| Linux user since 2004 (Linux User #458827, Ubuntu User #19076). I'm interested in computer history, user support and audio/video production. Very technical but not a programmer (yet). I try to make myself available to help anyone who is having issues or requires help. This allows me to get complete perspective of how the distro is used by different people, and collect opinions on, as well as discover different projects. I am not shy to ask for help, experiences and knowledge from others. I find it efficient to engage in a conversation with others, which I prefer over reading documentation. I am highly motivated to learn and support. As the Ubuntu user base will grow every day, more individuals and companies are switching to Ubuntu, which I am very enthusiastic about. I am dedicated to making Ubuntu a better distribution. I am currently trying to concentrate on community involvement, LPI certification and server competency. I feel that many people could benefit from my being an active community member. | Linux stats: |

| 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.

Testimonials
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 -- mathieu-tl 2009-11-18 21:43:25
