About me
Living in the Netherlands, I'm a GUI-oriented Xubuntu user looking to help people by writing tutorials and helping on IRC (I'm often in #xubuntu and #xubuntu-devel) and mailinglists (xubuntu-users, which I administer, and xubuntu-devel).
Skill Set
Though not of much use to Xubuntu, I'm fluent in (object-oriented) PHP, XHTML and CSS. I've also toyed with the GIMP and Inkscape.
Besides, I'm very familiar with Xubuntu so I can help most people with most basic and some advanced tasks. I also have a small amount of experience with Ubuntu.
Dutch is my native language, and I can officially call myself a "near-native speaker" when it comes to English. Writing is something I quite enjoy - a skill I use in writing tutorials regarding, among others, Xubuntu.
My Contributions
Team Membership
Translation/Localization
- For upstream Xfce I've done Dutch translation work, most notably for Thunar.
Support & Bug Triage
- Helping with Xubuntu in #xubuntu on irc.freenode.net
- Occasionally triaging a bug on Launchpad.
Tracking Xubuntu on Ubuntu Brainstorm, making sure ideas end up with the right people.
Documentation
- Writing tutorials on third-party sites.
Community, Advocacy, & Marketing
- Managing Xubuntu.org
- Promoting Xubuntu at my own and other websites
Code, Packaging, & Development
- Nothing much to see here...
Plans & Goals
Finding as much time as possible to contribute to Xubuntu with the limited set of relevant skills I have.
