| Hello fellow Ubuntu users. I am matt_symes. | My name is Eleni Maria Stea and I am a software engineer at Canonical Ltd. My work mostly revolves around the Ubuntu desktop code (I work on nux, compiz, unity and some related programs). I like programming and especially computer graphics, computer vision and image processing (hobby projects: http://imgur.com/a/X06TZ). My favorite programming languages are C, C++ and Perl. |

| I am a software developer coding in C/C++, Python, HTML, CSS, Javascript and shell scripting. I also build and fix computers and configure networks. | |
| Line 13: | Line 14: |
| I run an Ubuntu 11.04 server and Ubuntu development version (currently 12.04) on my laptop. I also use Arch, Gentoo and Fedora and change between them as the mood takes me. | == Contact Information == |

| == About Me == I first got into software development when using a BBC Model B 32K computer. Yes, you read that correct - 32K of memory ! I started writing in BASIC on it and then taught myself 6502 assembler. I then moved onto a Commodore 64, games consoles and, finally, onto PCs. I studied computer science at university and and then started my career developing software in C/C++ mainly on the Windows platform. I had my first taste of Linux using Mandrake (now Mandriva) and Red Hat before it became RHEL. Back in those days it was alot more difficult to configure and, with only a dial up modem to get technical information, could be a right pain. Because work was based on Windows, i concentrated on Windows. I always kept an eye open to see what was happening with Linux but never used it as my main operating system. That changed with the release Ubuntu 9.10. I had bought a new Laptop and managed to completely erase the hard drive including the recovery partition, so much so that no recovery software would get the partitions back. At that time, I did not want to shell out for another copy of Windows. I had been running Ubuntu in a virtual machine before that so i felt comfortable enough to install it as my main operating system. It's Windows that i now run in a virtual machine. |

| My main contributions to Ubuntu have been through the Ubuntu forums where i try to offer help and advice in, hopefully, a polite manner; although others will be the judge of that. I report spam and abusive or inappropriate posts whenever i see them. | https://launchpad.net/~hikiko |

| I also wrote a script along with other forum members including hippytaff, to help diagnose wireless problems. | Bug fixes and new features on nux, compiz, unity and other desktop related projects. |

| I plan to continue using Linux and Ubuntu as my main operating system. My server has been very stable indeed, running Ubuntu. I plan on getting more involved in the testing side of Ubuntu and i have been considering starting or joining a software development project if time permits me. I am also considering using IRC alot more than i currently do. | Improve the Ubuntu desktop experience. |

| Please feel free to comment. I always appreciate constructive criticism. | Eleni is an active contributor to the Unity stack through her roles in Canonical. She uses the appropriate methods to consistently land changes into Ubuntu and such she seems like an excellent candidate for Ubuntu membership. Welcome Eleni! -- [[LaunchpadHome:robert-ancell]] <<DateTime(2015-10-01T12:31:04-0800)>> I know Eleni mostly from IRC, also from her contributions in Bugs. I'm following her [[https://ufuntu.wordpress.com/|blog]] and reading all the helpful (and in deep analysis) posts she makes. She is always willing to help and I believe she would be a valuable addition in Ubuntu Community as Ubuntu Member. I fully support her application. -- [[LaunchpadHome:nick-athens30|NickTh, "Ubuntu Member"]] |
