Summary
I developed (nearly) all of the code behind SpreadUbuntu, and most of the configuration, which took me a half a summer, a winter break, and another summer break to get fully refined. I did have help and support from other users (namely huayra). but I did most of the work. Currently seen at http://spreadubuntu.neomenlo.org/
- I have an RSS widget and frequently help new users with problems I have experience with whenever I see them.
- I spread awareness of Ubuntu to the peers who I help with computer troubles, and recommend it when appropriate.
About Me
My hobbies are web development and exploring Ubuntu Linux. I enjoy the flexibility of using Ubuntu on a daily basis. I use it for many things, but mainly to help me develop websites like neomenlo.org and spreadubuntu, which is currently located at http://spreadubuntu.neomenlo.org. I also like making short scripts that automate my routine.

I run a blog http://echowarp.neomenlo.org/ where I post ideas that I come up with, and short scripts that I write.
- I routinely do a lot of voting on Ubuntu Brainstorm. I know it isn't really helpful since it's asking, and not doing, but it's fun and I like to give my input on how to make Ubuntu even better.
Goals
- Create a spreadubuntu website that finally earns the "spreadubuntu.com" domain
- Nearing completion
Add great new components to SpreadUbuntu, like LoCo centralization.
- Taking C++ classes and will hopefully be able to contribute code to Ubuntu or its many applications in the future.
- Learn python to make fun scripts
- I have made a cool little window that displays how much time is left in my day as a progress bar, then notifies me when it's time to go to bed.
