About me

My wiki page is here

My Launchpad profile is over there

I am an enthusiastic proponent of all things Free Software and especially Ubuntu. I jointly own and run a small consultancy business focussing on helping organisations of all sizes use Free and Open Source solutions. In Ubuntu I have been involved in running a few events with the UK LoCo Team, such as the last two Christmas parties, the Cloud Expo and various other events I contributed to in a small way. I help with the meetings and I redesigned some of the process around that and extended the mootbot meeting manager tool. I organised the selection process for the new LoCo logo. I am getting involved in the Ubuntu Accessibility team, testing Ubuntu to make sure it works for everyone, and working with others on a series of educational persona documents, the first of which is here. I am an Ubuntu Member and I help to maintain some interesting statistics on the number of women Ubuntu Members. I also did some bits and bobs on the new http://ubuntu-uk.org website.

Things I'd like to do

• I would like to increase the number of events we run and encourage others to organise events across the country (I am quite London/South focussed)

• I would like to be more organised about the distribution of the LoCo allocation of CDs

• At some point as an authorised LoCo team we have to go through a reapproval process, so I want to make sure that happens successfully
