About Me

I'm Monica Ayhens-Madon, and I am a member of the Documentation Team for Ubuntu MATE. I also coordinate quarterly meetings of the ubuntu-flavors group.

In addition to these roles, I also work on documentation for OpenMRS and will be working with the newly formed team for imakefoss.

Contributions

• I am a member of the Ubuntu MATE Team and helped substantially with our website overhaul in April 2020. I also help with web site updates and co-authored the 20.10 release notes.

• I led an impromptu mentorship with a group of technical writers during Hacktoberfest, introducing many of them to open source contribution. Some of these volunteers will be staying with the project.

• I help Ubuntu MATE users on the Ubuntu MATE Community forums, particularly focusing on new posters and calls-to-action for testing.

• The ubuntu-flavors meetings I have organized and moderated have resulted in increased collaboration and cooperation for multiple flavors (upstream communication regarding Calamares, automating support on testing channels, an Ubuntu Studio artwork team member offering assistance to other flavors, among others). Meetings have now been established on a quarterly basis, and we now have a presence on the Ubuntu Wiki for creating agendas, minutes, and providing information.

Community

• I encourage regular communication in the Ubuntu MATE core team and help coordinate and organize meetings.
• I foster Ubuntu Flavor collaboration and cooperation.
• I am an admin and moderator of the Jupiter Broadcasting Telegram group.

• I am one of the organizers of the 'People Powered' Book Club, and help run a weekly video Q&A and a separate study group, in addition to occasional workshops.

Future Goals

• Help grow and sustain an active Ubuntu MATE community and core team
• Increase collaboration between Ubuntu flavors, as well as between the flavors and other parts of the Ubuntu community
• Help re-invigorate the Ubuntu community through engagement and content creation
