Summary
I am a very active member of the Ubuntu California team, where I have organized and presented at Bug Jams and release parties. I have also organized the team's past two appearances at SCaLE, as well as OSCON 2009. I took my experience and distilled it into a discussion at Ubuntu Open Week.
School
I've done a lot of work to promote Open Source at my school, and have taken full advantage of my positions as president of our Computer Science club and network technician to use it everywhere possible. At Network Operations, most of our infrastructure takes advantage of Linux and other Open Source projects; I was stoked to flash the open source DD-WRT firmware on all of our Linksys Access Points in the Fall of 2008. I've used Python and Bash to do a lot of scripting, and have used many other Open Source technologies in the line of duty.
As President of the ACM, I've given several presentations about using Linux, the command line, and other free tools, which have been well received, and instrumental in the slow conversion to Open Source. I spoke about some of the possibilities for College and Open Source at SCaLE7x, and am constantly working on new ways to make it easier for students to take advantage of the free tools available to them. I'm doing research with my advisor, creating a repository of Open Source Science projects.
Development
I've done general bug triage for a few years now; I'm quite familiar with the bug trackers for Gnome and Mozilla, as well as Launchpad. I have a few patches here and there, but am just starting to get the time and programming chops to start doing real development work. I helped merge miro at the beginning of the Jaunty cycle, which was a very involved but enlightening experience. I think that I'm more interested in upstream work rather than packaging, and have been happily delving into Robert Love's Linux Kernel Development book the past few months.
LoCo
I have been a leader of the Ubuntu California team since the summer of 2007, and have helped run several events hosted at Chapman, including our participation in the first Global Bug Jam, where I gave a Bug Triage presentation, and our Intrepid Release Party. I was also involved with our Ubuntu presentations at Cal State Long Beach, the North Orange County Computer Club, and the SGVLUG at Cal Tech. We've come a long way, and I'm really excited to continue to help spread awareness and increase participation in the LoCo.
Future
I seem to be oddly drawn to kernel development, as well as the "people" aspect of Open Source. I find myself most often spending time helping others work together and bring out the best in themselves, as can be seen with my work with SCaLE and the ACM. I'm looking toward helping contribute more code to Ubuntu through the next year, especially since I have the majority of my classes done. I've also gotten pretty comfortable with setting up booths at conferences, so I hope to take my presentation and start working on the wiki pages, as well as put together a good "conference box" that teams can use with minor tweaks at their shows.
