ABOUT ME

Hello all,

My name is Ron. I got my first computer, a Ti 99 4a in 1981 and that started a life long interest in computers. My first experiences with Linux was Open SUSE in 1997 and Debian in 1999. In 2008 I tried Ubuntu and have been using different variations of Ubuntu ever since. I joined AZLOCO in 2013 attending install fests and taking on more responsibilities. I now chair the club meetings on the first Sunday of each month and help maintain the BBB server. I have been a college student since 2015 studying computer engineering and promoting Ubuntu and FOSS on campus.

TESTIMONIALS:

I have known Ron Ash for about three years. He has taken on additional responsibilities within the Ubuntu Arizona Local Community Team and accomplished them with professionalism. He enjoys discussing problems and possible solutions to them. His knowledge of Linux/Foss/Ubuntu and willingness to share that knowledge with others is well known among his Team members. In addition to his accomplishments within the Team, he has taken it upon himself to spread Ubuntu to his family, friends, and acquaintances both in Arizona and California. He is well worthy the honor of becoming a Ubuntu Member.
