| Outside of work and social activities, I'm a participating member of the [:ChicagoTeam:Ubuntu-Chicago] L''''''oCo team and the [http://www.chicagolug.org Chicago GNU/Linux User Group]. My main Ubuntu-related contributions are currently centered on Xubuntu documentation and the Ubuntu-Chicago L''''''oCo team, but I have also done some Xubuntu ISO testing during the Feisty and Gutsy release cycles. | === Team membership === |

| == Ubuntu-Specific Contributions == A lot of my contributions don't involve me getting any additional karma points on Launchpad. :( However, I'm a very active member of the Xubuntu team, and am also very involved with the Chicago L''''''oCo Team. As I mentioned above, my current contributions are focused on the Xubuntu documentation effort. I was recently given commit-rights to Xubuntu documentation, and have been [http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-doc/ubuntu-doc/xubuntu-hardy/changes committing revisions] on a regular basis. My goal is to make the Xubuntu documentation the most thorough and accurate of any Xfce-based GNU/Linux distribution. Within the Xubuntu community, I've done a good deal of leg-work for Xubuntu developer team, including arranging and facilitating meetings during the Gutsy release, and (on short notice) co-facilitating the [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs/openweekfeisty/xubuntu Xubuntu session] during the Feisty-cycle Ubuntu Open Week (My participation starts at about 03:13). I also regularly assist end-users with questions on the #xubuntu irc channel and in the xubuntu-users mailing list. I also make frequent contributions to the Ubuntu-Chicago L''''''oCo team. I'm presently one of the team administrators on Launchpad, but my present focus within the team is to coordinate team learning opportunities. I try to balance team learning around both team interests, and new features that are present in Ubuntu. Thus far I've presented about how to use bazaar for both Ubuntu-related and personal projects. === Team Membership === * Member of the Xubuntu team |
