Contributions
I'm an active member of Ubuntu-Women, and help out in the Amarok channel. At present, I'm the editor of the Amarok Insider, and am heading up the writing team for the new Handbook. Locally, I've been active in the Washington LoCo, and am considering volunteering for a leadership position with that team. I staffed a booth at both http://linuxfestnorthwest.org/ and OSCON in 2010, and am now organizing both Ubuntu Global Jam locally, and possibly Software Freedom Day in September.
Future Goals
I hope to finish the Amarok Handbook soon, and find other tech writing projects which need doing in K/Ubuntu. I want the Washington LoCo to grow, and become official, and continue to have fun.
Testimonials
Valorie is a tremendous help with driving and planning activities for the Ubuntu Washington LoCo. Her cheerful personality makes her great company. We are very lucky to have her around. -- linda-halligan 2010-08-16 19:09:52
