About Me

I am a development engineer: I design hardware and also write software for embedded systems.

Outside Linux I am a keen photographer. I play a number of musical instruments and also ride and train horses.

My relationship with Linux and Ubuntu

I have long been an advocate of open source software and always try to encourage others to use it where possible.

I have been using Linux since 2004 and Ubuntu since Hardy (8.04). My main OS now is Precise(12.04) though I do have a Quantal machine for test purposes and I also use Debian (Squeeze).

I first became involved with Ubuntu support in 2011 when I discovered a bug in the html mark-up validation package. I was impressed with the speed with which this was resolved and decided it was time I started to help too. I am most active in the Launchpad answers section and try to help a few users every day.

Warren is a very active member and he has often help users on Launchpad with questions and frequently picks up where I am unable to answer to reach a successful conclusion. He is polite in his manner and I sincerely recommend him for Ubuntu membership. ActionParsnip

I know Warren Hill from Launchpad Answers Tracker. He is very active - helpful and always kind with Ubuntu users who need help. His answers are explainable and clear. Sometimes questions can be solved with one answer (from Warren) only. I believe he would be a valuable addition to Ubuntu Community as Ubuntu Member. NikTh
