Aloha :) I'm involved in the Ubuntu-ie LoCo. Living in Dublin since January 2008, and work as a Software Tester. Became involved in Open Source in College in University of Limerick - UL and was President/Chair of [[http://skynet.ie/|Skynet]], our Computer Society and ran skycon.skynet.ie/2007

I'm not a developer, however I do contribute by helping educate people on the "other" choice out there, and showing them how user friendly Ubuntu is. I also love to organise events where people can learn more and interact and show off new projects they are working on.
