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 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.
Within the Ubuntu community, I focus on helping others with their LoCos and getting involved in Ubuntu. I was elected the the LoCoCouncil in November 2009. I'm active in the Ubuntu women team and also the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NGO

Testimonials
- "Laura has a natural talent to get the right people connected so great things happen. I've seen here do this again and again in Ireland with great outcomes as she points above. I'm very thankful for her unmeasurable work (with sweat and tears) making ossbarcamp happen and her huge involvement ubuntu-ie. Laura definitely is a open source HR superstar." -- Luis de Bethencourt
"Laura is one of the core members of the Irish Local Community. Without Laura and her organizational skills we wouldn't be able to run events like the Software Freedom Day 2008 and the Global Bug Jam in February 2008. Laura is always the first one up for writing an event report. Very active on both #ubuntu-ie IRC and mailing list." -- Maciej Danielski
"Laura is a very energetic and ongoing contributor. I had the chance to share community sessions with her at UDS Karmic and I believe her enthusiasm is one of the things that really impressed me but also her push to get things done is amazing. She has proven to the Irish LoCo Team and she is now begining to share with the world wide community with her work at UDS and her commitment for the Karmic Moala Release Cycle. " -- EfrainValles
"Laura's commitment and enthusiasm are contagious. Her dedication to her LoCo team and other areas, such as Ubuntu Women, really make her stand out. Her participation really helped make UDS-Karmic the best UDS yet. I look forward to working with her more!" -- dantrevino 2009-06-02 05:33:29

Testimonials for EMEA Regional Membership Board
"I met Laura at UDS Barcelona and have been in frequent contact since regarding Ubuntu-NGO, Ubuntu-Woman and some other Ubuntu-related projects. She is sincere, honest and compassionate. I recommended that she run for the EMEA regional board since I believe that she has just the right combination of human skills, community insight and Ubuntu knowledge to make a great membership reviewer." -- JonathanCarter
