consistent and seamlessly adapting to different usage scenarios, form factors and devices.

 * Thomas Voss is fantastic. I've met him at various UDSes, saw his work in various places and in the last few months worked together with him on making it easier to contribute to some upstream projects.
