| == About my involvement with Ubuntu == * I have been an Ubuntu user since October 2005, first using Kubuntu Breezy, then (as I saw the subtleties of GNOME) moving to Ubuntu for the Dapper development cycle. * I have followed the development for every release since, filing and helping with bugs along the way and helping out with specs and translations for the en_GB language (which is the true English!). * I have worked on the development and implementation of the ForumAmbassadors specification. * A quick [http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=Toby+Smithe Google search on my name] will show a variety of mailing list posts I have written, but above and beyond that (and not quite so visible) is my participation in IRC (where I help users out - as much as I can with packaging and tech support - and pester for donations to my [http://tibsplace.co.uk/venezuela Venezuela fund] :) ), and also my Launchpad team participation, where I am active in teams that I enjoy participating in. * I am also [http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=60364 pretty active on the Ubuntu Forums], where I try and do my best to help out; frequently checking out new support posts and trying to answer them. Not only does this help the community, but if there's something I don't understand, I can learn too! |
I am an Ubuntu Member, and volunteer Ubuntu (Studio) developer. Recently, during the Hardy cycle, I have worked on getting alsa-firmware included somewhere; the somewhere ending up as being in Medibuntu. I have also packaged mscore and fluid-soundfont, and have been working on better MIDI support in Ubuntu. Both these packages are on their way into Debian. |

| * Furthermore, I am a strong Ubuntu advocate. * I have helped with the Ubuntu marketing, including helping with the weekly newsletter. * My work for Ubuntu Studio includes working on the ubuntustudio-dev team as a developer, and am packaging packages, working on bzr/Launchpad integration, and [[UbuntuStudio/CinelerraReview reviewing Cinelerra]] * I have worked on a number of packages, as can be seen on [https://launchpad.net/~tsmithe/+packages] * I try and improve sound support in Ubuntu, working with the ubuntu-audio team, and developing [https://launchpad.net/asoundconf-ui asoundconf-ui]. |

| == Where I want to go next == * I would like to see Ubuntu used more widely in education. * I would like to improve sound in Ubuntu, and see PulseAudio replace ESD. * I would like to see UbuntuStudio make a great success, and take the industry by storm. However, this unfortunately seems unlikely; though I try hard to not be pessimistic. |
