To help make Ubuntu the best and preferred OS by the world. To help make Ubuntu the best and preferred OS by the world. As part of this there is a few programs that I would like to eventually create.

The one (currently called Pointer) is something that will be an interactive manual which will guide a user through the steps to complete a task - much like one would guide a person who is computer illiterate.

The other (which will be called bubbles) is inspired by Ribbons as used in MS Office. A menu system that is more modular so that it won't be a pain in the butt on small screen while also reducing repetitive clicking.

To start achieving these I'm learn to QT with the Ubuntu SDK.

About Me

I've exclusively been an Ubuntu user since release 10.04. Vista used to be my main OS before this, but a Linux friend gave me an Ubuntu 9.10 CD which I tried out until 10.04 was released.

One thing that I was never really happy about my new OS, was that its GUI was a bit ugly in my opinion. This meant that I was one of those happy folks when Unity came out while having to read all the internet posts of those that weren't too happy with the change.

And today Ubuntu is the OS on my laptop, home server, my dad's laptop and the first choice that my brother uses for his home studio. This will hopefully expand in the near future when I finally own a BQ Aquaris E4.5 with Ubuntu installed.

Contributions

Not much yet. The most has been on askUbuntu late 2013 and early 2014 although I'm starting to pay a bit more attention there again. The worst is the one or two bug reports that I've filled since 2011. I'm currently active on the Ubuntu-ZA IRC channel to give support when needed.
