About me

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 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.

Not only that, but I am also a regular volunteer/community member of Free Geek Chicago, an organization dedicated to helping the "needy get nerdy." Free Geek Chicago recycles used technology to provide computers, education, internet access and job skills training to the underserved communities of Chicago. We also happen to use Xubuntu as our Linux distribution of choice. Smile :-)

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 a decent writer, and am willing to donate time and energy to these worthwhile projects.
