About Me
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 heard 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. Now Ubuntu is my mine OS and I'm not looking back.
Community Involvement
I haven't 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.
Forums
When I get the opportunity, I can be found at one of these forums, trying to help out others as my knowledge allows me.
IRC
Here is the place I probably will be spending the majority of my time as I try to help others. Listed below are the channels that I can be found.
- #Ubuntu-beginners
- #Ubuntu-beginners-team
- #Ubuntu-beginners-wiki
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.
Projects & Goals
Here is my current and future goals.
Current
Help beginner users on IRC, forums & launchpad
- Obtain a Master from the Ubuntu Beginners Teams for me to learn the ways of the linux.
Future
- Become a member of the Ubuntu Beginners Team.
- Join a Focus Group in the Ubuntu Beginners Team.
Continue to help other users on IRC, forums & launchpad as my knowledge of Ubuntu grows.
Testimonials
Please Note: If you would like to describe any of my contributions to the Ubuntu Community, please feel free to do so. Thank You.
