My screen name is kaziweb. I have started with Red Hat Linux before Ubuntu. I have started my Ubuntu journey from 9.04 Distro. I fall in love with Ubuntu because of it's awesome community and it's contribution system. I found there was no Ubuntu activity in Qatar and at the same time I'm always an Ubuntu contributor in any form, and I formed Ubuntu Qatar LoCo Team. I am leader and admin of Ubuntu Qatar Loco Team. I am trying to spread Ubuntu in Qatar in different ways. We are continuously conducting Ubuntu Hours. Here we provide support to users and making plans to spread Ubuntu. I've created all possible and major channels to spread Ubuntu. Presently, I am getting good response from computer users, they are getting attracted and converting. Team members increasing day by day. === Socially === As an Ubuntu Activist I feel, advocacy for Ubuntu is my duty. I always encourage my friends and giving them full support continuously. I'm living in Qatar. Here people are now aware of Ubuntu. I'm always informing and promoting Ubuntu for their daily use, showing them how they can use Ubuntu on their professional and Personal life. === Professionally === Presently, I am a Businessman before I was in IT profession. In IT my last job position was IT Manager. Now I use Ubuntu for my office as well for all computing needs. Being a businessman I have more opportunity to spread Ubuntu. My office itself is a place of Ubuntu demonstration. [[http://www.linkedin.com/in/kaziweb | My LinkedIn Profile]] == My Ubuntu Participation and Contribution == Documentation, Writing, posting on web and in fine, publicity is my day to day common activities beside these, Converting friends, Spreading Ubuntu, Advocating Ubuntu, Helping others to operate Ubuntu, Translation and bug reporting e.t.c. are also my continuous activities. I'm maintaining our wiki pages and all web groups. Continuously providing support and training on Ubuntu to new comers. I participate on IRC Channels when needed. Conducting regular Ubuntu Hour events and release parties. === Contribution to Qatari Local Community Team === To have a significant amount of Ubuntu LoCo Team Member I'm convincing computer users as per the Ubuntu guidance. We are reaching to retail stores who sell laptops and trying to convince them to display and sell Pre-installed Ubuntu Laptops. We got good response from them some of the shops selling Pre-Installed Ubuntu Laptops. For better impression and in promotion of Ubuntu I've developed our first wiki page.
