= About Me =

Linux stats:

 * Linux user since 2004
 * Registered Linux User #458827
 * Ubuntu User #19076
 * GNOME user

Interests:

 * Free Software
 * Ubuntu
 * Computer history
 * User support
 * Audio/Video production
 * Bicycles
 * Yoga

Technical although not a developer, I work at helping users and improving Ubuntu. I try to make my experience and knowledge available to people who require my help. Open projects such as Ubuntu and Linux in general exemplify crowd-sourcing (the act of outsourcing tasks to a community). As the Ubuntu user base grows every day, the group effort will make Ubuntu a better distribution. There is hope for mass adoption, hardware manufacturer involvement and professional media production tools.

I am interested in improving the quality of free software, so I stay up to date on bugs users of Ubuntu are facing. I am involved in the Ubuntu bugsquad and bugcontrol teams reporting, debugging, confirming, and preforming triage of bugs.

I can help others [[http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html|effectively report]], [[DebuggingProcedures|debug]], [[https://blueprints.launchpad.net/malone/+spec/malone-me-too|confirm]], [[https://help.launchpad.net/Bugs/Subscriptions|subscribe]] and [[Bugs/HowToTriage|triage]] bugs. See the [[http://www.google.com/coop/cse?cx=001461844748502826593:hh-ikmexth4|Custom "Ubuntu" Google Search]] which is helpful for searching bugs, threads and blogs relating to Ubuntu (contact me to add a site to the search index).

David is a relentless community contributor. Although he is a Canonical employee at Support, he goes way beyond any of his duties by actively engaging the local community, filing bug reports and advocating Ubuntu user to anyone. David does not stand around watching and chatting, he MAKES THINGS HAPPEN. Be careful what you comment around him, if it makes sense and takes Ubuntu further, he'll do it :) -- FabianRodriguez

David has been of awesome help in organizing some of the latest events in Ubuntu-Quebec. He's not afraid to step in and make things happen, and go the extra mile to make Ubuntu and our LoCo rock :) -- [[LaunchpadHome:mathieu-tl]] <<DateTime(2009-11-18T16:43:25-0500)>>

Is there anything you found missing from Ubuntu at this link? If so, PM David about what he did in it and he will update his past activities on it(He actually has some memory loss in what he did for the community :D). I am with Him for about an year and my interactions with him made me take some solid decisions and he guided me a lot in what I do. I support him fully in the present and for future for any steps he takes. [[Mohan_chml|Mohi]] Sep 17 16:32:11 UTC 2010
