I've been using Ubuntu since March of 2006, and it was the first GNU/Linux distribution that got me "hooked" on Linux. Prior to using Ubuntu, I had used Red Hat Linux 9, Mandrake Linux (back when it was actually called "Mandrake"), and even had several failed-usage attempts involving Gentoo. My name is Jim, and I've been using Ubuntu since March of 2006. Although I had some experience with other distributions since the Red Hat 9 days, Ubuntu was the first GNU/Linux distribution that got me "hooked" on Linux.

My involvement with the GNU/Linux community at large has been steadily increasing, and I'm now a participating member of the Chicago GNU/Linux User Group and the Ubuntu-Chicago Loco team. I'm currently the Xubuntu documentation lead, and am also very much involved with the [[ChicagoTeam|Ubuntu-Chicago]] Loco team and the [[http://www.chicagolug.org|Chicago GNU/Linux User Group]]. If you're interested in contributing to Xubuntu system documentation, please get in touch with me!

I am also a regular volunteer/community member of Free Geek Chicago, an organization dedicated to helping the "needy get nerdy."

In terms of my online Ubuntu-related activites, you will often find me in irc rooms such as #xubuntu, #ubuntu-chicago, #ubuntu-iso, #ubuntu-marketing, #xubuntu-devel, and #ubuntu-devel. I am not the most technically-savvy person in terms of coding skills, but I'm rapidly developing my skills, and am willing to donate time and energy to these worthwhile projects in whatever way possible while I develop my skills. === Team membership ===
