About Me

Hi, I'm Timothé, aged 17. I was born and live in The Netherlands. I'm studying Software Engineering at the 'Hogeschool Utrecht', where I am learning Java. I'm eager to learn more programming languages, so I'm hoping to do some C/++ soon! I'm interested in web programming and have knowledge of PHP, MySQL, XHTML strict, CSS3 and a bit of javascript. Other, non-computer involved hobbies of mine are playing Football, Singing and listening to music (e.g. visiting concerts

My Involvement with the Linux Community

My main involvement with the linux community is the fact that I'm a Linux user. I've been using linux since Ubuntu 8.10, and since linux mint 9 I've been started using linux mint. As for Linux Mint I'm just a user, and whenever I can, I submit bugs. As a second project I work for the Lubuntu project, the lightweight ubuntu for old computers, I basically try to help out on their channel ( #lubuntu) wherever I can (and of course have a lot of fun with the other lads out there!). At last I'm also working for the gmpc project (Gnome Music Player Client), it is a graphical front-end for MPD (Music Player Daemon). The player carries with a lot of functions, and still achieves to use minimal resources. I help the project by translating words to Dutch, help out on the channel #gmpc wherever and whenever I can. Last thing I did and still do for the project is build a website, I've made it and keep it up to date with information about the player. The site can be found here: GMPClient.org.
