=== Helping in #ubuntu ===

Since slightly after the release of Ubuntu 5.10, I have been fairly regularly helping in the Ubuntu support IRC channel (#ubuntu). I have become more active since the release of Ubuntu 6.06 LTS, generally helping for multiple hours each day.

I am subscribed to the ubuntu-bugs mailing list, and triage many bugs within minutes of the inital report. I also often work through the list of unconfirmed bugs, trying to eventually eliminate it.

About Me

At the moment, I'm in first year uni doing Bachelor of Science (Software Systems) at the University of Melbourne, Australia. 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.

Ubuntu Involvement

I've been fairly active in the Ubuntu community since I joined it in early 2005. My contributions include:

  • Starting the Ubuntu AustralianTeam.

  • Managing the web hosting for the AustralianTeam.

  • Regular bug triage throughout Malone.
  • Updating/correcting/beautifying pages on the Ubuntu Wiki.
  • Merging and requesting syncs during Edgy development.
  • Doing a lot of general MOTU work.
  • X stuff.

Ubuntu AustralianTeam

Around the release of Ubuntu 5.10, YukiCuss and I started the AustralianTeam. It consists at the moment of about 60 Australian Ubuntu users who wish to help spread the word, and is still growing. I currently manage the web/email hosting for the team.

Bug Triage

A lot of my spare time is spent attacking the enormous number of bugs that we currently have on our plate.
