Introduction

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's 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.

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.

Impossible does not exist in my life. Extra Miles and Extraordinary are my other names Wink ;)

Finally, "A computer is like air conditioning, it becomes useless when you open Windows." - Linus Torvalds

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.
  • Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally.

About Me

amjjawad is the username I use for almost all Linux Communities. My Real Name is Ali and you can call me AJ. I'm 32 years old, have BSc in Computer Science and I simply breathe, drink and eat anything related to IT and/or Technology in general, mainly Linux.

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 chosen Xubuntu and Ubuntu GNOME.

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
