| = About Me = Hello, my name is Johnny, a father of three. For as long as I can remember computers have fascinated me. From my first experiences to Windows 3.1 and MS-DOS to my more resent experiences on Ubuntu, I've loved it all. I first hear of Ubuntu probably 5 years ago. I was intrigued with a free OS, but never got around to installing it. Recently I finally took the plunge and set up a dual-boot with Windows XP. |

Hello, for as long as I can remember computers have fascinated me. From my first experiences to Windows 3.1 and MS-DOS to my more resent experiences on Ubuntu, I've loved it all. I first hear of Ubuntu probably 5 years ago. I was intrigued with a free OS, but never got around to installing it. Recently I finally took the plunge and set up a dual-boot with Windows XP.
Community Involvement
I've not had much community involvement, but would like to help out as I was. I've been hanging out in the Absolute Beginners sub forum and #Ubuntu-beginners channel to help as I can. Hoping to learn more to allow me to help other beginners.
Launchpad
Not having any training in programming, I'll be over at Launchpad Answers doing my best to help others.
Ubuntu Forums
Being a beginner myself, you will find me over at the Beginners Forum. Fortunately, I have been able to help out a couple of people so far here.
Ask Ubuntu
Another place that you might be able to find some of my help in the community.
IRC
Here is were I will be spending most of my time helping others. I will be found in #ubuntu-beginners or #ubuntu-beginners-team. The fine folks at in the beginners channel helped me out quite a bit as I converted over to Ubuntu. Just trying to give back.
Teams & Focus Groups
Only starting to get involved, I'm not currently a member of any Teams or Focus Groups. But I'm looking to join the Teams/Groups below.
Ubuntu Beginners Team
I'm not currently a member of this team, but working on getting my membership. I was helped by a few really nice people from this team and want to repay the community.
Support Team
This is one of the teams that I'm looking to join once I'm a member of the Ubuntu Beginners Team. I would like to help the people that are making that jump to Ubuntu.
Documentation
This is the other team that I am considering. Again this is a way to support new users.
