It seems that no matter who I know, work for etc I always end up being called dendle. So for the longest time it is my nick for almost everything web-related that I am involved in. I have been using Ubuntu since Breezy Badger back in 2005. It shares a place in my digital life with my Mac, and Win..machines. I have been using Unix since my undergrad days back in the early 90's (even learnt PDP8 programming for what that was worth). Currently I am running Ubuntu 9.10 on my Toshiba laptop, and loving it. My start in Unix and Web Development began in 1993, when I managed parts of my Faculties website. I am an old man in the world of web development. I remember when HTML tables was released and that was a big deal!!! I remember when dynamic websites could really only be developed using Perl, and Windows had no equvilent web application solutions (ahhhh glory days). I have been working IT for many years now. Here is a quick Synopsis: 1. IT Support 2. University Tutor 3. University Lecturer (undergraduate and postgraduate) 4. Multimedia Programmer 5. Web Applications Developer (specialising in Oracle, PHP and JAVA) 6. Business Analyst 7. Project Manager Currently I run my own small IT Support Business. This means that I have time on my hands to finally be able to join and contribute to the Ubuntu Community. It had always been my goal but I knew that I did not have the time. Well now I do :) == Documentation Background == I have a love for document/technical writing. In my past roles I have been responsible for writing to Senior Management, End users and clients. Some examples of documents I have co-authored are the following (note: these documents were aimed at a web authoring/publishing community of around 250 staff): 1. Publishing Web Addresses Policy 2. Web Collection Management Policy 3. Web Collection Management Policy Schedule 1: Roles & Responsibilities in Managing Web Content 4. Web Collection Management Policy Schedule 2: Expiration of Web Records and Content 5. Web Services Naming Policy 6. Web Services Naming Policy Schedule 1: Operational Guidelines & Procedures I have also been responsible for / involved in the testing phases of websites for commercial vendors. For some sites it was User Acceptance testing of the site (content, structure etc), and others it was the design/look'n'feel testing down to the pixel (This was for a large global fast food chain). And of course I have written that many Project Plans, Analysis Documents etc ..... == Ubuntu Participation == === Beginners Team === I am a member of the [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam/|Beginners Team ]]. I am using this Team as the springboard to my greater involvement with Ubuntu Documentation and Support (via the forums). === Internet Relay Chat === My registered IRC nickname is dendle. I am looking forward to getting to know you all better as I progress down the path from Padawan to Master :) The following is a list of the channels I can be found in. 1. #ubuntu-beginners 2. #ubuntu-beginners-dev 3. #ubuntu-classroom 4. #ubuntu-doc 5. #ubuntu-beginners-launchpad 6. #ubuntu-au
