== Contact == ''Launchpad'': [[http://launchpad.net/people/tim-adam]] ''Email'': == About me == I'm a Belgian (Flemish) ICT engineer interested in open source software development and network security. Although i have to work mostly on the Windows platform for my job, i try to invest some time to learn how to handle the open source platforms, since i feel i will be needing the experience within some years when Linux will take over the enterprise network as Desktop OS. I believe that taking Linux as a desktop environment in the office would increase productivity and security. The remaining time i develop network/intranet applications, websites and webservices. I ususally develop in one of these languages depending on my needs: * Visual Basic (.NET) * Python (Django) * PHP 5 (CodeIgniter) == Teams/Groups == Responsible for a distribution point in Oostduinkerke, Belgium. Check out [[http://map.ubuntu-be.org/index.php|the map of personal distribution points]]. Member of [[https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-be|the ubuntu-be mailing list]]. == Experience == I have tried out various Linux distributions at home such as Debian, Archlinux, SUSE, Mandriva as secondary OS and a load of live cd's such as Gnoppix, Knoppix STD, Helix, Gentoo before i found Ubuntu. I kinda like the way the Ubuntu community sticks together. Currently i'm running Ubuntu as primary OS on my Travelmate 290 and Toshiba T 8000, and i'm still learning new tricks thanks to the documentation & the forums. At work i recuperated an Mac G3 PowerPc that was about to be thrown away by installing Ubuntu on it. I've encountered a lot of boundaries and restrictions when trying to get it to work, but in some kind of way i feel it has only helped me to understand how Ubuntu works from the inside out. ---- CategoryHomepage
