It is ironic that I did't actually start using Linux until October, 2009. Honestly, I didn't use Linux (it was back then Ubuntu 9.10) except for ONE WEEK. I was introduced to Linux by a friend from UK (we used to play together a game on Facebook called My Heroes Ability - thanks to Zynga, the game is dead now) and I have never met that friend, I wish I could, hopefully one day. Then, in 2010 after less than a year, preciously in August 2010, I gave it another thought and started to use Linux. Long story short, since that day until now, I have never stopped using, breathing and contributing to Linux and hope I will never stop no matter what. Simply and honestly, Linux has changed my real life and I do mean it. After one year, I joined Lubuntu Team and became one of the most active members on that team with so many responsibilities and tasks.

About Me
amjjawad is the username I use for almost all Linux Communities. My Real Name is Ali. I'm 33 years old, have BSc in Computer Science.I simply breathe, drink and eat anything related to IT and/or Technology in general, mainly GNU/Linux; that is why I call myself Ali Linx.
It is ironic that I did't actually start using Linux until October, 2009. Honestly, I didn't use Linux (it was back then Ubuntu 9.10) except for ONE WEEK. I was introduced to Linux by a friend from UK (we used to play together a game on Facebook called My Heroes Ability - thanks to Zynga, the game is dead now) and I have never met that friend, I wish I could, hopefully one day.

Long story short, since that day until now, I have never stopped using, breathing and contributing to Linux and hope I will never stop no matter what. Simply and honestly, Linux has changed my real life and I do mean it.
After one year, I joined Lubuntu Team and became one of the most active members on that team with so many responsibilities and tasks.
Two years with Lubuntu Team, I have achieved a lot and have done a lot. I have decided to take my contributions to the next level and join more Communities. I have chosenUbuntu GNOME. Not only that, I wanted to put my experience, abilities and skills on test and started my own projects such us ToriOS and StartUbuntu.

He was instrumental to Lubuntu's success and, honestly, we're still working on incorporating some of his ideas. He has contributed to several different teams, as well, as is not a one-sided contributor. It's honestly remarkable he has not yet become a member. wxl
Ali has been a huge help to the ubuntu community for many years now. He is a major part of lubuntu's popularity from his work promoting it, as well as currently helping ubuntuGNOME by being the head of testing for that project. Ali definitely deserves to be an ubuntu member, i'm surprised he isn't one already. Noskcaj
Ali has been instrumental in driving the progress of the Ubuntu Gnome directive and his leadership skills are top notch. Ali's dedication is evident as he seems to respond to posts on the Ubuntu Gnome Mailing Lists with almost un-humanlike speed, even at 2:00 in the morning. Clearly Ali will make a great asset to the Ubuntu Membership Team KeithIMyers
I met Ali during my involvement with Ubuntu GNOME. He's been turbo active with the community. He made a lot of wiki pages, organized sub-team, recruit people to run those sub-teams. I was wondering where did he find all this energy. He deserves to be Ubuntu member. iosifidis (GNOME Foundation Member, Ubuntu GNOME)
I haven't met Ali but I know him through his work on Ubuntu GNOME, which the word 'outstanding' doesn't even begin to describe it, but his overall contribution is pretty impressive. He inspires, organizes and leads the Ubuntu GNOME Team, one of the best teams of Ubuntu contributors I have ever seen. We are lucky to have him and he would be an excellent and valuable addition to the Ubuntu members family. eliasps (Ubuntu member)
Ali joined the Ubuntu GNOME team about 18 months and quickly shot up the tree to become non-techical lead. He has done a great job of oranising more structed team, marketing and communciation type stuff, all my working on other ubuntu-related projects. I actually told Ali he should apply for membership when he first joined our team, he certainly deserve it now! darkst (Technical Lead Ubuntu GNOME)
