About Me

This is Kazi Shahnoor Ashraf. My screen name is kaziweb. I'm not new to Linux. I 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 noticed there is no Ubuntu activity in Qatar and at the same time I'm always an Ubuntu contributor in any form, I formed Ubuntu Qatar LoCo.

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.

I have created Web Groups in Social Networking sites as well. Ubuntu Qatar Facebook Group is the most active one.

Web Groups:

Google:

Professionally

I am a Businessman. 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.

My Ubuntu Participation

Converting friends, Spreading Ubuntu, Advocating Ubuntu, Helping others to operate Ubuntu, Translation and bug reporting e.t.c. I always provide support and training on Ubuntu.

Documentation, Writing, posting on web and in fine, publicity is my day to day common activities.

I participate on following IRC Channels when needed.

#ubuntu-qa (this IRC channel was for Ubuntu Quality team. I claimed it for us as "qa" is the country code for Qatar. People from #ubuntu-locoteams helped me to get this channel for us. Now this is our own channel)

Ubuntu Forums

I am a Moderator for Qatar Team - Ubuntu Forum: http://qa.ubuntuforums.org

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.

What I've done for Ubuntu Qatar LoCo Team as follows:

IRC channel: #ubuntu-qa (I am operator here)

Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-qa (Owner here)

mailing lists: ubuntu-qa@lists.ubuntu.com ubuntu-qa@lists.launchpad.net

I'm getting excellent support from various sectors of Ubuntu Teams specially #ubuntu-locoteams.

Now, we have a very vibrant LoCo Team. Our Facebook Group is most active.
