About me

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.

A friend of mine suggested me to try Debian back in 2006. I tried it, but I wasn't completely satisfied. I liked the contribution and everything, but it seems that it was missing a desktop-oriented "touch". Around the end of spring in 2006, I found out about ubuntu and I thought to give it a try. I have been an Ubuntu user since early 6.06 Dapper Drake. I've started my contributions through IRC helping at #ubuntu, then started experimenting with various ways of contributions.

Plans

  • Keep using open source software.
  • Promote valuable open source solutions.
  • Promote use of open source software in Cyprus.

  • Create an official ubuntu-cy LoCo team.

Activity

Here's a summary of my participation:

  • Helping out in forums
  • Programming (applications / projects)
  • Bug reporting/triaging
  • Patches/debdiffs/packaging
  • Helping out in IRC channels

I tried to categorise my activity below. Some forms of participation are repeated.

Internet

I used to blog a lot before, I'm considering to start again when I resolve some real life problems.

IRC

I used to use IRC back when it was popular, but nowadays not so often.

IRC Channels I prefer: #ubuntu-rs, #ubuntu-gr, #ubuntu-cy

Rarely contributing/discussing at #ubuntu+1, #ubuntu-bugs, #ubuntu-devel, #ubuntu-motu, #ubuntu-locoteams
