Interview of the Week

This week we interview Daniel Holbach, one of the recently appointed Community Council members, and a member of the Ubuntu Utah LoCo team.

UWN Reporter: Since when have you been member of the Ubuntu community?

Daniel Holbach: I started using Ubuntu in the no-name-yet.com days and got heavily involved during Hoary (when I should have focused on my thesis instead). I became a MOTU on February 15th, 2005 and member a bit before that.

UWN: What do you think the next year will look like for Ubuntu?

D.H.: We'll see more teams, more people within the community, more people from other communites and groups who will work with us, lots of participation, lots of community action and of course Ubuntu will be better versatile than ever.

UWN: What do you think can be improved in the Ubuntu community?

D.H.: We can all try to make our teams more inviting, more open and make it as easy as possible to join in and get some work done. Also we need to make sure we share the knowledge we have and make it accessible to new contributors.

UWN: What are you most active in the community?

D.H.: I'm currently most active in the MOTU Mentoring program (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU) and in the Desktop Team (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam). We're looking for contributors - join in on the fun!
