Occupation:

Student at the Medical Faculty of the University of Belgrade

Plans:

• Finish my studies and still keep using open source software.

• Promote valuable open source solutions to every human being (that is, as much I can).

Self-remarks:

In a phrase? A medical student with quite an open-source mind!

I'm an active computer hobbyist that has achieved a level from mere beginner to a truly active problem-solver that can overcome most problems and accomplish most of day's computer work by using GNU/Linux and open source software.

I have been an Ubuntu user since early 6.06 Dapper Drake ( and still have the CD covers! ). I've started my contributions through IRC helping at #ubuntu, then started experimenting with different various contributions.

Main forms of participation:

• Bug reporting/triaging
• Patches/debdiffs/packaging
• Helping out in IRC channels
