About Me
summary
Ubuntu Contributions
Local Community
Ubuntu Oklahoma LoCo Group Lead
As team coordinator I am responsible for the well being of the Oklahoma LoCo. I welcome new members and get them acquainted with the tools our LoCo uses. This includes a Google Apps account I created for our team for us to share documents and calendars. I work to keep up the momentum of the team by planning events and keeping a dialogue on the mailing list. I publish a monthly/bi-monthly newsletter about the team and the ubuntu community as a whole to keep members informed and excited about the community. The current goal of the LoCo is to increase membership.
- Tulsa Monthly Meetup
Oklahoma Loco members who live in Tulsa are invited out for this informal get together where we share our ideas and experiences about Ubuntu. We set up a computer with Ubuntu for coffee house patrons to use. As the customers use the computer to surf the internet we take the time to educate them on Ubuntu.
Launchpad
Beginners Team Launchpad Focus Group Lead
Reoriented the team when i took over lead and developed a team strategy i call 'Educate & Participate'. The goals of the team are to educate the Ubuntu Community about the different tools available on Launchpad and how they can be used. The Launchpad Focus Group also focuses on participating in Launchpad through Bug Reports, Launchpad Answers, and Translations.
Bug Squad member
I actively triage bugs on Ubuntu. My most productive month was December 2008: duanedesign #9 in the last 30 days with 86 bugs
Launchpad Answers - Another avenue i use to help Ubuntu users with and problems they might be having.
Ubuntu Documentation
"Best of Ubuntu Community Forum Tutorials" project - Boucft is an Ubuntu package of relevant tutorials I have taken from the Ubuntu Community Forum. These tutorials and how-to's are converted to DocBook format and centrally archived to give users another avenue to locate information produced on the Community Forum.

Testimonials
I think that Duane has been making a significant effort to boost our LoCo participation and coordinate meetings, events and functions.
I really haven't heard from our Team staff members so I'd like to nominate Duane Hinnen to be (minimum) our Team Coordinator and recognized for efforts he's made to motivate and coordinate our team.
Great job. We really appreciate the work you've done Duane.
Regards,
Travis Northrup
I second that.

I support Duane's application for Ubuntu Membership totally and unequivocally. Duane's passion and dedication to Ubuntu is not only wholly obvious to anyone fortunate enough to work with him, but has shown sustained and unending commitment. His time in the Ubuntu Forum Beginners Team has already made an impact in these short months. My short time with Duane has been nothing but positive, and I look forward to working together in the future. I am honored to say that I support his induction as an Ubuntu Member.
I met Duane when he offered me his time to be my master and help me enter the Ubuntu Beginners team. Since that day i found a very collaborative person who is always willing to help and teach others everything he knows, which is a lot. He encourages people to become better and join different areas of Ubuntu. For all the work he has done and all the stuff he will do I support his application for Ubuntu Membership. Pablo Rubianes
