| Since installing Ubuntu I have become completely hooked. I never thought any OS would make me leave my beloved OS for the last 10 years, the mac OS. After installing Ubuntu on an old Toshiba that was lying around the office I instantly knew I was on to something. Over the next month I used my mac less and less and for the first time in my life I bought a PC. I now use Ubuntu full-time, except for at work, and I have never looked back. I find myself completely in amazment that I had not tried Linux sooner. So I have joined my Loco and have spent many hours trying to educate people on the beauty of Linux and Ubuntu. I keep saying to myself "If only people knew". In addition to the Loco I also triage bugs, work on icons, and have been learning all about making themes. I come from a Graphic Design background so I feel this is where I can contribute the most. However I have been learning some of the languages used in Linux. I am currently learning Python and plan to continue on after that and learn C. I then hope I can contribute to Ubuntu more thoroughly. | Since installing Ubuntu I have become completely hooked.

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.
Luke WIsdom
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.
