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]]

Introduction

My name is Faith. It's faith the flower of light in the field of darkness that's giving me the strength to carry on.

My name is Hope. Hope is the only bee that makes honey without flowers. Some see a hopeless end, while others see an endless hope. When the world says, "Give up," Hope whispers, "Try it one more time. And Once you choose hope, anything is possible.

My name is Ambition. Ambition: is the desire for personal achievement. It provides the motivation and determination necessary to help give direction to life.

Impossible does not exist in my life.

Motto

  • All of us are smarter than any one of us.

  • I’m determined to achieve my goals so either I succeed or I succeed.
  • "A computer is like air conditioning, it becomes useless when you open Windows." - Linus Torvalds

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. 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.

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.

Testimonials

Feel FREE to write your feedback or testimonial about me Smile :)

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
