=== 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). For the couple of weeks after Ubuntu 6.06 LTS was released, I helped for a number of hours each day. Unfortunately, I have since had to cease this, as sitting on #ubuntu uses insane amounts of bandwidth, and quickly exceeds my 1GB/month download quota. |

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.
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.
