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.

Contributions

  • I have been working on SpreadUbuntu for the last year, doing nearly all of the work, and gladly donating my time to do it. It's been a lot of fun, and will continue to be for the years to come.

  • Since I essentially created SpreadUbuntu, I have helped tens of thousands of people spread ubuntu to an unknown, but large number of people.

  • I keep a couple Ubuntu posters on my dorm door, and frequently get asked about Ubuntu is by its readers. I gladly answer their questions and give them a CD.
    • I have personally installed Ubuntu on 3 computers, and recommended it to at least 20.
  • I've Helped others on the Ubuntu forums. I have an RSS widget that I routinely look at and jump on problems that I can answer.
    • I have answered approximately 100 questions over the years.
  • 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.
