About Me
I want to be able to say Ubuntu is the ideal OS for everyone regardless of technical skills. There is a lot of work to be done to make sure Ubuntu beginners do not fall in to any of the traps there are in an otherwise slick OS. I believe I can help the team move forward to achieve this goal with improvements to the software or documentation.
I hope there is a place on the team where my skills can be of use.
Relevant Skills
My day job involves analysing user sceanrios, writing requirements, working with programmers and managing priorities. I am not a programmer or an IT specialist.
Ubuntu Experience
I had been trying Linux for 10+ years but finally changed over full time at when Lucid came out.
Driving Philosophy
I put a great deal of importance in good user interfaces that can save learning time, forum searching, beginner despair and mistakes. Since Maverick came out I have never needed the Terminal, purely because I am interested in the state of Linux GUIs.
