| I'm William, and I have been using Linux for the past 4 years. The primary distribution I used before 2005 was Debian, until I discovered Ubuntu.

| I have been pro-OSS for the past few years, converting many people to Mozilla Firefox/Thunderbird, but have been reluctant to propose that everyone use Linux, as it was simply too difficult for many people, until Ubuntu came along, that is. The more people involved in Ubuntu, the better, so I am involved in AustralianTeam, spreading Ubuntu throughout Australia! I know that Ubuntu has the potential, but we now need the marketing. | |

About Me
At the moment, I'm finishing off my final year of Bachelor of Science (Software Systems) at the University of Melbourne. I've been using Linux since I was introduced to Red Hat in mid-2000. I then switched to Slackware for a while, then Debian, and finally Ubuntu (in January 2005). I've not left Ubuntu since. On 2006/09/06 I became an Ubuntu Member, and on 2006/09/24 a MOTU.
