About Me

Well, what's to say? I have been using some form of Ubuntu since 6.10 (Which I updated to Lubuntu 10.04 a week before 10.10 came out.) I've been off and on IRC since 2008, but now I'm on full time thanks to the help of irssi and screen.

I have volunteered in the IS department at a local hospital for over 400 hours over a 3 year period.

I've been a fair board member, CARTeens instructor, Jr Leader, and club president in 4-H with 6 years of self-determined projects on computers.

Community Participation

IRC

I'm currently helping out in the #lubuntu and #xubuntu IRC channels. I plan to continue helping in the support channels and learn from the others in there as well.

Part of being in the Lubuntu community, I understand the role of Catalysts and also OP for our channels.

I'm in quite a few channels, but I can usually be found in one of the following Ubuntu channels:

  1. #ubuntu-us-oh
  2. #lubuntu
  3. #xubuntu
  4. #kubuntu
  5. #xubuntu-devel
  6. #lubuntu-offtopic
  7. #xubuntu-offtopic
  8. #kubuntu-offtopic
  9. #ubuntu-beginners
  10. #ubuntu-beginners-team
  11. #ubuntu-youth

And you can find me in other random freenode channels.

ISO Testing

As part of the Lubuntu and Xubuntu teams, I do ISO testing and bug reporting and get to work some great people in both communities. I firmly believe there is a place for both flavors.

US Ohio LoCo

As a member of the Ohio Local Community, I attend the local Ubuntu Hour regularly, hangout in our IRC channel and attend other LoCo events. I hope to attend OLF and as many other statewide events as I can!

Ubuntu Beginners Team

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=btlogo.gif

I am an active member of Ubuntu Beginners Team, I welcome people and try to guide them along the process of joining the Ubuntu community by setting up Launchpad, a wiki page, getting identified with the focus groups, and setting up their nick on IRC. I also provide support when I can.

Launchpad

When first setting up Launchpad to officially join our LoCo, I signed the CoC and made sure to have all the requirements fulfilled. I have since then joined a few teams, reported bugs, and tried out the code hosting (even though I am not a programmer)

Zenix

During 2011, I had the honor of working with BodhiZazen on his Debian remix called Zenix. At the time, I didn't fully know him and how involved he was with the Ubuntu community. I was the main tester and now I am a forum moderator. It was with this experience that I decided to help Xubuntu with ISO testing and later with Lubuntu before they got official support. My thanks to the Zenix team with starting me on the path to getting involved in the testing aspect and what I learned with them.

Future Aim In Community

I will keep on helping in IRC, ISO testing, our Local Community, UBT and support. It would be great to get people I know using something in the Ubuntu family! I believe the 4-H motto fits here too, "To make the best better". I would like to become an official Ubuntu Member.
